Don't gother/save yr money!

Okay I was sucked into the whole age-loc back in Jan 2010, I bought the whole kit that goes with the Galvanic spa II. Now the galvanic is Great, but thr ageloc kit is sooooo not worth it. It claims to be all natural, but look at the back of the box and and the ingredients, then look those up online if you like doing research on skincare like me. Now I don't mind not using organic or au natural be...read morecause I love my botox, but come on...be honest about the product line and don't charge for products that are only worth literally 20% of the price..this stuff by itself is ridiculous and there are numerous products that work much better and is 90% the price of this. Ex..skinceuticals, bliss, eminence, okay, Avon anew products, clinique, lumene and etc....

Worth It and Then Some

It's not often I will spend $150 for a serum, but if it did what it promised...it would be worth that and then some. Now that I have tried it, I have to say it's the best money I've ever spent on my face.

Age-loc

I am excited to say that I have followed and have done research on this product and all of Nu Skin products. I am very impressed and will be meeting with a Rep tomorrow. The science can back alot of their claims.

Don't waste your $$$

It is nothing short of amazing (and sad, too) that NuSkin sees fit to charge so much money for a water-based serum. You’d think that a serum in this price range would be jam-packed with ingredients that improve aging skin, but this one simply isn’t. How this serum is supposed to transform anyone’s skin “for unsurpassed anti-aging results” is beyond any research that exists, not to mentio...read moren that if this is the "ultimate" answer for skin, why doesn’t NuSkin stop selling all its other anti-aging, antiwrinkle products? The formula doesn’t contain anything exceptional, and, of course, NuSkin doesn’t provide substantiated research to support their grandiose claims. They believe the ultimate source of aging is our genes, but that’s not entirely true. Genetics plays a role in aging and longevity, yes, but there are numerous other factors that contribute to what we perceive as aged skin and an “older” appearance. Sun damage outdoes genetic inheritance by miles, and unhealthy lifestyle habits (e.g., poor diet and smoking), gravity, physiological processes (such as the fact that we lose bone mass with age yet our skin keeps growing, leading to advanced signs of sagging), and many more factors, both within and beyond our control, all play pivotal roles. To think that aging comes down to genes is foolishness, or at least turning a blind eye to all of the other contributing factors mentioned above. Most important for you to know is that NuSkin hasn’t unlocked the secret to preventing or reversing aging—doing so is far more complex than what any cosmetic product could ever provide. AgeLoc Future Serum has a silky texture (like countless other serums) and contains some intriguing ingredients, including acetyl glucosamine (featured more prominently in Olay’s Definity products) and a handful of antioxidants, none of which are unique to AgeLoc. The only ingredient worth further explanation is equol- a substance produced in the intestines as a by-product of digesting soybeans and soy-based foods. Equol is a non-steroidal estrogen that acts as an anti-androgen by blocking the hormone dihydrotestosterone. Equol is chemically unique among the isoflavones (a family of phytoestrogens, plant estrogens). It is the major metabolite of the phytoestrogen daidzein, an isoflavone abundant in soybeans and soy foods. As a class of ingredients, isoflavones from soy have antioxidant ability, but their hormone-disrupting properties make them controversial ingredients to consume due to their potential link to stimulating breast cancer, although this research is mixed and inconclusive. What about topical application of equol as a by-product of soy? There is no research demonstrating it has any benefit beyond offering some protection to skin cells exposed to UVB radiation in a controlled lab setting. Even so, what research exists concludes that more studies are needed to determine the risks and benefits of equol in skin-care products and for oral consumption (Sources: The Journal of Nutrition, July 2010, pages 1369S–1372S and 1390S–1400S; International Journal of Dermatology, March 2010, pages 276–282; Immunology and Cell Biology, March 9, 2010 Epublication; and Journal of Investigative Dermatology, January 2006, pages 198–204). As more research is carried out on equol and other isoflavones, we may discover further advantages of these ingredients. But in terms of equol being one-stop shopping for genetic aging, that’s not likely to become reality, any more than eating only pomegranates or drinking noni juice can ensure perfect health. If you decide to invest in this serum, it is suitable for all skin types except sensitive due to the fragrance it contains. OK, one last comment: NuSkin states that based on daily usage, this serum should last for 30 days. That means you’d be spending $2,832 per year, an amount that would be better spent on any of several cosmetic corrective procedure options that will improve your appearance in a way this serum cannot. You be the judge.
