Nerium Optimera Review
Optimera is an anti-aging skin cream produced by multilevel marketing company Nerium International. Find out how Optimera works – and whether or not it’s worth the price – today in our review.
What is Optimera?
Optimera is a new anti-aging skin cream introduced by Nerium International in 2014.
The anti-aging skin cream comes in two varieties: Optimera Night and Optimera Day. You wear one cream during the day to moisturize your skin and protect it from harmful UV radiation. Then, you wear the second cream during the night to heal your skin as you sleep.
In a blog post announcing Optimera last year, the Optimera product development team said the following:
“Our Product Development Team has been working for over two years on building cutting-edge, anti-aging products that meet a wide array of international regulatory requirements. We are very excited to announce that our product development team has created a new line of breakthrough, propriety anti-aging skincare products.”
How Does Optimera Work?
Optimera relies on a unique ingredient called SAL-14 extract. That ingredient is patent-pending and uses “cutting edge plant cell duplication technology” to deliver a “powerful protein blend” into your skin.
That ingredient hasn’t been studied by any major independent organizations. However, Nerium says that in clinical testing, 93% of participants experienced an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles while 97% had an improvement in the “radiance” of their skin.
In addition to the new ingredient called SAL-14, Optimera relies on a patented Nerium ingredient called SIG-1273. That ingredient can be found in other Nerium products.
Ultimately, you’re supposed to leave Optimera on for 24 hours a day, every day of your life: you wear the day cream during the day and the night cream on at night, leaving your face totally protected all day long.

How to Buy Optimera
You can buy Optimera from your local Nerium retailer. Or, if you don’t know a distributor or retailer, then you can also buy the skin cream online from Nerium.com/products, where you’ll find Optimera sold at the following prices:
— Night & Day Combo Pack: $188 ($138 auto delivery order price)
— Age-Defying Night Cream: $125 ($92 auto delivery)
— Age-Defying Night Cream (2-Pack): $235 ($172 auto delivery)
Oddly enough, you can’t buy the day cream by itself: you can only buy the night cream.
The auto delivery order price is the price you pay if you choose to receive automatic monthly shipments of that supplement. You receive a significant discount, although you receive new orders of Optimera every month until you cancel.
Nerium offers a 30 day money back guarantee to all its customers. You must return the product in its original packaging with the original invoice to Nerium within 30 days of your purchase, and you’ll receive a refund of the purchase price.
Cancelling your Nerium monthly autoship subscription is surprisingly difficult. The company makes you submit a written notice at least five business days before your next scheduled processing date.
Some orders, however, can be cancelled by email ([email protected]) or fax (214-390-9988). Nerium claims you can cancel Auto-Delivery Orders and Monthly Subscriptions over email or fax, although Monthly Auto-Delivery Orders and Monthly Subscriptions for the Advanced Business Center must be cancelled by written notice.
How to Use Nerium Optimera
— Optimera Day Cream: Use every morning. Rinse your face, then apply four to five pumps of cream to the face and neck area. Women can apply makeup immediately afterward. Men can apply the cream after shaving or cleansing their face.
— Optimera Night Cream: Use every night. Cleanse your face thoroughly, then apply four to five pumps of cream onto your damp face. The product sets like a mask, so you should feel some tightening as the cream dries.
Conclusion: Who Should Use Optimera?
Optimera is targeted towards men and women who want to reduce the effects of aging on their skin. If you’re looking for an effective daily moisturizer and wrinkle-fighting night mask, then Optimera’s Night and Day Cream lineup may be the product that’s right for you.
Yes I have been a customer for only 4 months with Optimera. I am loving my newer, younger skin. I have delayed my auto ship online. It is very easy to do, so not sure why others had issues.
My brand partner also let me try a sample for a week before even buying it.
Guess there will always be complainers in the world, truly sad.
Try it for yourself!
Nerium/Optimera is AWEFUL. Causes sores all over body that won’t go away for over a month. Customer service is a joke and so were the two reps I dealt with. Flat out called my a liar and told me to keep using it, so I did for a month. It got worse. No refund of over $1,000.
Oy…sweetheart, next time please don’t sink $1000 into a product you haven’t yet tried. :( Always always always check to see if samples are available WITHOUT having to give CC info. JMA. Mel at eyecreamadvisor
I am a Canadian Brand Partner and some of the information is off and not true…..like the fact of cancelling your auto ship is a problem….the customer service at Nerium International is top notch. This article should be rewritten or taken down. And the fact you are saying you wear the day cream to protect your skin from the sun is a lye. It’s just a moisturizer No SPF. Get the fact right before you write a article.
Products are absolutely amazing!! Customer service is great!

I absolutely love this cream.. And haven’t had any problems with customer service. You get results.. Great product.
Sig-1273 is a patented ingredient from Signum labs based at Princeton University. It is only in Optimera, our International product. NAE8 extract is out patented ingredient in our Nerium AD night and Day cream that is available in the United States.
I have been a Brand Partner with Nerium for almost two years and have never had a problem with customer support or service. Always helpful. Easy to talk to. Plus I help my customers when they need support.
