NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme critical for cellular energy and metabolic processes. In skincare, it offers:

  1. Anti-Aging: Boosts energy production and activates sirtuins, supporting DNA repair and reducing fine lines and wrinkles (Guarente, 2013).
  2. Skin Barrier Function: Enhances hydration and resilience by improving cellular repair mechanisms (Imai & Guarente, 2014).
  3. Brightening: Promotes cellular turnover, reducing oxidative stress and uneven tone (Cantó et al., 2015).
  4. Anti-Inflammatory: Modulates inflammatory responses, soothing irritation (Verdin, 2015).
  5. Oxidative Stress Reduction: Activates antioxidants via sirtuins, protecting against free radical damage (Kane & Sinclair, 2018).

These benefits make NAD+ effective for anti-aging, hydration, and brightening formulations.
