What’s The Deal With NAD+ Boosters For Your Skin?

You’ve probably heard celebs like Hailey Bieber and Gwyneth Paltrow casually name-drop NAD+ like it’s the secret to immortality. Spoiler: they’re not entirely wrong. While it’s not magic, NAD+ Booster is actually backed by science—and it’s one of the buzziest ingredients in the skin longevity space right now. And no, it’s not just another fleeting trend—the NAD+ Booster benefits for the health of your cells and skin are verified by experts, including Timebeam founder Dr. Lamees Hamdan.
“NAD+ is is essential for cellular metabolism. It’s a co-substrate for enzymes that play key roles in pathways that modify aging And yes, it works. In clinical studies, our NAD+ Booster showed a reversal of 8 years of skin aging in just 6 weeks. So let’s break it down. What is NAD+, why does it matter for your skin, and how can you actually start using it in a way that works?
What Even is NAD+ & Why Is Everyone Talking About It??
NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (kinda a mouthful, but stick with us), and it’s a naturally occurring coenzyme found in all your cells. It’s essential for helping your cells stay energized, functioning, and, well, alive.
As we age, NAD+ levels drop—and your skin starts to show it. Think: less bounce, more dryness, and slower repair. Boosting NAD+ can help your skin act younger, longer. That’s where NAD+ Booster steps in.
At Timebeam, we use a form extracted from sunflower sprouts and pair it with peptides, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid in our Skinbeam Milky Serum for that lit-from-within look—no filter needed.
How Does NAD+ Help Your Skin?
Think of NAD+ as your skin’s personal trainer—working at the cellular level to:
-
Boost cell regeneration
-
Strengthen your skin barrier
-
Help your skin bounce back from stress (hi, late nights and sun damage)
-
Reduce the look of fine lines + dullness
And when NAD+ teams up with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid? Total power couple. Your skin gets extra plump, hydrated, and resilient.
So…Why Do NAD+ Levels Drop?
Bad news: NAD+ levels drop by about 50% every 20 years. Oof.
Some things that speed up the decline:
-
Alcohol
-
Smoking
-
Overeating
-
Stress
-
Environmental toxins
Basically, modern life.
But there are ways to rebuild those levels—naturally and with a little help.
How to Boost NAD+ (Yes, You’ve Got Options)
Move Your Body
Exercise is your best friend. Cardio, yoga, even a daily walk—all help your body produce more NAD+ and reduce inflammation. Bonus: it also boosts mood and sleep. Win-win.
Eat For Your Cells
Load up on foods rich in Vitamin B3 (niacin), which converts into NAD+ during digestion. We’re talking:
-
Avocados
-
Salmon
-
Peanuts
-
Legumes
-
Whole grains
-
Cow’s milk (if that’s your thing)
Try an NAD+ Supplement
Our Bounce Mode Healthy Pixie is packed with a bioavailable NAD+ booster—aka, it works fast and doesn’t need water. Just pop and go. It’s one of the easiest ways to support your skin and your energy. (Heads up: if you have liver or kidney issues, talk to your doc first.)
Use Topical NAD+ in Skincare
Topicals like our Skinbeam Milky Serum deliver NAD+ directly to your skin—where it can get to work supporting cell repair and renewal. Paired with peptides? Your skin’s going to thank you.
Why NAD+ = Skin Longevity Goals
NAD+ helps power up the processes your skin needs to stay youthful:
-
DNA repair
-
Moisture retention
-
Faster cell turnover
-
More energy at the cellular level
It’s basically the foundation of real anti-aging (read: slow aging, not just surface smoothing).
That’s why we included NAD+ in both our Bounce Mode Healthy Pixie and Skinbeam Milky Serum—because skin longevity isn’t about one miracle product. It’s a combo of smart ingredients, inside and out.
Final Thoughts: Is NAD+ Worth the Hype?
If you’re into skincare that actually supports long-term skin health—not just a temporary glow—then yeah, NAD+ deserves a spot in your routine.
Think of it as future-proofing your face. The earlier you start, the better your skin ages.
