In the pursuit of hydrated, glowing, youthful skin, we often layer on serums and creams without thinking twice about what’s inside. More often than not, they’re missing a key ingredient: NAD⁺. This essential coenzyme fuels the skin from within — and when harnessed in skincare, it can make your journey to radiance far more effective.
The Science Behind NAD⁺ and Skin Health
NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in every cell of the body — and the skin is no exception. Often referred to as the “cellular battery,” NAD⁺ plays a critical role in energy metabolism, DNA repair and cellular defence. As we age, NAD⁺ levels decline, and with them, the skin’s ability to renew, protect and repair itself also diminishes. This is where targeted NAD⁺ replenishment becomes essential.
Cellular Energy & Renewal
Skin cells need a consistent supply of energy to perform essential functions like collagen production, turnover of dead cells, and maintaining the skin barrier. NAD⁺ fuels mitochondria — the powerhouses of the cells — to drive ATP production. This energy boost allows cells to regenerate faster and function more efficiently, leading to improved tone, texture and overall skin vitality.
DNA Repair & Longevity
Daily exposure to UV rays, pollution and oxidative stress causes micro-damage to the DNA within skin cells, accelerating signs of ageing. NAD⁺ activates enzymes called sirtuins and PARPs, which are essential for DNA repair. By supporting these processes, NAD⁺ helps maintain skin integrity and resilience, preventing premature ageing and damaged skin.
Inflammation Control & Oxidative Stress
Chronic low-grade inflammation is a major driver of skin ageing, irritation and sensitivity. NAD⁺ helps regulate the body’s inflammatory response and acts as an antioxidant buffer by enhancing the skin’s ability to neutralise free radicals. This means calmer, less reactive skin — and a healthier skin barrier better equipped to handle environmental stressors.
Hydration & Barrier Strength
A strong skin barrier is essential for locking in moisture and defending against environmental stressors. NAD⁺ supports this by fuelling cellular processes involved in lipid metabolism and skin cell turnover — both of which contribute to a well-functioning, cohesive outer layer. When cells have sufficient NAD⁺, they’re better equipped to maintain structural integrity and hydration, helping to reduce water loss and support a plumper, more resilient complexion.
