Thank goodness I looked into customer reviews before purchasing this product. So many skin issues made with "all natural ingredients". I'll google to find more recent reviews, they may have changed their ingredients with all these bad reviews.
Nerdwax
I found no appreciable difference between no NerdWax & after NerdWax was applied.
It didn't work for me, very disappointing
Doesn't work, lasts minutes then glasses slide, might as well put my Chapstick on the glasses, garbage, absolutely garbage
It lasts a very short time, then the glasses are back to slipping and the wax is gone. Purchased after seeing on Sharktank. So disappointed...
I bought one tube of Nerd Wax. I was getting tired of sunglasses slipping down my nose. Worked great the first time, but then I used it again and the sides of my nose became all red and itchy! Clearly disappointed as I was hoping it would work really well for me to continue to use it. I've never had an allergic reaction before as I'm not allergic to anything. Guess my glasses will have to continue to slip down my nose. :(
I was about to get rid of my glasses, and get a pair with the ugly rubber pieces. I don't know why but my new glasses annoyed me more than any other pair. Nerd wax saved them and me. It's working good so far. Just have to carry it in my purse, and apply 2 to 3 times a day.
I wish I would have read these reviews first! I read ingredients prior to purchase and am not allergic to any of them. After using twice I became very itchy in the eye area at work and by the time I got home I looked like i was punched in the nose. All red and inflamed as well as bumpy and itchy! Probably would work good if not allergic though. Bought on Amazon
It works to keep your glasses in place but wouldn't you know it I was one of those one in a million people allergic to it. My nose got red, swollen and bumpy. Shoot.
I applied to my glasses as directed and wore for about 4 hours and started to itch on my nose and my inner eyes so I removed my glasses and washed them off and put coldclorh on face to help with itching. Kept getting worse. Swelling and itching and got bumpy. I used cortisone cream and took Benadryl. It stayed this way for 3-4 days. Now flaky and red with little swelling 5 days later.
Hey Jackie,
So sorry to hear that! If you shoot us an email [email protected] we'll make sure you get a refund.
Pros: Works for maybe a couple hours in mild climates with low humidity. Otherwise worthless.
Cons: After 3 weeks my nose is redder than Rudolph's. Also very itchy. Goodbye Nerdwax.
Im not sure if its the summer weather in Australia, but it doesnt matter how much I apply or how closely I follow the instructions, within 5 minutes of application the wax has melted off and ends up all over my face. Definitely not something Id use with makeup on, and hasnt managed to make my glasses stay up at all.
Gave me an allergic reaction, nose swelled up and started peeling after 24 hours. Do not buy this product
I used this product and my nose and lower forehead came out in a red swollen itchy rash and its been three days and I am using cortisone ointment and antihistamine tablets and so far it has not gone. I did not see any warning about allergic reactions and feel I have to put this information out there to warn others.
Hey Yvonne,
So sorry for your experience! If you shoot an email to [email protected] I'd love to make sure you get a refund and I can assist in making sure your experience with nerdwax ends well!
As far as being upfront we address allergic reactions both on the FAQ page of our website and on the packaging itself.
Thanks for giving us a shot and I hope we get the opportunity to make it right

Nerd wax is not all natural, It contains a glue product that made my nose swell up to the size of a baseball, covered in dermatitis. $100.00 for the doctor appointment. Along with 10 days of prednisone. Costing me $135.00, and 2 lost days of work. My daughters wedding is this week and it's still red and peeling. Because this product clearly makes contact with your skin, there should be a warning. It should also have a patch test requirement. I will contact the food and drug next to report this. It should be considered a cosmetic, and have to be approved by the FDA. Don't use this product.
Both my husband and myself have the plastic nose pads on our glasses and I have struggled to keep them where I could see property as I have tri-focals. Once the pads were cleaned and my bridge nose area cleaned, what a difference. Works like a charm. I will ensure that when traveling a tube will always be with us. Not all products are right for everyone, but for us, this is really a good thing. Many thanks guys and Shark Tank.
I was so excited to use this. It works for like 3 minutes and then it's back to normal. It prevents slipping a little bit but the second you adjust your glasses or anything like that, it's game over. Soooo disappointing.
And if you get it in your lenses, there goes the next 5 minutes of your life trying to get it off. And yes, I watched every video. Not great.
Saw this on Shark Tank and wanting to support my fellow Nashvillian neighbors, I purchased some Nerdwax. Had an initial, minor issue with slipping until I checked out their helpful (and humorous) video offering various tips on proper application (I'm female so I don't mind "asking for directions"). This is a gem of an idea; I'm super happy with my Nerdwax and I wish the cute couple creators the very best of luck!
I purchased one for me and one for my son. My nose is pretty flat while my son's nose is pretty latge. The nerd wax did NOTHING. For either of our noses. I can not imagine it working on any size nose. All it does is make your glasses dirty.
Hey Lezlie... Bummed you haven't had the usual awesome nerdwax experience we're used to! Did you get a chance to watch our Application Tips Video? That should help... if not just let me know and I'll shoot you a refund! Thanks Don
Just a follow up to my previous review. Nerd wax read it, contacted me and is sending a refund. While the product was disappointing, the company is honorable. Thank you!
Hey Ellen... Bummed you haven't had the usually awesome nerdwax experience we're used to. Just reach out and we'll shoot you a refund! We stand behind our product and if you're not loving it just let us know so we can make it right! Thanks Don
I love my $10 sunglasses from Forever 21 - so I don't expect a great fit every time. Nerdwax was the answer for running outside, even in the hot florida sun! Not to mention general day to days like driving and just enjoying the outdoors. Love this product.
Sorry to hear that Eileen,
Allergic reactions to nerdwax are rare but they do happen. This is why we do our best to warn customers of the possibility of a reaction on both our website and on our packaging. If you shoot an email to [email protected] with your order info, we're happy to issue you a refund.
Sorry that you didn't have a great nerdwax experience
Don with Nerdwax
