With the primary goal of product safety and quality, Nerium has taken great care with respect to the formulation of its products. Nerium's product portfolio includes the NeriumAD product line, sold in the United States, and the Optimera product line, sold internationally. 

NeriumAD products were formulated after more than 10 years of scientific research and clinical testing by scientists and medical professionals. The products include the exclusive, patented NAE-8 extract, derived from the Nerium oleander plant and Aloe. The NeriumAD product line includes: NeriumAD Age-Defying Day Cream, NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment Night Cream and NeriumFirm Body Contouring Cream.

The Optimera product line was developed following the same formulation guidelines and clinical testing as the NeriumAD line and features the patent-pending SAL-14 extract. The SAL-14 extract is a botanically-based blend featuring Biden pilosa, an ingredient known for its advanced age-fighting properties. This line includes the Optimera Day Cream and Optimera Night Cream.

Both the NeriumAD and Optimera products have been proven to dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores and aging skin without the use of harmful ingredients.
