Age-Defying Moisturizer

Retinol and Peptides. Gentle and Effective. Finally.

Most anti-aging moisturizers either hydrate without delivering real results, or use actives so harsh they damage your skin barrier. This one does both—and it's designed specifically for skin that needs powerful anti-aging benefits without the irritation.

NURIO Anti-Aging Moisturizer combines retinol for skin renewal, two peptides for visible firming and smoothing, and ceramides for barrier protection—a rare trifecta that addresses fine lines, firmness, texture, and hydration in one gentle, nourishing formula.

How It Works:

This isn't a one-trick anti-aging product. It's a comprehensive moisturizer built around three clinically-recognized ingredient classes working together:

• Retinol — Supports the skin's natural renewal process, helping to visibly improve texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and restore radiance. This is retinol in a moisturizing base, making it gentler than typical retinol serums while still delivering results.
• Peptide Complex (SNAP-8 + Tripeptide-29) — SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is known for supporting the appearance of smoother, firmer-looking skin and reducing the visibility of expression lines. Tripeptide-29 helps improve the look of skin elasticity and firmness. Together, they work to make skin appear tighter, more toned, and visibly lifted.
• Ceramide NP — Strengthens the skin's moisture barrier, which is critical for mature skin that's often compromised by age, harsh products, or environmental stress. Ceramides lock in hydration, improve softness, and create the foundation for healthy, resilient-looking skin.

Supporting Ingredients:

• Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Glycerin — Deep, nourishing hydration that leaves skin feeling soft and supple
• Milk Lipids & Phospholipids — Support the skin's natural moisture balance for long-lasting comfort
• Vitamin E (d-alpha-Tocopherol) — Antioxidant support for skin vitality and protection

What It Does:

• Visibly smooths fine lines and refines texture
• Improves the appearance of firmness and elasticity
• Supports skin's natural renewal for a more radiant complexion
• Deeply hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy
• Strengthens moisture barrier for healthier, more resilient skin
• Reduces the visibility of expression lines (forehead, eyes, mouth)
• Creates smoother, softer, more youthful-looking skin

Who It's For:

Women with mature skin (40+) who want real anti-aging results without compromising their skin barrier. Those with early aging concerns (fine lines, dullness, loss of firmness) who want preventative care. Anyone who's tried retinol before and experienced irritation—this gentler formulation delivers benefits without the harshness.

If your skin is dry, textured, or dull-looking and you want a moisturizer that actually addresses aging instead of just hydrating, this is it.

What You'll Notice:

Skin feels deeply moisturized and softer immediately. Within 2–3 weeks, texture becomes noticeably smoother and radiance improves. By 4–6 weeks, fine lines appear softer, skin looks firmer, and the overall tone is more even and youthful. With continued use, the cumulative benefits of retinol and peptides create visibly transformed skin—smoother, tighter, and more radiant.

How to Use:

Apply to clean skin every evening. Start with 3–4 times per week if you're new to retinol, then increase to nightly as your skin adjusts. A pea-sized amount covers face and neck. Follow with sunscreen during the day (retinol can increase sun sensitivity).

Can be used alone or layered over a serum. If using other actives (like vitamin C in the morning or additional retinol products), space them appropriately to avoid irritation.

What Makes This Different:

Most retinol products are harsh serums that peel your skin. Most anti-aging moisturizers skip the actives entirely and just… moisturize. This formula bridges the gap: retinol for renewal, peptides for firming, ceramides for protection—all in one gentle, effective moisturizer.

No fragrance overload. No irritating essential oils. No cheap fillers. Just clinically-recognized actives in a nourishing base that respects your skin barrier while delivering real anti-aging benefits.

This is anti-aging moisture done right.

WEEK 1-2: DEEP HYDRATION & BARRIER SUPPORT

Your skin receives immediate nourishment from shea butter, meadowfoam oil, and glycerin. Ceramides begin strengthening your moisture barrier, improving softness and comfort. Skin feels deeply hydrated and looks plumper. If you're new to retinol, you may experience slight adjustment (mild flaking or sensitivity)—this is normal and temporary as your skin adapts.

WEEK 2-3: TEXTURE REFINEMENT BEGINS

Retinol starts supporting your skin's renewal process, gently encouraging surface cell turnover. Texture becomes noticeably smoother and more refined. Rough patches soften. Your complexion begins to look fresher and more even-toned. Any initial retinol adjustment typically subsides during this phase.

WEEK 3-4: RADIANCE RESTORATION

Skin renewal accelerates. Dullness fades as retinol helps reveal brighter, more radiant-looking skin beneath the surface. Peptides begin their firming work—you may start to notice your skin looks slightly more toned, especially around areas prone to expression lines (forehead, around eyes and mouth). The overall appearance is healthier and more vibrant.

WEEK 4-6: VISIBLE SMOOTHING & FIRMING

This is when most users see clear improvement. Fine lines appear visibly softer, particularly dryness lines and early expression lines. Skin looks firmer and more elastic thanks to the cumulative effect of both peptides working together. Texture is significantly smoother. Your skin has that "glowing from within" radiance that comes from consistent renewal and deep hydration.

WEEK 6-8: ENHANCED FIRMNESS & TONE

Retinol's cumulative benefits become evident—skin texture is refined, the appearance of fine lines continues to improve, and your overall complexion looks more youthful. SNAP-8 peptide's smoothing effect reaches its peak, reducing the visibility of expression lines. Tripeptide-29 supports the look of improved elasticity—skin appears tighter and more resilient. The moisture barrier is fully strengthened, so skin stays comfortable and hydrated all day.

