We use exclusive, patented ingredients with proven antioxidants, peptides, plant extracts and vitamins to craft products that target multiple signs of aging. It’s a customized approach that allows us to develop products that go beyond addressing the signs of aging to also target the underlying causes.

FORMULATIONSThe key to our formulas is based on the use of ingredients originally developed in the biotechnology field that have been adapted for the anti-aging industry.

THE NERIUM SKINCARE FORMULA DIFFERENCE Each of Nerium’s age-defying skincare products: 1. Addresses both the signs of aging as well as the underlying causes,

providing effective short- and long-term results. 2. Contains powerful antioxidants. 3. Works to address multiple signs of aging with one product.

NAE-8® (NERIUMAD® FORMULA) Years of biotechnology research led to this accidental discovery. Researchers discovered that the unique properties of the nerium oleander plant provided remarkable, age-defying results when applied topically to the skin. The patented NAE-8 extract, derived from the nerium oleander and aloe vera plants, acts as a powerful antioxidant and boosts the cell renewal process to reveal younger-looking skin.

EHT® (MIND ENHANCEMENT ™ FORMULA) After twenty years of research, Princeton University Professor Dr. Jeffry Stock discovered a unique coffee extract. This discovery led to the development of EHT Age-Defying Supplement, Mind Enhancement Formula.

SIG-1191™ Developed by Princeton University Professor Dr. Jeffry Stock, SIG-1191 is a patent-pending, exclusive ingredient that works as a super antioxidant and skin hydrator.

SIG-1273® (OPTIMERA™ FORMULA)* Twenty years of research by Princeton University Professor Dr. Jeffry Stock led to the creation of a remarkable age-defying molecule. This progressive molecule was perfected after 1,272 versions and patented as the advanced, age-fighting ingredient SIG-1273.

The basis of SIG-1273 comes from the observation of naturally occurring compounds. It includes an organic phytol compound that acts as a super antioxidant and skin protectant, which actually mimics and boosts the skin’s natural age-fighting mechanism.

FAQ Q: HAVE NERIUM’S SKINCARE PRODUCTS BEEN TESTED

FOR ALLERGIC REACTIONS? A: Yes. The products have undergone rigorous, industry-standard

dermatological safety testing to assess the potential for irritation and allergy. This ensures the vast majority of users will not experience an allergic response.

Q: ARE NERIUM PRODUCTS SAFETY TESTED? A: Nerium products have undergone extensive safety testing. Testing

has been performed at accredited laboratories, following Good Laboratory Practices and industry-recognized protocols. The products are safe to use.

Q: ARE THERE OCCASIONAL DIFFERENCES IN NERIUM PRODUCTS?

A: Our products are formulated with several proprietary compounds sourced from natural plants. Even though standard extraction protocols are followed, plant extracts may exhibit slight differences throughout the year depending on the environment and time in which the actual plants are harvested. These slight differences in appearance have no impact in any way on the safety, quality or efficacy of the product.

Q: IS NERIUM NIGHT CREAM CONSIDERED A MOISTURIZER?

A: No. Our Night Cream was not specifically designed to moisturize, although there are certain ingredients in the formula that can help hydrate the skin. Our Day Cream, however, is a very effective moisturizer.

Q: CAN NERIUM PRODUCTS BE USED WITH OTHER SKINCARE PRODUCTS?

A: Yes, there should be no impact on efficacy. As a general recommendation, you may want to test a small area of skin with both products before applying them on a larger area to see if there is any reaction to the combination.

Q: CAN NERIUM PRODUCTS BE USED ON PROBLEM SKIN?

A: Nerium products are cosmetics and are not designed to treat, cure or heal medical skin conditions. If you have a skin condition and would like to try the product, first test on a small area to ensure there is no reaction and that the product is compatible with your skin.

Q: SHOULD I CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF NERIUM PRODUCTS I USE FOR DIFFERENT SEASONS OR TEMPERATURES?

A: External environmental changes can play a major role in impacting the condition of the skin. As the climate changes from winter to summer, your skin may become very dry or sunburned, requiring different amounts of Nerium products to be used to compensate for some of these transitional, more sensitive and reactive skin states.

Q: DOES NERIUM WORK ON ALL SKIN TYPES? A: Nerium products are designed to work with all skin types. However,

that does not eliminate the possibility that someone with highly reactive or sensitive skin may experience minor irritation. If you feel this may be the case for your skin, it’s best to test the product on a small area before applying it to a larger area.

Q: HOW DO I INTRODUCE NERIUM INTO MY DAILY ROUTINE?

A: Every time a new product is introduced to your daily routine, you may or may not encounter a temporary response. In some cases, your skin may need to gradually become accustomed or adapt to a product prior to long-term usage. We recommend allowing at least two to three weeks for your skin to acclimate. If you have a severe reaction, stop using any new products and seek medical advice.

Q: HOW SHOULD NERIUM PRODUCTS BE STORED? A: Due to the nature of the products, they can be impacted by

extremely hot or cold temperatures (for example: being left in the trunk of a car). As a rule, follow the storage conditions stated on the package to preserve the product’s highest quality as established by Nerium. Keep bottles at room temperature as much as possible.

Q: DO NERIUM SKINCARE PRODUCTS HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE?

A: Currently there are no regulations or requirements in the United States to include expiration dates on cosmetic products. Nerium has established a two-year shelf life on our products; this time expectation is supported as long as the products are stored correctly. If you suspect the products have not been stored properly, please ensure the contents have not changed color, consistency or smell before applying or selling. If this is the case, do not apply or sell the products.

Q: IS EHT AGE-DEFYING SUPPLEMENT SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN TO USE?

A: As with any ingestible product, if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant and would like to try EHT, it’s best to consult your physician before use.

Q: HOW OLD DO YOU NEED TO BE TO TAKE EHT AGE-DEFYING SUPPLEMENT?

A: At least 18 years old. For ages 18 and under, please consult your physician before using.

Q: WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF EHT? A: EHT Age-Defying Supplement has a shelf life of two years.
