180°® Face Wash-Nu Skin

Product Overview

The Nu Skin 180°® Face Wash is a daily facial cleanser formulated as Step 1 of the Nu Skin 180°® Anti-Aging Skin Therapy System. Unlike conventional cleansers, it features a patented waterless delivery system that maintains 10% free-flowing L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in an active, stable state until the moment it contacts the skin. The formula addresses visible signs of aging — including age spots, uneven skin tone, and loss of firmness — while leaving skin clean, soft, and refreshed. It is designed for both morning and evening use and functions as the foundation of a multi-step anti-aging routine. Ships from official Nu Skin warehouse through local NuBest stores worldwide.

Key Ingredients & Science

The 180°® Face Wash relies on a patented anhydrous (waterless) base — covered by U.S. Patents 5,409,706 and 5,254,334 — to preserve L-ascorbic acid at a clinically relevant 10% concentration. In conventional aqueous formulas, vitamin C degrades rapidly; the waterless system keeps it free-flowing and bioavailable until water is introduced at the skin's surface.

• Ascorbic Acid (L-ascorbic acid, 10%) — Inhibits melanin synthesis to reduce age spots and discolouration; supports collagen biosynthesis for improved firmness.
• Glycerin — Humectant that draws moisture into the skin, supporting softness and hydration during cleansing.
• Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract — Rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), providing antioxidant protection against free-radical damage.
• Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract & Panax Ginseng Root Extract — Botanical antioxidants associated with skin-tone support and overall complexion vitality.
• Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate — A licorice-derived compound with soothing, anti-irritant properties, supporting skin comfort.
• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate — A mild, coconut-derived surfactant that produces a gentle lather without stripping the skin barrier.

How to Use

Apply a dime-sized amount directly to dry face and neck in upward, outward strokes. Avoid the eye area. Allow the formula to remain on skin for one minute before adding water. With wet hands, gently work into a light lather, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Do not lather in hands before applying — this releases active vitamin C prematurely, reducing effectiveness. Use morning and evening as Step 1 of the 180°® routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 180°® Face Wash?

The 180°® Face Wash is a patented, waterless daily facial cleanser that delivers 10% stabilised vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) to the skin. It is formulated to reduce age spots, even skin tone, and improve firmness while cleansing the face and neck. It serves as the first step in the Nu Skin 180°® Anti-Aging Skin Therapy System.

What are the key active ingredients in 180°® Face Wash?

The primary active is L-ascorbic acid at 10%, preserved in a waterless base for maximum stability and skin delivery. Supporting actives include Grape Seed Extract, Ginkgo Biloba, Panax Ginseng, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, and Glycerin — contributing antioxidant, soothing, and hydrating benefits.

How does 180°® Face Wash work?

The patented anhydrous formula keeps vitamin C chemically stable until water is introduced at the skin's surface. This ensures high bioavailability at the moment of contact. Vitamin C then acts to inhibit melanin production (reducing discolouration) and stimulate collagen synthesis (supporting firmness), while mild surfactants remove impurities without compromising the skin barrier.

How does 180°® Face Wash fit into a skincare routine?

It is used as Step 1 in both morning and evening routines, followed by 180°® Skin Mist, 180°® Cell Renewal Fluid, and either 180°® UV Block Hydrator (morning) or 180°® Night Complex (evening). Using the complete system is recommended to achieve optimal anti-aging results.
