User Feedback Patterns

EQQUALBERRY
Good companion to the serum

Users who purchase the NAD+ set report that the cream adds needed richness after the watery serum.

Newer product, limited reviews

Launched more recently than the serum. Review volume is still building across platforms.

Naturium
Higher quality than The Ordinary

Users who have tried both brands frequently note Naturium feels 'better quality' with faster absorption and less pilling, though acknowledging The Ordinary costs less.

Effective but requires patience

Most users report visible improvement in skin texture and oil control within 2-4 weeks, with more significant changes at the 6-8 week mark.

Minimal scent issue

Some users note a subtle odd scent, though it dissipates quickly after application. Generally not a dealbreaker.

Layers well

Consistent praise for how this serum absorbs and layers under other products without pilling or feeling heavy.

Which Should You Buy?

Naturium Niacinamide Serum 12% Plus Zinc 2% offers great value at a lower price point. EQQUALBERRY NAD+ Peptide Boosting Cream may be worth the premium if you want 5% NAD+.
