NAD+ Cell Energizing Skin Care Treatment with Proprietary NAD+ Precursor Complex, Clinically Proven to Target 12 Signs of Aging - 50ml

As someone who currently has a bit of a haphazard skincare routine, I'm always looking for new skincare products in order to see if they work. When I first saw this, I thought that there was no way that this stuff was worth the price. I decided to try it out anyway and let me tell you that I was extremely surprised. This Ardmore NAD+ Cell Treatment comes inside an elegantly designed and durable pump bottle. You simply push the pump down once or twice (note that the first time you may have to pump a bunch to get some out), then apply to your freshly washed face. It has a light scent that you may or may not like. It's great enough to moisturize my face easily by itself, but I use this with another moisturizer to counteract the unbearable cold this winter season. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that this has greatly improved my skin. My skin feels more smooth and firm. I've also noticed that my face doesn't feel oily anymore. It was embarrassing with the amount of oil my face would produce and how nothing seemed to work to help. I'm so freaking happy. On the one hand this product is extremely expensive, but on the other hand it's made me not feel embarrassed by my skin. I can highly recommend this product!

I’ve been using this face serum for a few weeks, and overall, I’m impressed. First off, the packaging is luxurious, which I would expect for a serum currently priced at ninety-two dollars. The bottle and looks and feels expensive, and there is a refill system where you replace the inner tube but keep the outer glass and pump. I like the waste reduction in plastic. The consistency is on the thicker side for a serum, which I actually like because it’s not runny or messy. It also has a pleasant florally scent, but if you’re sensitive to fragrances, it’s something to keep in mind.The results have been good (not miracle level, but solid.) My face feels silky smooth, and I’ve noticed a more even skin tone, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I have resilient skin and didn’t experience any irritation, but I’d recommend anyone with sensitive skin to patch test first.One downside was the pump—it didn’t work right out of the box. I had to flip the bottle upside down for the first 2-3 days to get any out. Now however it works right side up and it’s been fine ever since.I ran the ingredient list through ChatGPT for a breakdown, and the AI confirmed it’s well-curated with effective ingredients for anti-aging, uneven skin tone, and hydration. Knowing that gives me extra confidence in the product.If the pump had worked perfectly from the start, this might’ve been a 5-star product. Overall, I’d still recommend it as a splurge product for anyone looking for a high-quality serum that delivers results.ChatGpt: Here’s an evaluation of the provided skincare ingredient list based on current dermatologic research.Key Ingredients and Their Benefits:Water (Aqua): Base ingredient; hydrates and dissolves other ingredients.Pentylene Glycol: A humectant that helps retain moisture; has antimicrobial properties.Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: An emollient derived from coconut oil; improves skin softness.Squalane: A natural moisturizer that mimics skin’s natural oils; excellent for hydration and skin barrier repair.Cetearyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol; acts as an emollient and stabilizer.

Didn’t see changes on my skin as they made such a big deal

This NAD+ cell energizing lotion smells like almond extract to me. It feels lighter than a cream or lotion; more like a creamy serum. But it does add a nice layer of moisture to my skin; and I like that it’s not too heavy, so that I can layer my sunscreen over it without feeling too weighed down. This also adds kind of a nice sheen to the skin after application. I can’t speak to the long term benefits, but my initial response after using it daily for a couple of weeks, is that I’m really enjoying it so far.

Packaging is magnificent, it is incredibly visually appealing. Serum has a nice consistency and is not incredibly scented . It feels great going on. I have been using it for a few weeks however I am not faithful with my skin care routines, but have noticed a slight difference.

Not sure why it comes with a glass bottle when it just comes in a plastic tube. Also I don't like that I can't see how much product is left in this as it's hard to know when to replace it.This took about 15 pumps just to get it to come out. I was wondering if I had a broken one, but it just takes awhile to get it to come out!I have been using this for a few days now, and I have really been liking the results with my skin. It seems brighter and refreshed after using this.I have sensitive skin, and this doesn't cause any issues with it. This says it's unscented, but does come with a light scent. I thought it was a cherry cough syrup scent at first.. but I'm not sure what it is!! Overall I have been liking this so far though!
