Peptides meet time-release tech in this retinol reboot
Retinol is one of the most trusted ingredients in skincare, known for smoothing fine lines and helping with breakouts. But anyone who’s tried it knows: it’s not always a smooth ride. Flaking, redness, and dryness are often part of the deal—especially if your skin leans sensitive.
That’s where Nu Skin’s ageLOC Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex comes in. Designed to deliver the benefits of retinol without the harsh side effects, this product takes a different approach by combining retinol with peptides and using smart, skin-friendly delivery tech.
The formula uses a time-release system, meaning the active ingredients are delivered gradually rather than all at once. This helps minimize irritation while still giving your skin the boost it needs. The addition of peptides also helps support the skin’s natural repair process, which can improve firmness and texture over time.
The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly—no greasy residue or strong scent. While it still targets wrinkles and loss of elasticity like the traditional retinol products, it’s made to be much easier on the skin. Results won’t appear overnight (no retinol truly works that fast), but users can expect smoother, brighter, more even-looking skin with consistent use.
What makes it stand out is the balance—it’s strong enough to make a difference, but gentle enough for those who’ve tried retinol in the past. So if you’re just starting to explore anti-aging skincare or you’ve been using retinol for years, this might be worth adding to your skincare lineup as it offers a gentler, more thoughtful approach.
Nu Skin’s ageLOC Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex is available via the brand’s website and authorized distributors.
