Who it's for

Key ingredients (INCI)
- NAD — cosmetic coenzyme to support revitalized, energized-looking skin.

- Humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid/glycerin) — hydrate and plump feel.

How to use & order
- Apply after cleanser/toner on slightly damp skin.
- Use 2–3 pumps across face and neck; follow with moisturizer.

Conflicts & layering tips

Evidence & notes
- NAD and peptides are cosmetic ingredients; firming and smoothing claims are cosmetic in nature.

- 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.
