In the search for anti-aging skincare products, many of us eventually come across retinol – an ingredient often referred to as the "gold standard" in anti-aging cosmetics. However, using it doesn’t always work perfectly. Sensitive skin, unpleasant side effects, and increased sensitivity to sunlight push many users to look for alternatives.

Studies clearly show that retinol smooths the skin and adds radiance over time. That’s why it remains a flagship ingredient in many anti-aging product lines.

Modern cosmetic formulators aim to maintain retinol’s effectiveness while minimizing its aggressiveness. One of the most promising alternatives is alfalfa extract (Medicago sativa), which Nuxe has incorporated into its advanced line – Nuxuriance® Ultra.
The slogan of the Nuxe laboratory-developed line is: "More effective than retinol." This is not just a marketing claim – the products contain an innovative, naturally active ingredient that stimulates skin renewal through alfalfa extract without causing irritation or breakouts.
If effectiveness without compromising the skin barrier is your priority, the Nuxuriance® Ultra line from Nuxe is an ideal choice. It offers the same results as retinol – tone, firmness, even complexion – without the toxic effects and limitations.
Modern skincare trends lean toward natural, yet deeply effective formulations – and that is Nuxe’s strategy: firmness, youthfulness, and comfort in one product.
