ageLOC Tru Face Uplifting Rich Cream — Maximum Firmness and Hydration for Dry Irish Skin

ageLOC Tru Face Uplifting Rich Cream is the heavyweight in the Tru Face range — a deeply hydrating, firming treatment cream that visibly lifts and contours skin with consistent use. In Nu Skin's clinical testing, 90% of users reported noticeably firmer skin within four weeks, with improved contour definition visible from week two. The rich, emollient texture provides serious moisture-barrier support, making it particularly well-suited to Irish skin dealing with the dehydrating effects of central heating from October through April.

Why Rich Cream Suits Irish Winters

Ireland's indoor heating season runs roughly seven months — from mid-October to late April in most homes. Central heating reduces indoor humidity to as low as 25–30%, compared to the 40–60% range skin thrives in. This sustained low humidity strips moisture from the skin's outer layers, exacerbating fine lines, tightness, and flakiness. A rich cream with occlusive and emollient ingredients creates a physical barrier that slows transepidermal water loss (TEWL), keeping hydration where it belongs. Published research in the British Journal of Dermatology (2018) confirmed that occlusive moisturisers measurably reduce TEWL and improve barrier function within 24 hours of application.

Key Ingredients

ageLOC blend: Nu Skin's gene expression technology targeting the upstream processes of skin ageing. In a rich cream base, the ageLOC actives have prolonged skin contact — particularly during overnight use — allowing for extended interaction with the Youth Gene Clusters.

Peptide firming complex: A combination of signalling and carrier peptides that support collagen and elastin maintenance. The peptides in this formula work on both structural protein production and the skin's natural repair mechanisms, delivering the visible lifting effect that gives this cream its name.

Shea butter: A rich emollient with anti-inflammatory properties. Shea butter provides long-lasting moisture without the greasy residue of mineral oil-based alternatives, and contains vitamins A and E for additional antioxidant support.

Ceramides: Lipids naturally found in the skin barrier. Supplementing with topical ceramides reinforces the moisture barrier at a structural level — particularly valuable when that barrier is compromised by cold air, wind, and indoor heating.

How to Use

Apply a generous amount to face and neck after cleansing, toning, and serums — best used as your evening moisturiser when the rich texture can work uninterrupted overnight. Massage in upward, lifting strokes from jawline to cheekbones, then from brow to hairline. The cream absorbs over 2–3 minutes, leaving skin feeling cushioned rather than greasy.

For daytime, most people prefer the lighter Transforming Gel Cream or Radiant Day SPF 22. The Rich Cream can be used morning and evening during particularly harsh cold snaps or if your skin runs very dry year-round.

Rich Cream vs Transforming Gel Cream — Which One?

This is the most common question in the Tru Face range. The honest answer: it depends on your skin type and the season. If you have dry or mature skin, or if you're in the thick of Irish winter and your skin feels tight by midday despite moisturising, Rich Cream is the right choice. If you have oily or combination skin, or you're reading this in July when humidity is higher and heating is off, the Gel Cream will feel more comfortable. Many customers own both and switch seasonally — a sensible approach that matches the product to your skin's changing needs throughout the year.
