"I like the NuFACE Hydrating Aqua Gel, this is my favorite gel. It comes in this nice big box bottle and it's just very soothing to the skin. I do wash this off afterwards when I do the NuFACE routine. I get up, I wash my face, I pat it dry a little bit but I leave some water on the surface, I put the gel on my face and then I do my NuFACE routine, then I wash the gel off and then I go in with all my skincare."

"If you're getting a microcurrent device you also need a conducting gel with that. I always recommend picking up the NuFace gel primer in the Sephora sale. This product has been discontinued or kind of reformulated and relaunched, it's called their Hydrating Aqua Gel now. I checked out the ingredients and the ingredient list is very much the same, all the same main ingredients are still there. It conducts the microcurrent at the right frequency so that you get the maximum benefit out of your microcurrent device."

"I always get the NuFace gel primer. I love this one. There's a bigger bottle with a pump dispenser that's the one that I always get. A bottle lasts me about six months. This is my favorite. It doesn't irritate my skin. It doesn't irritate my eyes. It is a little spendy, but for me it's worth it because it doesn't irritate my skin."

"This is probably my favorite NuFACE conduction gel and I'm like how is this so good. This is something that I loved on first impression and as I continued to use it I was like holy this is amazing. It's called the Hydrating Aqua Gel, it has hyaluronic acid and glacial water, but this works if you're dry, if you're oily, if you're mature, if you're young, you name it. What's great about it is that it literally is that microcurrent gel texture that we're looking for, but you can leave it on the skin after you're done and just pat it in and it actually provides hydration without grease throughout the day. I absolutely love this. It works so well and it doesn't get gummy on the skin, doesn't gum up, but it doesn't just disappear. It stays for long enough for you to do your treatment and then it absorbs into the skin and gives you that benefit all day long. This is such a good one and it actually conducts really well. It works like it actually conducts the electricity. At the end of the day that's what we want it to do. If we don't conduct the electricity it's not going to work."

"This is a Hydrating Aqua Gel that yes goes with your microcurrent as a conductor as an activator, but it actually has good skincare ingredients. This is one of the best products from NuFace. Even if you aren't using it with one of the microcurrent devices, you can literally use this just to hydrate your skin. This is excellent if you need that hydration, but you need it to be locked in."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
