A relatively new British skincare brand on the market, yet it managed to receive plenty of rave reviews from beauty magazines like Vogue. Thanks to its patent pending unique dual approach and signature MSM repair and regenerating complex.
Some of its lines won multiple awards in the natural health category in 2012.
We came across Nutri-Active Day Cream during our facial experience at Chuan Spa in Hong Kong last year. The effect was pretty impressive. Skin looked instantly supple and hydrated.
So, despite the hefty price tag, we decided to buy it in the end because of its very impressive mixed of ingredients. We both agree that its formulation is sensible enough to justify the product claims - Hydrates, Revitalises, Repairs and Protects the DNA.
This is our third bottle now and it still remains as one of the best skincare products we have used by far.
Nutri-Active Day Cream
Key ingredients:
A nice blend of organically certified natural ingredients but the two ingredients that really stand out amongst all (in my opinion) are highlighted in BLUE.
- MSM - the most bio-available form of sulphur, aids collagen production and helps keep skin strong and supple.
- Milk peptides - immediately lift, firm and tone the skin leaving a natural sheen and radiance by stimulating collagen synthesis by 40%, increasing Hyaluronic Acid production by 1900%, reducing wrinkle depth by 35%, increasing cell-to-cell communication and boosting key elements of the Dermo-Epidermal junction making nutrients more available to the skin.
- Inula viscosa and Vitamin E - protect against free-radical damage and enhance cell resistance to UV.
- Our elite grade Hyaluronic acid and Omegas-3 and 6 (from Shea Butter, Jojoba, Sesame and Rice Germ Oil) - provide long lasting hydration, plump and restore softness and elasticity.
- Swiss Apple Stem Cells - prolong the life of healthy skin cells, help repair and protect DNA and reduce fine lines and wrinkles by 15% after 4 weeks and stimulate cell proliferation by 80%.
- O3 Stressed Yeast Lysate - increases cell respiration and the skin’s energy to stimulate new tissue growth, repair, regenerate and protect DNA.
- Prebiotic Oligosaccharide - stimulates the skin’s defense barrier to protect its ecosystem.
- Vitamin A from Rosehip Seed Oil rejuvenates and regenerates by encouraging cellular processes.
Who is it for?
It is generally suitable for anyone from twenties onwards, male and female, anyone who wants to look young and wants to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and anyone who has a very sensitive skin (because the ingredients are completely botanical and natural).
How much is it?
One bottle of 30mL costs about £52 in the UK.
In Hong Kong, we paid about HKD800 per bottle.
In Australia, the price swings anywhere between $98 to $129, depending on your luck.
Other Comments:
This product does not contain fragrance or any other artificial scent.
The smell of the Omegas is quite potent. It almost reminds me of Fish Oil capsules.
Some people may not like it but it smells pretty healthy to me anyway (^o^)
well.. it is about the range of SK-2 lo, I think. So might as well buy this to try too .. but I have too many things to put on my face now.
