I am always thrilled to try out beauty products. The older I get the more little “quirks” with my face I begin to notice, like sags under my eyes and “crows feet”. When did that happen? It seemed like they appeared overnight.
I’m not going to fight getting older, per say. What I mean is I’m not going to rush out and get plastic surgery done, a face lift or injections. I will however do the best I can to grow old “gracefully”. I’m 45. I don’t want to look 55 (some day I think I do look that old). I’m not trying to look 25 either. I’d be happy shaving 10 years off my age with my appearance, if possible.
I was sent to review a bottle of Nerium AD Age Defying Treatment.
As per the company…
Some of the greatest breakthroughs in skincare are discovered by accident. I’d like to introduce you to NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment, the first and only product on the market to utilize the Nerium oleander plant extract.
NeriumAD is a night cream that harnesses the patent-pending NAE-8 extract from the Nerium oleander plant. This extract, in conjunction with other synergistic, age-defying ingredients, is responsible for dramatic results.
Formulated after more than 10 years of scientific research and clinical testing by scientists and medical professionals, including a third party research firm, NeriumAD is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of multiple skincare concerns at once, including fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, enlarged pores and uneven skin texture.
On their website there are plenty of before and after photos that show some pretty amazing results. I knew I had to try it for myself.
Here are a few of the before/after photos from their website.
They look impressive, especially the lady pictured above with the saggy neck and odd wrinkles on her chest.
I wanted to “plump” up the wrinkles and sags on my face, as well as my sagging neck (my neck is one of the things I hate most about my face). I was also hoping that maybe the product would help ease up the deep “laugh lines” around my mouth.
I’ve been using the product for a little over a month now.
DON’T apply this to dry skin. You’ll never be able to properly distribute it around your face. The lotion is very thick and does not spread out easily . Your face has to be damp in order for you to spread it out.
It leaves your face with a tight, sticky feeling. It seems to take a long time to absorb into your skin. I didn’t mind so much since you are suppose to use this at night before going to bed. When you are sleeping it’s not a big deal, but if you have a restless night (like I have been having a lot of lately) the stickiness and tightness can be a bit annoying and uncomfortable.
You leave the product on all night then wash it off in the morning.
I made extra certain that my neck area was fully covered. That is the area I wanted to see the most improvement.
It’s been little over a month. To be honest, sometimes I think I see an improvement in my neck area. It’s still saggy but it doesn’t have as many wrinkles and creases in it as it did (or so it appears). However sometimes when I turn my head to the left I can see one area on my neck, close to my chin, about the size of a golf ball, that seems to change it’s appearance/texture. Then when I turn my head to the right, then straight again it’s gone. It’s the craziest thing!
I don’t know if the light in the bathroom has anything to do with it. The light comes from the window to the right (when looking at the mirror). It might just be how the light emphases the right side of my neck. Do you know what I mean? It’s just very weird.
As far as the sags and wrinkles on my face I don’t notice any difference. 🙁 They appear to be the same.
I tried to take pictures of my face. I cringe when I see them and I rather not post my ugly mug in a blog post. I also tried to get photos of the weird neck thing I mentioned but it was hard to get the shot because when I moved to grab my camera it would be gone.
I’m on the fence with this one. On my face I did not notice any difference (I used it on my face and neck). On my neck it appears to have made a small difference. I have been using it for about a month so maybe I need a little longer to see optimum results.

Wow what a remarkable transformation in the pictures, I would love to give this a try based on the evidence in the pictures. I am in my early thirty’s but unfortunately my genes play a role in my slight wrinkles I am starting, I need a product like this to help reduce what is starting.

I love the product! However, I was also uncertain about any progress. So it was suggested I take an “after” photo to compare side by side with my “before” one. Since I look at myself every day, I just didn’t think there had been any change. Compared the photos, and I was shocked at the difference! I’m 57 and people actually seemed shocked when they hear my age, thinking I’m much younger! 🙂 I really noticed a dramatic change on my hands that had begun to look like my great-grandmother’s! My under-sink and drawers are filled with a ton of products that just didn’t work! So nice to find something that actually does. I’m one of those who would buy from the drugstore when on sale with a coupon, so the price was quite a stretch for me. Now……I think it’s the best “deal” going, and would probably skip a meal or two, (or three!) to continue with this product!

I saw the progress on my sis-in-law’s face after only 7 days so I started using the product as well. I had a before and after picture taken after 10 days & was shocked and happy at the results. By the way, we’re both 57, and thankful for a Real product that gave us Real results.

Hi Kimberly,
I am a brand partner with Nerium International. Cmorgan is absolutely right. The pictures are very important. In fact we tell all our customers to please take a picture before applying Nerium AD. I can’t tell you how many customers say that they see a little difference and then when I ask them to take the after pictures they are completely shocked. This product really does work and it has all the science to back it and third-party clinicals. Nerium is a very healing product. One of the great things about this product is you can actually get it for free! I would be happy to send you additional information if you like. 🙂

I am a Cosmetologist (Hairdresser) for 20 plus yrs. also a PHD Helix Designer so I come in contact with a multitude of products. I rarely see one that does what it says! This Product However I am very impressed with! When I saw the results for myself I was totally shocked! I tried to post my pics but of course this section won’t let me. Just wanted you to see what I was talking about. You know when I first started I was seeing results then it quit, and I wasn’t getting anymore, not like my friends and husband. Then I realized I had started using a new day cream. When I looked at the ingredients of that cream I realized it was petroleum based. Of course! It had sealed my skin therefore it wasn’t absorbing! Once I stopped,the results were back on track. Yay! Needless to say I now use their day cream and I am super stoked with my results! Absolutely I became a brand partner!! Want to se my pics just email me. I will send them your way. daweon00@yahoo.com or you can just go get your product 🙂 http://www.divabrown.nerium.com
