Nuface

Silk Crème Activator

50ML

This IS a good product for the appropriate user

A word to the wise. It's really important to look at the age bracket of the reviewer along with their skin type. I received a small tube of this as part of a kit and was slightly trepidatious as device peddlers have long been strict about what you can and can't do before using microcurrent due to the impact on the conduction. I'm onto my third NuFace and have watched the products and how they are packaged morph across numerous incarnations to the point that I now take this with a pinch of salt. This product seems counterintuitive with past advice being to meticulously cleanse with their wipes to the point of stripping it of all oils and then they come up with this? The consistency is creamy, even slightly oily but it doesn't impact the conduction at all. If I apply the product in sections, I don't need to re-moisten it with spray and if you have more mature or dry skin, it's perfect and herein lies the secret to reading reviews. A quick audit shows that most of the people who aren't fans are either under 45 (or 30!) or have oily skin so one would argue that they shouldn't be using it at all! When I've finished my treatment, my skin looks bright and dewey. Sometimes I pop something over the top before I go to bed and sometimes I don't need anything so concerns about the cost are also eased because you're essentially getting two products for the price of one. This leads me to the next point. Why aren't people doing these treatments at the end of the day which seems to make sense? It is expensive and the tube is small so I've taken a star off for that. There should be a more economical option but it IS a good product.

Best Use: Treat Pigmentation / Dark Spots, Treat Redness, Hydrating, Barrier Repair, Reduce Dullness, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture, Visible Pores, Firming, Anti-Aging

Expensive and peels

I got this product in the kit with a massager, and I have to say that this is the only product from the kit I am not happy with. First of all, you have to bear in mind that you need a lot of it to make the massager painless. Considering how much you need, it is very pricey. Secondly, it tends to crease a lot. You need to wash everything away before proceeding with makeup. I watched Lisa Eldridge’s video on the topic, and she advised using aloe cream instead. I really enjoy this method. I am very generous with the product. It feels nice, especially if you keep it in the fridge.

Meh product

This silk cream came with my Nuface Trinity device. It is not totally bad product but I think the gel activator will be more suitable for me. As a person with oily skin, it quite confuse my in my skin care routine. As per instructions, I apply it on cleansed skin and then start the Nuface treatment. I do not want to wash it of after, it is not cheap and I do not want to loose the benefits of the product, but what should I apply afterwards? Toner, serum or just another cream? I think that the gel will be easier for me, I can take it as seruk in my skin. By itself, it gliders nicely with the device, I like the applicator when I apply the cram in sections during treatment. But it also peels with some of my products.

Stick with the Regular Activator

The came with my new Nuface device. I did like the texture and it went on like silk. I didn’t see any better results from using this vs just using the regular activator. Due to this I don’t think it’s worth spending the extra money. Probably won’t buy again.

Best Use: Hydrating

Not for oily skin

I tried this out with my Nuface the other morning, and it's a no from me. For reference, my skin is combination / oily and also very sensitive / reactive to certain products. Thankfully it didn't react (sensitivity wise), but wowee my skin looked terrible that day. My makeup didn't sit well, and overall it felt like I had a layer of skincare on my face that wouldn't soak in. I definitely would not recommend this product to people with a similar skin type to mine - opt for the regular gel instead.
