The Molecule That Could Save Your Skin (And Maybe Your Life)
In beauty, trends come and go faster than you can say “slugging.” But every once in a while, science drops a bombshell. This one’s called NAD+. It’s a molecule. It’s in every single cell. And it’s quietly running the show—fueling collagen, fixing DNA damage, and keeping your skin looking, well, like it wants to be seen.
But there’s a catch.
NAD+ runs out.
By 40, you’ve lost about half of it.
And when the tank runs low?
Fine lines, dull skin, sagging—they show up.
Harvard’s Dr. David Sinclair calls NAD+ the future of longevity. We call it the future of your skin-span. And yes, that’s a thing.
Why You Should Care About NAD+ (And Your Skin Should, Too)
Think of NAD+ as your skin’s power source.
It converts nutrients into energy, repairs damage, and keeps cells buzzing along like they did back when you were 25.
But the older you get, the less you have. And when NAD+ dips, so does your glow.
Here’s what happens when NAD+ is doing its job:
✔ DNA Repair
Every day, your skin gets hit with UV, pollution, and stress. NAD+ helps your cells clean up the mess. Less damage = healthier skin.
✔ Collagen Production
NAD+ wakes up the sirtuins (science talk for proteins that keep your cells young). More collagen means firmer, bouncier skin.
✔ Stronger Skin Barrier + Hydration
It helps your skin lock in moisture and fight off environmental junk. Translation: Skin that’s dewy, not dull.
How to Reboot Your NAD+ Levels
(Because a full tank gets you further.)
💊 Topical Boosters
Look for serums and creams with NMN or Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). They’re the precursors that recharge your skin at the source.
🍽️ Supplements + Nutrition
B vitamins, healthy fats, and polyphenols (think berries and green tea) help your body hang onto NAD+. Supplements? They work. And they’re worth it.
🏃♀️ Lifestyle Fixes
Exercise. Intermittent fasting. Sleep. Do these three and your body naturally ramps up NAD+ production. Skin loves that.
Bottom Line
NAD+ isn’t a trend. It’s not another pretty serum with fancy packaging. It’s real-deal science. And it works.