WEEK 8-12: FULL TRANSFORMATION

Your skin has gone through multiple renewal cycles with retinol support. Fine lines are noticeably softer. Skin looks visibly firmer, smoother, and more lifted. Radiance is restored. Texture is refined and even. The combination of retinol renewal, peptide firming, and ceramide barrier support has created genuinely transformed skin—the kind of improvement that makes people ask what you're doing differently.

ONGOING USE: MAINTAINED & IMPROVED RESULTS

Anti-aging benefits are cumulative. Continue using nightly to maintain results and support ongoing skin renewal. The longer you use retinol and peptides consistently, the better your skin looks. Many users notice continued improvement even after 12 weeks as the skin's appearance continues to refine and firm.

Important Notes:

• Retinol adjustment is normal. If you experience mild flaking or sensitivity in the first 1-2 weeks, reduce frequency to every other night until skin adapts, then gradually increase.
• Always use sunscreen during the day. Retinol can increase sun sensitivity.
• Results are cumulative. Consistency is key—nightly use delivers the best outcomes.
• Pair with other NURIO products for comprehensive anti-aging support (like our Deep Multi-Layer Hydration Serum for extra moisture).

Q: How long until I see results?

You'll notice immediate hydration and softer skin. Within 2–3 weeks, texture becomes smoother and radiance improves. By 4–6 weeks, fine lines appear softer and skin looks visibly firmer. Full anti-aging benefits (cumulative retinol renewal, peptide firming, improved elasticity) show around 8–12 weeks with consistent nightly use.

Q: Will this irritate my skin like other retinol products?

This formula is gentler than typical retinol serums because it's in a nourishing moisturizer base with barrier-supporting ceramides. However, some initial adjustment is normal—you may experience mild flaking or sensitivity in the first 1–2 weeks. If this happens, reduce to every other night until your skin adapts, then gradually increase to nightly use.

Q: Can I use this if I've never used retinol before?

Yes. Start with 3–4 nights per week for the first two weeks to let your skin adjust, then increase to nightly use. Your skin needs time to adapt to retinol's renewal process. Always use sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.

Q: Do I need to use sunscreen with this product?

Absolutely. Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to UV damage, so daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential. This isn't optional—it's critical for both safety and maintaining results.

Q: Can I use this during the day or only at night?

Night only. Retinol breaks down in sunlight and works best during your skin's natural nighttime renewal process. Apply it as your final evening step after serums but before bed.

Q: Can I use this with other active ingredients like vitamin C or acids?

Yes, but with proper spacing. Use vitamin C in the morning and this moisturizer at night. If you're using exfoliating acids (AHAs, BHAs), alternate nights or use acids in the morning. Layering too many actives at once can cause irritation. Start conservatively and see how your skin responds.

Q: What's the difference between this and a retinol serum?

Retinol serums are typically more concentrated and harsher, often causing significant peeling and irritation. This is retinol in a moisturizing base with peptides and ceramides—it delivers anti-aging benefits while nourishing and protecting your barrier. It's gentler but still effective, making it ideal for mature or sensitive skin.

Q: Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?

Most people with sensitive skin tolerate this well because of the ceramides and nourishing base. However, if your skin is extremely reactive, start slowly (2–3 nights per week) and monitor how it responds. If irritation persists beyond the initial adjustment period, it may be too strong for your skin.

Q: What do the peptides do?

SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) helps reduce the visibility of expression lines by supporting smoother, firmer-looking skin. Tripeptide-29 supports the appearance of improved elasticity and firmness. Together, they create a tighter, more toned look that complements retinol's texture-refining benefits.

Q: Can I use this around my eyes?

Yes, but carefully. The skin around your eyes is delicate, so if you're new to retinol, avoid the immediate eye area for the first few weeks. Once your skin adjusts, you can gently apply a small amount to the orbital bone area (not directly on the eyelid). If irritation occurs, keep it to face and neck only.

Q: Do I still need a separate moisturizer?

No. This is a full moisturizer with anti-aging actives built in. It provides deep hydration from shea butter, meadowfoam oil, and glycerin, plus barrier support from ceramides. If your skin is extremely dry, you can layer a hyaluronic acid serum underneath, but this product alone is sufficient for most people.

Q: Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Retinol is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your healthcare provider before using any retinol-containing products during this time.

Q: Will this work on deep wrinkles?

This moisturizer is most effective on fine lines, texture, early-to-moderate expression lines, and overall firmness. It won't eliminate deep, set-in wrinkles (those typically require professional treatments), but it will visibly improve skin texture, tone, and the appearance of surface lines. It's realistic anti-aging, not magic.

Q: Can I use this with the NURIO Firming & Hydration Cream?

You could, but it's not necessary—both are full moisturizers with overlapping benefits. If you want targeted firming for specific areas (like jawline or under-eyes), you could use the Firming Cream on those spots and this moisturizer on the rest of your face. But for most people, choose one based on your primary concern: retinol renewal (this) vs. DMAE firming (Firming Cream).

Q: How much should I use?

A pea-sized amount for your face, slightly more if applying to neck and décolletage. A little goes a long way—using too much won't speed up results and may increase irritation risk.

Q: What if I experience peeling or redness?

Mild flaking in the first 1–2 weeks is normal as your skin adjusts to retinol. Reduce frequency to every 2–3 nights, ensure you're moisturizing well, and avoid other harsh actives temporarily. If severe redness, burning, or persistent irritation occurs, stop use and consult a dermatologist.

Q: Can men use this?

Yes. Anti-aging, texture refinement, and firmness aren't gender-specific. This works for anyone wanting smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Q: How long does one jar last?

Approximately 2–3 months with nightly use on face and neck.

Q: Is this product fragrance-free?

No, it contains a light fragrance. If you're highly sensitive to fragrance, test a small amount first or choose a fragrance-free alternative from our line.
