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.
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...

Doesn't work, lasts minutes then glasses slide, might as well put my Chapstick on the glasses, garbage, absolutely garbage

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 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. :(
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.
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
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 thenerds@nerdwax.com we'll make sure you get a refund.
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.
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.
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.
Has to apply more than once in a 24 he period
Hey Cheryl! Bummed you felt like we didn't describe it correctly if you read our FAQ page you will see that "Application times can vary from 1-2hrs to a Full Day
Depending on how much you apply and what you are doing!"
Also... you can always contact us and we'll make it right!
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 thedon@nerdwax.com 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

Gave me an allergic reaction, nose swelled up and started peeling after 24 hours. Do not buy this product
IT DOESN'T WORK, MY GLASSES HAVE NOSE PADS. IM DISAPPOINTED, THESE ARE NEW GLASSES AND HAVE BEEN A PAIN TO STAY ON. WENT BACK WHERE PURCHASED FOR ADJUSTMENTS AND NEW PADS IN 3 WEEKS. WAS HOPING NERD WAX WAS THE ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM. NOT...

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
O. K. for the first 5 minutes then face warmth causes the wax to melt and we are back to where we started Zero points.!
Oh Michael... Why wouldn't you just tell us first? We stand behind our product 100% and if it's not working for you we'll make it right! Just shoot us an email at thenerds@nerdwax.com

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!
Don't waste your money. Nerd wax doesn't work even a little bit!
Aw Ellen... why wouldn't you tell us first? We stand behind our product 100% and if it doesn't work we'll take care of it. Shoot us an email thenerds@nerdwax.com so we can make it right!
Saw the product on Shark Tank and I had my order placed before the pitch was complete. I love it. Today I'm wearing frames that I haven't worn in weeks because they are so loose that they completely slip off my face if I do something like bend over to tie my shoe.
After a couple of hours I do notice some slipping again, but I just reapply. Easy.
Bought it after seeing on shark tank after a minute the glasses keeps sliding a waiste of money
Hey Jose! Just shoot us an email so we can shoot you a refund... We stand behind our product and if you're not loving it we always make it right!
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.
Tip for consumers:
Order the 3 pack for $20 and free shipping! Yeah!
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!

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.
