There is no denying that retinol is one of the most effective ingredients when it comes to fighting the signs of ageing. But, it’s not for everyone. Retinol is notorious for being difficult to tolerate and often leads to skin sensitivity, irritation and flaking. So what if we told you that there’s a natural alternative that is better tolerated, and not only rivals the efficacy of retinol, but surpasses it?
Enter NUXE Nuxuriance Ultra, the new skincare range that reveals the brand’s most significant anti-ageing innovation to date: ALFA [3R] Technology. This ultra-powerful, natural-origin technology is supported by three patents and acts on the skin at three different levels to address the main signs of ageing: wrinkles, firmness, sagging and lack of radiance.
ALFA [3R] Technology is inspired by the extraordinary power of nature. At the very heart of this unique technology lies a trio of natural-origin ingredients offering global anti-ageing correction more effective than retinol:
Hyaluronic acid
Natural-origin and derived from bio-fermentation with a regenerative action on the fibres supporting the skin.
Organic alfalfa extract
A regenerative plant concentrate with a powerful restorative action on the dermis and epidermis.
Day lily extract
Offers antioxidant and anti-glycation properties.
How does ALFA [3R] Technology surpass the efficacy of retinol? By offering three powerful levels of action on the skin:
[R]esurfaces – the skin’s surface is smoothed
[R]enews – skin renewal is activated
[R]evitalises – skin activity is stimulated
Making a claim is one thing, but NUXE has proven the potency of ALFA [3R] Technology in clinical studies. An in vitro test was conducted in the laboratory on two formulas with an identical base: one containing a retinol concentration typically used on the market and the other the Alfa [3R] Technology concentration found in Nuxuriance Ultra Alfa formulas. The formula containing the Alfa [3R] Technology demonstrated a superior level of activity on each of the three biomarkers characterising epidermal regeneration – that’s pretty ground-breaking!
So now that we know ALFA [3R] Technology is more effective than retinol in its anti-ageing capabilities, how else does it compare?
Retinol is a predominantly synthetic compound, while ALFA [3R] Technology comprises natural-origin ingredients.
Retinol is not recommended for sensitive skin. Its ‘exfoliating’ action may cause irritation, sensitivity, dryness, tightness and stinging, plus, it makes the skin more sensitive to the sun. ALFA [3R] Technology is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, does not irritate the skin and does not increase UV sensitivity.
The range comprises a serum, eye cream, three different moisturisers and a night cream:
