Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex + Uplifting Cream Bundle (CA)

The Evening Ritual Prairie Skin Actually Needs

When a Calgary Chinook swings temperatures 20°C in a single afternoon, skin doesn't know whether to sweat or crack. Months of forced-air heating, bitter wind, and sudden warm spells leave mature skin simultaneously dehydrated, dull, and depleted of collagen. The Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex + Uplifting Rich Cream Bundle is built for exactly this kind of compound skin stress: encapsulated retinol drives cell turnover and collagen stimulation, while the Uplifting Rich Cream delivers intensive peptide hydration that counterbalances retinol-induced dryness — all in two coordinated evening steps. At CA$127, the bundle saves CA$24 compared to purchasing each product separately (CA$78 + CA$73 = CA$151 individually).

Who It's For

Best Suited For

• Adults 40+ with dry or mature skin showing signs of wrinkles, loss of firmness, and dullness
• Those living in Prairie provinces or anywhere across Canada where forced-air indoor heating runs October through April, chronically dehydrating skin
• Anyone who wants a streamlined, two-product evening routine with built-in anti-ageing synergy
• Retinol users who have previously experienced dryness and want a rich moisturiser designed to work alongside retinol
• Those transitioning from a patchwork of mismatched products into a single coordinated system

Less Suited For

• Complete retinol beginners with highly reactive or sensitised skin — introduce gradually
• Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding (retinol is not recommended during pregnancy)
• Oily or acne-prone skin types seeking lightweight daytime coverage (this is an evening system)

Pairs Well With

• ageLOC LumiSpa iO + Cleanser — evening cleansing step before applying the retinol complex
• ageLOC® Tru Face® Refining Toner — preps skin between cleansing and retinol application
• Nutricentials Day Dream Protective Lotion SPF35 — essential morning sunscreen to protect retinol-renewed skin
• Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ Peach — ingestible collagen to support the topical retinol-driven collagen renewal from within

What's Inside the Bundle

Tru Face® Peptide Retinol Complex

Encapsulated retinol is the cornerstone of this formula. Encapsulation protects retinol from premature degradation and allows for more controlled delivery into the skin, which research in dermatology journals associates with better tolerability compared to free retinol formats. Paired with peptides, the complex targets two pathways simultaneously: accelerating epidermal cell turnover to resurface dull, thickened skin, and stimulating collagen synthesis to address visible lines and loss of firmness. A pea-sized amount applied to clean, dry skin is all that is needed.

ageLOC® Tru Face® Uplifting Rich Cream

Designed specifically for dry and mature skin, this peptide-infused moisturiser does double work in this bundle. First, it provides the intensive hydration that retinol-treated skin consistently requires, buffering the transepidermal water loss that retinol can temporarily increase. Second, it delivers its own firming peptides, meaning the anti-ageing effort does not stop when the retinol absorbs — it continues through the night via the moisturising layer. For those navigating cold rink air after a hockey game or the relentless dryness of a Winnipeg January, the richness of this cream is particularly well-matched to the skin conditions most Canadians face for half the year.

How to Use

Evening: Cleanse → Apply Retinol Complex (pea-sized amount) → Apply Uplifting Rich Cream generously. The Rich Cream buffers retinol's potential dryness while delivering its own anti-ageing peptides. Sunscreen is essential the following morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does shipping take to my province in Canada?

Orders ship from the official Nu Skin Canada warehouse and typically arrive within 3–7 business days across most of Canada. Remote and Northern communities may experience longer delivery windows. CA$2.99 flat-rate shipping applies, with free shipping on orders over CA$79.

How much do I save with the bundle versus buying separately?

The bundle is priced at CA$127. Purchased individually, the Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex retails at CA$78 and the Tru Face Uplifting Rich Cream at CA$73 — a combined CA$151. The bundle represents a saving of CA$24.

Is this bundle suitable for retinol beginners?

Those entirely new to retinol with reactive skin should introduce it gradually — start with two to three applications per week and build up. The Uplifting Rich Cream provides meaningful buffering, which can reduce the adjustment period, but individual skin sensitivity varies. If your skin is highly sensitised, speak with a dermatologist first.

Can I use this bundle if I live in a very dry climate like Calgary or Edmonton?

Yes — the bundle is particularly well-suited to low-humidity environments. The Uplifting Rich Cream is a rich, intensive moisturiser designed for dry and mature skin, which directly addresses the chronic dehydration that comes with Prairie winters, Chinook wind exposure, and months of forced-air heating.

Why is sunscreen mentioned as essential the next morning?

Retinol accelerates cell turnover and can temporarily make newly revealed skin more susceptible to UV damage. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning — especially during Canadian winter when snow-glare UV can be unexpectedly high — is a standard and important step when using any retinol product.

Is retinol safe to use during pregnancy?

Retinol is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This applies to topical retinol products generally. If you are pregnant, speak with your healthcare provider about suitable alternatives.

Does the Uplifting Rich Cream need to be applied immediately after the retinol, or should I wait?

Allow the Peptide Retinol Complex to absorb for a moment before applying the Uplifting Rich Cream. There is no strict waiting period required — the cream is formulated to complement the retinol layer rather than dilute it. Applying the cream while skin is still slightly damp can enhance its hydrating effect.

Is this product regulated by Health Canada?

As a topical cosmetic product, this bundle is regulated under Canada's Food and Drugs Act and Cosmetic Regulations administered by Health Canada. It does not carry an NPN (Natural Product Number), as NPNs apply to ingestible natural health products rather than topical cosmetics.
