1. What is NVUS?
NVUS Awareness creams are the ultimate anti-aging skincare products. NVUS melds optimal concentrations of carefully extracted and exceptionally potent Ayurvedic botanicals with cutting-edge peptide technology to create anti-aging creams that are guaranteed to make you look younger.
NVUS Awareness creams were formulated with the help of scientists from around the world in collaboration with Ayurvedic doctors in India. All NVUS Awareness creams are made in Japan to the highest quality standards in the world.
2. How do you pronounce "NVUS"?
NVUS formulations support and stimulate the skin's natural ability to heal and to slow and reverse the signs of aging. It is this Natural Vitality and the envy it elicits from others that inspired the name "NVUS", which is pronounced the same as "envious" or "envy us".
3. Does NVUS guarantee results?
Yes! Please visit our Guaranteed Results page for more details.
4. How is NVUS skincare different/unique?
It took three years to develop and perfect the formulations of NVUS Awareness creams. These formulations are proprietary and are found exclusively in our products. Our proprietary formulations contain optimal concentrations of more than 10 carefully extracted and exceptionally potent Ayurvedic botanicals, including saffron — the miracle anti-aging spice that is more expensive than gold.
These are blended with up to seven cutting-edge bio-active peptides as well as several highly effective skin nourishers and moisturizers.
The result is four unique formulations — one for each of the face, eye, décolleté and hand regions — that are guaranteed to significantly improve every visible sign of skin aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, uneven skin tone, sagging, puffiness, inflammation and dryness.
NVUS Awareness creams are specifically designed to ensure optimum absorption and efficacy of the finest wrinkle fighting, skin tightening, exfoliating and hydrating ingredients, thereby eliminating the need for expensive toners, exfoliators, hydraters, pore minimizers, moisturizers and primers. Unlike other skincare brands, our formulations are all-in-one so we won't try to upsell you unnecessary additional products.
5. Why are there four NVUS Awareness creams?
There are four key areas for focused anti-aging: face, eye region, décolleté (neck and chest), and the hand.
Each of these areas have differences in the skin and they each suffer from exposure in different ways.
NVUS creams are designed specifically to target the vulnerabilities of each region without the need for multiple products per region.
The skin of the facial area is one of the most manipulated in our entire body — it is constantly washed, cleaned, dried and exposed to make-up and the elements. NVUS Face Awareness provides a comprehensive anti-aging bundle of holistic ingredients with cutting-edge skincare technologies wrapped in a delivery system which forms a multi-layer structure that mimics the skin. With five bio-active peptides and 15+ Ayurvedic and other botanicals the NVUS Face Awareness formulation reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, preserves skin texture and tone, fortifies, moisturizes and restores a radiant glow to the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
The skin under the eyes is very thin, highly vascularized and easily susceptible to discoloration. As a result, unsightly dark circles can develop, and if left untreated, can even become permanent. NVUS Eye Awareness specifically addresses this issue by reducing fluid build-up, improving lymphatic circulation, supporting the microvascular network and promoting even skin tone. Its seven bioactive peptides and 15+ Ayurvedic and other botanicals are equally powerful against the wrinkles and fine lines that often afflict this region.
The neck and décolleté are prone to showing age as wrinkles and fine lines. NVUS Décolleté Awareness provides targeted support to this region with our proprietary blend of Ayurvedic botanicals and peptides that stimulate collagen synthesis and boost skin elasticity and smoothness.
The hand is one of the most exposed areas and hence the skin of this area is very dense. NVUS Hand Awareness is texturally the densest of the NVUS Awareness creams and is designed to maximize hydration and provide extra softening and conditioning support to reduce the crumpled appearance that age brings to the skin of the hand. Several Ayurvedic botanicals help to lighten age spots and promote even skin tone while targeted peptides stimulate collagen production and address wrinkles.
6. What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is the traditional science of medicine from the Indian subcontinent. This ancient science of healing has been used for over 5,000 years. The healing and anti-aging properties of Ayurvedic botanicals, such as turmeric and neem, have been documented, clinically researched, and proven highly effective both in Ayurvedic and western medicine.
7. What are Ayurvedic botanicals?
Please visit our page on Ayurvedic botanicals.
8. Why is saffron so expensive and why is it such an important part of NVUS formulations?
Please visit our page on saffron.
9. What are peptides?
Please visit our page on peptide technology.
10. What important ingredients are in NVUS Awareness creams in addition to Ayurvedic botanicals and bio-active peptides?
NVUS Awareness creams also contain key anti-aging nourishers and moisturizers such as squalane, chlorella, ceramide-2 and hyaluronic acid, to further boost our potent anti-aging formulations.
11. How long does it take to see results?
Results will vary from person to person, however, most see results within about 14 days upon application of NVUS Awareness creams twice daily — in the morning and before bed time.
12. Do I need to use skin toners or face serums?
NVUS Awareness creams are specifically designed to ensure optimum absorption and efficacy of the finest wrinkle fighting, skin tightening, exfoliating and hydrating ingredients, thereby eliminating the need for expensive toners, exfoliators, hydraters, pore minimizers, moisturizers and primers. Unlike other skincare brands, our formulations are all-in-one so we won't try to upsell you unnecessary additional products.
If, you wish to continue using your skin toners and/or face serums in conjunction with the NVUS creams, there is generally no problem. Always consult your physician prior to using NVUS creams, however, if you are using prescription medicine for skincare purposes.
13. How should I optimize the age fighting effects of my NVUS skincare?
We suggest consistent twice daily usage — morning and night before bed time. Apply to freshly washed and towel dried skin.
For additional benefits, limit exposure to pollutants and ultraviolet radiation that have been proven to hasten aging.
14. Do NVUS Awareness creams control acne?
Many of the Ayurvedic botanicals in NVUS Awareness creams have been used in the treatment of acne for hundreds of years. We have received numerous anecdotal reports that NVUS Face and Eye Awareness creams are particularly effective in controlling mild to moderate acne.
We do not, however, recommend application of NVUS creams to open acne lesions. We also recommend applying NVUS creams to small test area after consulting your physician to see if they will help control your particular type of acne without any side effects.
15. Do NVUS Awareness creams contain toxic, carcinogenic or other nasty ingredients?
No! NVUS Products are always paraben-free, fragrance-free, gelatin-free, and denatured alcohol-free.
16. Do you offer free samples?
Free samples are often included in orders for full bottles, depending on sample availability. NVUS does not ship free samples to consumers without a purchase of a full bottle. But results are guaranteed so feel free to purchase a full bottle and try it for yourself.
17. What payment methods are accepted?
NVUS accepts Visa and Mastercard.
18. Do you ship to all countries?
We ship to most but not all countries. If you are not sure whether we ship to your country, please email us at info@nvus.com
19. How much does shipping cost?
We charge a flat rate of $10 USD to any of the countries we ship to.
20. Do you offer an automatic replenishment or auto-shipping option?
We do not offer an automatic replenishment/auto-shipping option at this time. NVUS Awareness creams are so effective that clients rarely forget to re-order.
21. Does NVUS engage in testing on animals?
NVUS is vehemently opposed to animal testing and does not test on animals whatsoever.
