What the product description says
“Hydrating”
Source: Bluemercury

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, glycerin.

When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, palmitoyl heptapeptide-18, palmitoyl hexapeptide-52

Palmitoyl hexapeptide-52HeroEffect: HighA type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles~1.9–2.3%

AdenosineKey activeEffect: MediumMight help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)~0.9–1.1%

What the product description says
“A powerful Microcurrent Skincare duo that instantly targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, lips, and forehead within 3 minutes.”
Source: Bluemercury

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, palmitoyl heptapeptide-18, palmitoyl hexapeptide-52.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Product summary

"NuFace - Fix™ Line Smoothing Device" is effective for: Moisturizing

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Peptides (palmitoyl hexapeptide-52 2.30% - 2.80%, palmitoyl heptapeptide-18 1.90% - 2.30% and n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 1.60% - 2.00%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • Humectants (tremella fuciformis sporocarp extract 0.70% - 1.05%, glycerin 3.90% - 4.70%, betaine 0.95% - 1.15% and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 1.20% - 1.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

The product retails for 39.99$ in the United States and from 75.00£ up to 181.99£ in the United Kingdom.
