What it is

Lightweight lifting essence designed to boost radiance and the look of elasticity with NAD, peptides, and niacinamide, balanced by humectants for a smooth, cushioned feel.

Who it's for

  • Normal, dry, or combination skin seeking firmer, brighter-looking skin.
  • Those layering under moisturizer and sunscreen without pilling.
  • Users integrating peptides and niacinamide in a watery essence format.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • NAD — cosmetic coenzyme to support revitalized, energized-looking skin.
  • Peptides — help the skin appear firm and smooth.
  • Niacinamide — supports even tone appearance and barrier strength.
  • Humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid/glycerin) — hydrate and plump feel.

Free-from / texture

  • Watery-to-dewy essence; fast-absorbing, non-sticky finish.
  • Generally low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
  • Layers cleanly under makeup or sunscreen.

How to use & order

  • Apply after cleanser/toner on slightly damp skin.
  • Use 2–3 pumps across face and neck; follow with moisturizer.
  • Use morning and night; finish with sunscreen in the daytime.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most actives; if pairing with strong acids/retinoids, build gradually and monitor for sensitivity.
  • Can be combined with hydrating toners or mists for a moisture sandwich.
  • Patch test if you have very reactive or post-procedure skin.

Evidence & notes

  • NAD and peptides are cosmetic ingredients; firming and smoothing claims are cosmetic in nature.
  • Niacinamide supports barrier resilience and even-looking tone with consistent use.
  • Humectants (HA, glycerin) draw water; seal with moisturizer in drier climates.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Avoid applying on broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Patch test along the jawline before first full use.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.

FAQ

Q. What is NAD in this essence?

A. NAD is a cosmetic coenzyme ingredient used to support the look of revitalized, energized skin; it is not a drug or medical treatment.

Q. How often should I use it?

A. Use morning and night after toner. If you use strong actives, start once daily and increase as tolerated.

Q. Can I layer it with retinoids or acids?

A. Yes, but keep routines gentle; avoid applying directly alongside strong acids/retinoids if you’re sensitive. Alternate nights or buffer with a hydrating toner.
