Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex + Uplifting Cream Bundle

The Two-Step Evening Routine That Replaces a Five-Product Shelf

If you've been piecing together an anti-aging routine product by product — a retinol here, a firming cream there, something for dryness, something for sagging — this bundle was built for you. The Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex + Uplifting Rich Cream Bundle ($99.00) pairs the two most complementary products in the Tru Face line into a single coordinated evening system. Whether you're dealing with Chicago's brutal winter dryness that strips every bit of moisture out of mature skin, or the relentless UV accumulation that catches up with Los Angeles residents in their 40s, this two-product sequence covers resurfacing, firming, and deep hydration in one routine — without the guesswork of mixing formulas from different brands.

The pairing is deliberate: the Peptide Retinol Complex accelerates cell turnover and rebuilds collagen; the Uplifting Rich Cream counteracts retinol-induced dryness while adding its own firming benefits. Both products share ageLOC technology, meaning their active systems are designed to complement rather than compete.

Best Suited For

• Best suited for: Adults 40+ with mature or dry skin concerned with wrinkles, sagging, dullness, and dryness who want a simplified, coordinated evening anti-aging routine
• Less suited for: Retinol beginners with highly sensitive skin (start slowly); those looking for a morning-only routine (retinol is evening-use)
• Pairs well with: A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ in the morning (required when using retinol), and a gentle cleanser to prep skin before application

What's Inside the Bundle

Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex — The Resurfacing Step

Retinol remains the most evidence-backed topical anti-aging ingredient available without a prescription. The Peptide Retinol Complex delivers retinol alongside a firming peptide complex to address the two primary drivers of skin aging: surface-level texture (cell turnover, hyperpigmentation, fine lines) and structural deterioration (collagen loss). This is your evening resurfacing step — the ingredient doing the active work of replacing damaged cells with fresh ones and stimulating the skin's collagen-producing processes.

Tru Face® Uplifting Rich Cream — The Firming & Nourishing Step

Powered by ageLOC technology, the Uplifting Rich Cream addresses age-related gene expression — targeting the underlying mechanisms of visible aging, not just the surface symptoms. Its firming peptide complex supports skin tightness and contour, while a rich emollient base provides the deep hydration that retinol-treated skin requires. Applied over the Peptide Retinol Complex, it seals in the resurfacing actives while layering on its own lifting and nourishing benefits.

What Makes This Bundle Different

Formulated as a System, Not an Afterthought

Many retinol-plus-moisturizer pairings are assembled from whatever happens to be on the shelf at CVS or Sephora. This bundle is different: both products are from the same Tru Face line, meaning the retinol concentration in the Peptide Retinol Complex is calibrated with the knowledge that the Uplifting Rich Cream's emollients follow. There's no risk of ingredient conflict, no guessing about application order, and no redundancy between the two formulas.

ageLOC Technology Across Both Products

Both products share Nu Skin's proprietary ageLOC technology, which targets age-related gene expression — addressing the source of visible aging rather than masking it. Having this technology working across two coordinated steps in your routine means a more consistent approach to how skin aging is addressed at the cellular level.

Key Ingredient Highlights

• Retinol (Peptide Retinol Complex) — Accelerates cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, and fades hyperpigmentation. The gold-standard topical anti-aging active with decades of peer-reviewed support.
• ageLOC Technology (both products) — Targets age-related changes in gene expression to address aging at its source.
• Firming Peptide Complex (both products) — Signaling peptides that support structural protein maintenance and skin tightness.
• Rich Emollient Base (Uplifting Rich Cream) — Deep-hydrating oils and waxes that counteract retinol-induced dryness and reinforce the moisture barrier — essential for office AC environments and Midwest winter conditions.

How They Work Together

The sequence is intentional and builds on itself:

• Peptide Retinol Complex first: Resurfaces skin at the cellular level — faster cell turnover, new collagen stimulation, fading of dark spots and uneven tone. Your skin becomes smoother, brighter, and more even over time.
• Uplifting Rich Cream second: Firms, lifts, and deeply hydrates. Counteracts the drying tendency of retinol while adding its own anti-aging peptide action. Seals in the resurfacing step and replenishes the barrier.

The result: a complete anti-aging treatment — resurface → firm → hydrate — in a two-product evening routine.

How to Use

Evening routine: Cleanse → tone → apply Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex to face and neck → wait 5 minutes for absorption → apply Tru Face Uplifting Rich Cream on top. The retinol works underneath while the cream provides a nourishing, firming seal over it.

Morning: Use the Uplifting Rich Cream alone (retinol is evening-only) followed by SPF. Always use SPF 30+ during the day when using retinol products — retinol increases photosensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bundle available for US customers, and how quickly does it ship?

Yes — the Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex + Uplifting Rich Cream Bundle ships from Nu Skin's US warehouse. Delivery is typically 3–5 business days across the continental United States. Alaska and Hawaii may require additional transit time.

Do I have to use both products together, or can I use them separately?

Each product functions independently, but they're designed to be most effective when used together in sequence. The Peptide Retinol Complex is evening-only; the Uplifting Rich Cream can be used both morning and evening. In the evening, apply the retinol first, allow 5 minutes for absorption, then apply the cream over it.

I'm new to retinol. Is this bundle appropriate for first-time retinol users?

If you're completely new to retinol, introduce it gradually — start by using the Peptide Retinol Complex two to three evenings per week for the first two to four weeks before using it nightly. The Uplifting Rich Cream's rich emollient base helps buffer the dryness and sensitivity that some first-time retinol users experience, making this pairing more approachable than a retinol-only step.

Why do I need to use SPF when using this bundle?

Retinol accelerates cell turnover, which can temporarily increase photosensitivity. Daily use of SPF 30 or higher during the day is essential when using retinol products to protect newly resurfaced skin from UV damage. This is consistent with FDA guidance on photosensitizing cosmetic ingredients. The Tru Face routine is designed for evening use precisely for this reason.

Is this bundle suitable for skin concerns like sagging or loss of firmness, not just wrinkles?

Yes — the Uplifting Rich Cream specifically addresses sagging and loss of contour through its firming peptide complex and ageLOC technology. The Peptide Retinol Complex addresses surface-level aging (fine lines, texture, tone), while the Uplifting Rich Cream addresses structural aging concerns. Together they cover both dimensions — surface and structural — making the bundle relevant for the full spectrum of mature skin concerns.

What skin types is this bundle most appropriate for?

The bundle is specifically formulated for mature, dry to normal skin. The Uplifting Rich Cream's rich emollient texture makes it particularly well-suited for those who experience dryness, tightness, or increased sensitivity — common concerns for skin in the 40+ age range and for anyone dealing with dry climates, forced-air heating, or prolonged office air conditioning exposure.

Can I use the Uplifting Rich Cream in the morning and the Peptide Retinol Complex in the evening?

Yes — this is the intended morning/evening split. In the morning, use the Uplifting Rich Cream alone, followed by SPF. In the evening, apply the Peptide Retinol Complex first, wait five minutes, then apply the Uplifting Rich Cream over it. This maximizes the use of both products while keeping retinol correctly sequenced for evening-only application.

How does this bundle compare to buying the two products separately?

The ageLOC® Tru Face® Uplifting Rich Cream is $52.00 and the Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex retails separately. The bundle at $99.00 offers a value-oriented entry point to both products as a coordinated system.
