The EQQUALBERRY NAD+ Peptide Boosting Serum is a high-performance anti-ageing treatment designed to restore youthfulness, bounce, and resilience. Powered by the coenzyme NAD+, this formula supports cellular energy and repair, while a multi-peptide complex (including 14 types of peptides) and vegan collagen work together to boost collagen synthesis and visibly lift sagging skin. In addition, the formula incorporates five essential ceramides (NP, NS, AS, AP, EOP) to restore the skin barrier and seal in deep hydration, plus antioxidant-rich berry and pomegranate extracts to brighten and protect against dullness. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, this serum delivers a smooth, plump finish and a radiant glow.

About NAD+ Peptide Boosting Serum

Overview

NAD+ Peptide Boosting Serum is a cushioning serum from Eqqualberry, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 48 ingredients, each broken down in full below.

Texture and finish

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, Hydroxyethyl Urea and Betaine, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.

What the formula does

Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Betaine and Butylene Glycol.

Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Squalane, Niacinamide and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter.

Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Sodium Benzoate, Niacinamide and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter.

Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate.

Who it suits

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.

What it does not target

The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, cell renewal and firmness signalling. 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.

What is not in it

Reading the full list, the formula is essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.

Where it fits in a routine

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.

Pros and cons

What to layer it with

Judged by the same curated rules our routine checker uses. It reads the ingredients, not the label.

Compatible with

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
  • Retinoids (retinol, retinal)
  • AHAs (glycolic, lactic)
  • BHA (salicylic acid)
  • PHAs (gluconolactone)
  • Benzoyl peroxide
  • Azelaic acid
  • Copper peptides
  • Bakuchiol
  • Niacinamide
  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Ceramides
  • Signal peptides
  • Panthenol
  • Sunscreen

Nothing in this formula belongs to a group our rules can put in conflict, so it layers freely. Order still matters — thinnest texture first.

Where it fits in a routine

Morning Evening
  1. Cleanse
  2. Toning
  3. Treat
  4. Moisturise
  5. Protect

This product is the "Treat" step.

  • 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.

Safety and suitability

Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not clearance — ask your doctor about anything you use daily.
Fungal acne (malassezia)
8 ingredients could feed malassezia: Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
Sensitive and reactive skin
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.
