Most recently, “it girl’ activewear brand Alo launched NAD+ eye patches, which you might have seen several influencers wearing in their GRWM videos and that claim to support the skin’s moisture barrier.
It’s only a matter of time until NAD+ is everywhere. But what is it and why should you add it to your skincare routine?
What is NAD+?
If the term NAD+ (short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) sounds familiar, it’s likely because you’ve seen several celebrities receiving IVs infused with the ingredient. Now, the emerging ingredient has entered the skincare arena with several brands launching NAD+ serums, creams, and essences.
According to experts, it’s touted for cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and firming skin, among other anti-aging benefits. Like collagen, NAD+ levels decline as you age, which is why the skincare industry is exploring how it can be replenished to maintain youthful skin.
There are plenty of NAD+ skincare products currently on the market—and they just might give you the best skin of your life.
