Christina Nuance Line — comprehensive mature skin care
NUANCE
Premium anti-aging line with a 9-step in-office protocol combining peptides, glyco-mineral peel, stabilized retinol, Italian everlasting (immortelle), and pro-collagen — precise anti-wrinkle action for mature skin.
For: mature skin 40+ with deep wrinkles, loss of density, photoaging. Problem: decreased firmness, wrinkle map, hyperpigmentation, epidermal thinning. Distinguishing feature: glyco-mineral peel + immortelle + pro-collagen + 9 steps of precision. Ideal salon: client 45+, salon with a strong anti-aging specialization, cosmetologist who values technical sequence.
The Philosophy of the NUANCE Line
NUANCE is an anti-aging line for mature clients, combining classic peptide actives with a biotechnological approach to regeneration. Philosophy: precision of sequence + layering of actives = lasting improvement in skin condition.
At the heart of the line is a two-step glyco-mineral peel (liquid + peeling mask) — a unique exfoliation technique that combines the effect of mechanical microcrystals with active AHA. The cosmetologist then layers grape dew booster, eyes up booster, pro-collagen, and brightening cream.
The second pillar is Italian everlasting (Immortelle) extract — a powerful antioxidant protecting cells from aging.
Glyco-Mineral Peel
Liquid + peeling mask — two-step exfoliation for mature, demanding skin.
Immortelle (Everlasting)
Phenolic antioxidant protecting cells — the core active in Absolute Immortelle serum.
Peptides + Pro-Collagen
Signal fibroblasts to synthesize type I collagen — rebuild density.
Stabilized Retinoids
Encapsulated retinol (Absolute Immortelle serum) — smoothing without irritation.
Who the NUANCE Line Is For

Most frequently asked questions by cosmetologists
Can NUANCE be combined with MUSE?
Yes – for home care, NUANCE Eyes Up Booster + MUSE Restoring Eye Cream, or NUANCE Pro Collagen Vitality + MUSE Bio Tight Serum can be combined. In the salon, we choose one line for a cycle of 4–6 treatments.
Is Absolute Immortelle retinol safe for vascular skin?
Stabilized retinol in encapsulated form is well tolerated, but in the active phase of vascular rosacea, it is better to start with bakuchiol (LINE REPAIR Nutrient) or exosomes (MUSE).
How often should Glyco Mineral Peel be used?
In-salon: 1× every 14–21 days for a cycle of 4–6 treatments. At home: never – this is a professional peel. A home alternative is the 10% AHA+PHA Peel Mask (twice a week).
When are the effects of the treatment visible?
Immediately (24 h): radiance, tightness, smoothness. Structural (4–6 weeks): wrinkle reduction, density, complexion. Full effect after a cycle of 4–6 treatments + NUANCE home care.
Is NUANCE suitable for a client with hormonal acne?
Yes, if the acne is in a stable phase. Glyco Mineral Peel helps to clear blackheads and smooth post-acne scars. In the active phase of acne, BIO PHYTO should be used first.
Can I skip the Eyes Up Booster Mask?
Yes – this is an optional step for clients not expecting an under-eye effect. Shorten the protocol to 8 steps. Alternatively, offer a longer individual eye treatment.
How to introduce Pro Collagen Vitality Cream into your home routine?
Apply at night, after Absolute Immortelle (retinol) serum – pro-collagen supports regeneration after retinol. For very mature skin, we recommend Pro Collagen Radiance Cream for daytime use.
