Nanoblur claims you’ll look up to 10 years younger: Let’s see how it fares!

September 17, 2014 Paris B 11 Comments

Alright, I’m conflicted. On the one hand, here is a product touting to make me look up to 10 years younger in 40 seconds and yet, my innate sense of of scepticism rears its ugly head with that raised eyebrow going “Really?!” I know, 10 years. That’s a heck lot of time to turn back (although personally, I’m not one for turning back time unless it’s to undo mistakes and boy, are there some I’d like to undo!)

The product is Nanoblur by Indeed Labs, the people who brought us Hydraluron. What this is, is a product that purports to be based on optics technology and it’s not sold as a makeup, so it’s NOT a primer. I know, then what is it?

Well, it’s a product that you apply on skin to correct the appearance of skin aging, lines, wrinkles, pores and it does this all within seconds. 40 seconds to be exact. Sounds like a primer? Yeah, I thought so too. I’ve held on to this for over 2 months now, trying to get my head around it, but I’m afraid to say, quite failing to see how it fits into my routine.

The thing is this. It works as it claims – to a degree.

If you have problems with lines or wrinkles and you want to just lessen the appearance of them then Nanoblur does the job. When you apply it on the lines, it almost magically blurs and looks significantly softer and less visible. Let me show you using the lines on the back of my hand.

I tested this on the back of my wrist where you can quite clearly see the lines with nothing applied on the skin. A dab of Nanoblur applied, give it a few seconds, and can you see the lightened effect? Fine lines are smoothened while deeper lines are lightened. It’s pretty impressive, and if you can imagine this on your face, yes, it does lift the years off.

But for enlarged pores, I didn’t find it as effective and as my face has less of a problem with lines than it does with pores, here is how it looks. I tested this on bare skin not over makeup, which I’ll talk about in a bit.

  • Save

(1) Bare skin, some enlarged bores and shine on cheeks (2) Nanoblur applied on cheek area mattifies the skin a little and pores doesn’t look as noticeable but are still there (3) Pressed powder applied over Nanoblur

When you use liquid foundation, Nanoblur says you should apply it OVER your liquid foundation where you need it. So don’t apply it all over your face unless you want to but you can tap it in on areas where you need it or see lines. This is important to note because if you wear it UNDER liquid foundation, it sucks. Boy, does it suck! I tried it and bleh! Wanted to scrub off my makeup immediately.

When wearing powder foundation you can apply Nanoblur first and then apply powder foundation on top. This is especially if you notice that powder foundation settles into lines on your skin. Nanoblur gives you that base you need so it doesn’t. When I do use Nanoblur, I use it on bare skin, and then apply some pressed powder (I use the RMK Pressed Powder N) over. The powder is translucent but it evens out my skintone well, as you can see above. It goes without saying therefore that if I do use it, I use this only on weekends when I don’t really want to put a base on, but want to just have better looking, more evened out skin.

But I’m not a fan of Nanoblur. For me, it’s an additional step and an additional product that I don’t particularly see much use for. I might change my mind in about 5-10 years when the lines kick in but for now, I’m not sold on it. I personally think it benefits those who do have a problem with lines – laugh lines, crows feet, forehead lines – and want something that can soften the appearance of those lines visually. But if it’s not something that bugs you then this isn’t something you’d need.

IN A NUTSHELL

Nanoblur is a product that visually reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles on skin very quickly so skin looks fresher and younger. It works over or under makeup depending on the type of makeup you use, and it does work as it says on the tin for lines. Lines are almost immediately softened and in the case of fine lines, almost seem to disappear. It also reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, but not as impressively as it does lines. I think it’s a good product for anyone who fits their target market, but it isn’t one for me. I’m kind of lazy and kind of unfussed about having lines or imperfections 😛

Pros: Affordable, Softens fine lines and wrinkles almost immediately as it claims, A little goes a long way

Cons: A bit of a learning curve (pat it on skin, don’t spread)

Who will like this: Anyone who wants to soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles on skin with or without wearing makeup

Here is the ingredient list for Nanoblur which as you can expect contains silicones so if you are sensitive to silicone, please stay far away!

Have you tried Nanoblur and did you like it?

I think it’s great it exists, because I can imagine that it fills a niche that not many brands have thought to explore, since this is marketed not as makeup but as skincare. Tine and Shashay like it, for example. But for me personally, I’m not sold. I guess I’m just lazy 😛

    I’m already blessed with looking 10 years younger, maybe it’s my genetic so if I use this, I might start to look early teen LOL But I could use something to actually fix my medium-size pores instead of a temporary fix.

      LOL! You are truly blessed with good genes, Fathin! 😀 I hear ya about pores – such tricky things with no true fix except possibly laser I think. Oh well, I’m just living with them. Fewer people notice them than we think 😉

        I never had enlarged pores until laser on my nose (for scarring & rosacea). Although helped with the scarring, laser treatment MADE my pores look larger. The appearance now resembles large blackheads.

    Yup sounds like a primer / line filler aka silicones for sure. I like the idea of it, but when it comes to application, like you, I feel like it’s an additional step. Nothing I really need, but maybe for special occasions, I’d apply primer so makeup stays flawless longer 🙂

      I’ve read of people who found it was useful to wear on its own if they didn’t want to wear makeup, but then I didn’t quite see the point (nor did I see a lot of improvement) Generally, if I bothered enough to slap something on my face, it’d be makeup LOL!

    I have a small sample of this for more than 6 months as it was a free gift which came when I purchased 2 tubes of Hydraluron from Muse. Like you, I could not quite figure out how to use it, so I just left it in a box. After this review, I might just attempt to use it. LOL. Do you think its ok if I used this before I apply my Meteorites?

      September 21, 2014 at 3:31 pm

      Yep! It’ll work under Meteorites. Just not under any liquid makeup because it just felt awful. Remember to pat it on only where you need it and you might like it as giving skin a bit of a boost. I’m not sold but there’s no reason why no one else should be! 🙂

    So… it does everything a primer does… but it’s not a primer. You’re right, I’m confused. And also pat it in, and rub? I’ll definitely screw up my application.
    I mean, it’s affordable at least, which is nice. But with what it advertises, seems exactly like a lot other products out there.
    I would be interested in testing it out in stores if they had it available.

      Haha yes it is rather confusing and while I think Indeed Labs does make some interesting and effective products, I’m not sure where this really fits in the big scheme of things. But then, I’ve come across people who do love it so maybe there is a niche it fills, just not mine? Do take a gander if you come across it. It’s interesting especially when you see the magic happen on the back of your hand!

    Got it months ago and personally hated it. I tried it under foundation at first and like you, my reaction was blahh… the consistency.. I find doesn’t spread too well (or maybe my face is large) and its umm.. the texture is quite (read: very) tacky (sticky) afterwards which makes applying anything such a hassle!

      Yeah, the texture under foundation made me want to wash my face! Yuck 😛 I found it’s not quite meant to spread per se, just dabbed on areas where you need it so it isn’t like a primer you’d apply all over your face either. I don’t know, I’m just not sold on the idea 😛

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
