Ultra Renew Gel Serum

Hi Z, I am currently working on a new gel for use with ultrasound. The prototype is great - gives good slip, wipes off easily and leaves no sticky residue. Now that I have that part right, I am adding in some antioxidants. We should have it available by the end of the year.

This product sounded good so I got it, since it had been specially formulated for use with and everything. However, it leaves an incredibly sticky film all over your face. I simply cannot leave it on my skin and have to wait a while, then wipe it off and apply something less tacky. Not a good product. In addition, I am not sure, but I think it is clogging my pores. Please, try again!

I have a Truth Renew, with which I use this product. However, I think this makes a nice face mask by itself. My face feels so soft and smooth after using it. I have found it very gentle and non-irritating, providing the glide needed for use with the ultrasonic device. It does get sticky as it dries. Applying a little water "renews" it, but I always rinse before applying any other products.

Hi Shelli,
When using the device on ultrasonic mode, it is important to use a water-based gel or serum in order for the device to be conductive. When using just LED, it's not necessary to use a water-based gel or serum, but you should use LED alongside an antioxidant serum or oil.

I just received my device and I didn't understand that I needed the gel. My question is I can use just the lights without gel and it works effectively? Do I use the lights for 15 minutes the the the ultrasonic with gel for 15 minutes??

Hi Mariangeles, I just want to mention that while aloe vera gel is a good choice, the Ultra Renew Gel Serum is not full of chemicals. It contains 5% Your Best Face Control, an antioxidant complex. Some of the peptides, granted, have scary and chemical-sounding names but they are extremely beneficial. You can read more about the components of Control here: http://www.truthinaging.com/review/the-new-your-best-face-control-reviewed-and-recommended . Also if you are concerned about ingredients and what to understand more about them, you can try looking them up in our ingredients directory with over 1000 definitions: http://www.truthinaging.com/ingredients

WITH ALL THE CHEMICALS IN THE INGREDIENT LIST ILL DEFINITELY STAY AWAY FROM THIS AND STICK TO 100% ALOE VERA GEL WITH A LITTLE BIT OF GLYCERINE AND ROSE WATER..

I read some of the above reviews and I have to say that I happily use this product without any negative side effects....yes I do splash water on my skin if I am using my device for longer periods so that I can keep up the "slip"....but for me that just means that I have to use less product and I am fine with that. A little goes a long way with various light/setting usages and I have no problems with the final rinse off before I apply my post facial/device products. I like that it is water based and hydrating but it rinses easily. I have used other gels with other products and I appreciate that this product was devised so as not to contain unwanted ingredients. I also like that it is in a reasonably large tube, as with some of my other devices, the gel tubes have been painfully small in quantity.

well, i can't say that i really love this product. it is actually the one thing that makes me *not* want to use my ultrasonic/led device as much, and that is not good! i have wrinkles to plump up here and i don't need little nuisances standing in the way as i try to banish them from my face!! :) i have the "new and improved" version that is supposed to be less sticky and gooey, but i still find it to be a mess. i have to keep a spray bottle with me while i use my device and spritz several times during the 15 minute session or else the gel becomes too tacky to slide the device over my face. obviously that's not the end of the world, but i don't like to spritz so often... it just makes an even bigger mess, i don't enjoy the sensation and i find the clean-up of my face and the entire ultrasonic device to be a chore at the end. i will not re-order this. i am sure aloe vera will do an equally good for a lesser price and not be such a pain!! there are many other fantastic products on the site to spend my money on.

This is a good product with the Ultra Renew. It's sticky and tacky, so I don't really leave it on for too long after I'm finished with the wand. It smells delicious. I find myself needing to use much more than a pea-sized amount, but I still have a substantial amount left, so I guess it does go a long way. I spritz with a rose toner, as the gel has a tendency to dry out if you don't use water. All in all, I recommend it with the wand.

The product works with the Ultra Renew device. I found the gel to be thick with a residue left on my skin. I actually like using Aloe Vera Gel that I keep refrigerated that I drink. It stays on my skin and soaks in and feels very "alive" and pure.

I am 37 with sensitive skin. After 4 weeks of using this lotion, roughly every other day, it has definitely made the Ultra Renew LED device I purchased from Truth in Aging easier to use. It enables the device to glide more smoothly than with water or other serums I purchased because it is thicker and seems to 'stick' to the skin for the session. That said, it is a bit sticky, so I found that afterwards, a quick wipe with a water-soaked washcloth will make for a nice base for my daily cream/lotion. I really like it and found it to last a lot longer than the other lotion/serums I have bought for this device.

