Beauty devices are everywhere now, and most of the writing about them is indistinguishable from an advert. This page is about one of them — the ageLOC® LumiSpa® iO — and whether it is worth the money.
A note on what changed here: an earlier version of this page claimed dermatologist endorsement, described a "cellular motion science" that Nu Skin does not publish, called the head medical-grade, and said the device gets rid of fine lines. None of that came from Nu Skin. All of it has been removed.
What Nu Skin actually claims
"Two minutes, twice a day is all it takes for award-winning ageLOC® LumiSpa® iO to deliver a smoother complexion, seven clinically proven skin benefits, and smart IoT technology that helps you personalize your routine."
The seven benefits, as they list them: softness, smoothness, radiance, clarity, purified skin, reduced pore appearance and visibly improved firmness.
Their other printed lines, in full:
- "Instantly softer and smoother skin after one use"
- "Seven clinically proven beauty benefits that amplify over time"
- "Promotes dynamic skin renewal"
- "Proprietary Micropulse Oscillation technology"
- "Doesn't disrupt skin's natural microbiome balance"
- "gently yet thoroughly cleanses away dirt, oil, makeup, and toxins"
Note what is not there: no comparison with cleansing by hand, no multiplier, no number of weeks, and nothing about fine lines. Nu Skin's own beauty devices category makes no fine-line claim either.
The head is the part that differs
What touches your face is silicone rather than bristles. Nu Skin's description: "Gentle, nonabrasive silicone surfaces contains antimicrobial silver and is more hygienic than brushes commonly used with other devices." They also print that "a treatment head is designed to last for at least three months when used twice a day."
Three heads exist — Gentle, Normal and Firm — and choosing between them is the only real decision in the system. Our head guide goes through it.
Is it worth the money?
Here is the honest version of that question. The device is not cheap, and the treatment cleanser is an ongoing cost rather than an optional extra. Against that: two minutes twice a day is a routine most people can actually keep, and Nu Skin's benefits are written around consistent twice-daily use. A device used occasionally is not the product they studied.
So the real test is not whether the technology is impressive. It is whether you will pick it up twice a day for a year. If you know yourself well enough to answer that honestly, you have your answer.
Rose Gold or Blue
Same device, different finish, same price. Heads and accents are colour-matched, so pick the one you would rather look at. You choose the colour when you order the ageLOC LumiSpa iO.
