I still haven’t quite forgiven Nude Skincare for changing the formula of their facial oil.. now ProGenius. However, after months and months of being quiet, Nude is back with a bang. The range is based around omegas and their website, which I’ll list below, is really good at explaining why skin responds so well to them, so I’ll leave that bit to the experts. Suffice to say that the Overnight Repair Mask is a thing of wonder. I’ve used it over a few nights now, and, bearing in mind the central heating is well and truly on, have woken with properly hydrated skin that feels like silk. I’m definitely a convert for dry days, and actually fast-forwarding to too-much-sun days which I think it would be stellar at adding back the missing hydration.
One of the key components of the new formulas (omegas were very much a part of the ‘old’ Nude as well) is probiotic. I can’t really get my head around this as having any seriously tangible benefits – the omegas will do far more. I expect a million skin experts will disagree, but it’s just that probiotics don’t resonate with me – I don’t really care if skin care has probiotic as an ingredient or not.
Nude was founded by Bryan Meehan and Ali Hewson, and subsequently sold to LVMH. On the plus, it’s now got all the technology and funds needed to progress as a serious skin care brand, but on the minus, I rather liked it as an indi brand, of which we have too few. Nude Skincare is a lovely range – it will tick all the boxes of giving you seriously softer and better hydrated skin and if you have skin that responds well to oils, then the chances are that you will love ProGenius (£58). Overnight Repair doesn’t seem to have launched yet, but I’d definitely recommend it as a beauty cupboard must-have. The products are on a SpaceNK exclusive HERE.

Great post! I really like Nude.
I agree with you on the Probiotics ingredients…see here why in my latest post:

Never tried this brand myself, but the packaging is lovely. Really interested to give something a go at some point.
How does this mask compare to the Fresh honey mask?
A totally different thing.. it’s more of a rich night cream than a mask..there isn’t any fluidity to it. x
They SOLD to LVMH? That explains so much..
I’m with you on the probiotics front.
I recently wrote to another company to find out what independent scientific evidence they had to support their claims. Their whole brand is based on probiotics. However, I have not had an answer 🙂
In all seriousness, I have not found a single independent piece of scientific evidence that supports any of the claims made by these brands. The claims seem to stem from trials carried out by the ingredients manufacturers in vitro or ex vivo, but none has been taken further and published in a scientific journal.
That’s enough for me to know that it’s probably all marketing fairy dust!
heard alot about the nude cleansing oil but never gave it a try