I have been using the Ultra Renew Gel Serum for nearly six weeks now with the fabulous Ultra Renew Ultrasonic/LED device. Unable to find an oil-free product that provided a decent “slip,” I ended up sticking with frequently misting my face with water. I applied the gel various ways to figure out what was most effective for me. If done in one application over the face and/or neck and decollete area, it partially dries and the slip is lost before even half of one session. (I applied what I felt was an ample amount without being so thick that it was a waste of the product.) Misting my face before applying the gel didn’t keep it from drying out, either. I tried applying it to several parts of my face with my fingers but I found this to be particularly messy. Still, I wanted to savor the great ingredients, so I tried misting slightly with water, gently massaging into my skin and then allowing to dry. Nope. I still couldn’t stand the tacky film on my face. Although I like how my skin looks and feels after the whole process, I doubt that I would purchase this gel in the future because of the extra steps involved. Maybe the formula could be tweaked a bit, so it doesn’t quickly lose its slip and become so tacky?

There’s a lot I really like about the Ultra Renew Gel Serum. First off, it’s a substantial size (I’ll be able to use this bottle for quite a long time) — in a single session, I’ll use about a teaspoon for my face and neck. Then, there’s the gel itself; it’s got a lovely texture and scent, much nicer than the aloe vera I was using before as a conducting agent. The gel is a little thicker than aloe vera and stays put wherever you apply it. The thick texture works very well with the Ultra Renew, providing conductivity and glide, but with just enough friction that the metal head of the device doesn’t slide around willy-nilly. The best thing about this product, though, is that it has 5% YBF Control. I’m in my late 40s, and I really appreciate the fact that this gel does double-duty, enabling the device while also providing my skin with some very effective active ingredients. After I use it, I briefly rinse with some warm water, and my skin is left feeling dewy, without the need for additional moisturizer. I’ve got naturally dry skin, and I live in the desert so I enjoy this particular after-effect of using the gel.

Thank you Marta for developing this great product to use with the Ultra Renew. It works perfectly, includes wonderful ingredients and has a great price. I'd pretty much stopped using the ultrasound feature for a while since I couldn't find anything to successfully use with it. So happy you've made this available to us!!!

I got this about a month ago………my first time trying any device like this. I have to say…….I do believe it is working! I think with time and consistent use I will see more and more clearer results but for right now my skin seems smooth and a bit more plump. Under my chin area was the main reason I got this……..I think I notice a very slight improvement with sagginess. I did get the gel serum from Truth in Aging with it and I sort of love/hate it. I have no doubt that it is chock full of beneficial ingredients but I have found that it gets sticky pretty quickly and I have to apply quite a bit over and over during my “sessions” to keep the slip. I wish it wasn’t so darn sticky! I have been just sleeping with it on my face after a session despite the stickiness and maybe that helps with my skin looking nice? Anyway, I would def repurchase at this point and plan on continuing using it and hopefully will see further improvement!

Ultra Renew Gel Serum works much better than the Aloe Gel I was previously using! MOST IMPORTANTLY it conducts the electrical currents better!!! I have a mouth full of fillings and I can feel the electrical currents affecting my fillings much more when I use the Ultra Renew Gel Serum. It’s not painful like I was chewing on aluminum foil but I can definitely tell the currents are hitting them. Thanks so much Marta & YBF for coming up with this gel to use with the Ultra Renew. I know the device works better when used with TIA’s gel!!! Have 3/4 of my tube left but I just purchased another tube cause I couldn’t pass up the 3 free YBF samples offer and the gel is good enough that I know I’d be buying a second anyways!

I wrote above how I was looking forward to this product. I have been using the Ultra Renew Gel Serum for a few weeks. I love the sweet candy smell. This serum stays where you place it. It is thick and the device slides easily over the area for the entire treatment time with no reapplication. I like applying a heavy drop or two directly on the metal head, then running the unit over the same area for treatment. I do my treatments in bed at night. Since I am only applying what I need, There is not much laying on my face and I simply rub it into my skin and down my neck before hitting the pillow. My skin is normal at age 48.

I've used this for a couple weeks now. Great glide, works perfectly for the job.

I do find that it dries out for me sooner than I want. At first I was just putting more gel on, but then got smart: I spray a small amount of water on my face to "re-wet" the gel and it works perfectly. I can "re-wet" the gel several times if necessary.

I experimented with leaving the gel on overnight, but didn't really experience a benefit, so washed it off and put on a night cream blended with YBF Antioxidents. Really pleased with how my face looks in the morning.

I tried this for the first time last night. I like doing my treatments in bed before sleeping. I love the fragrance, it makes me think of circus peanuts candy. I was very conservative, using a large pea sized drop from the corner of my nose to jawline to ear. This product allowed the device to glide easily along my face. It did not dry out or require more product. Although the instructions call for the product to be removed, I thought I would try keeping those nice ingredients in place. I rubbed the product into my skin by spreading it out and down my throat. It does have a rather sticky feel. It absorbed overnight and left my skin very soft.
