Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testArencia NAD+ Booster Shot is a revitalizing serum that helps improve skin firmness, hydration, and radiance for a smoother, healthier-looking complexion. Formulated with Niacinamide, NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide), Resveratrol, Ceramides, Peptides, and Hyaluronic Acid, this nourishing serum helps strengthen the skin barrier while improving the appearance of fine lines, uneven tone, and dullness. It also provides lasting hydration and antioxidant protection, leaving skin looking plumper, brighter, and more resilient over time.
NAD+ Booster Shot is a cushioning serum from Arencia, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 57 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. It contains both silicones and oils, a combination that usually finishes smooth and slightly satin and sits well under makeup. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Methylpropanediol and Panthenol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Panthenol and Butylene Glycol.
Firmness signalling: Moderate. Peptides and growth factors that signal for collagen support, and here that comes from Adenosine, Adenosine Triphosphate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Tripeptide-1.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Squalane, Panthenol and Hydrogenated Lecithin.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Niacinamide, Xylitol and Adenosine.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry), Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
Based on the curated benefits documented for this product's ingredients.
Attracts and locks in moisture to keep skin plump and dewy
Boosts collagen and cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation for sensitive skin
Fades hyperpigmentation and evens out dark spots over time
Regulates sebum production to reduce shine and greasiness
Tightens and refines the look of enlarged pores
None of the ingredients in this formula are associated with these benefits. This is not unusual, as most products are designed to target a limited number of concerns.
