User Feedback Patterns

EQQUALBERRY
Very lightweight, almost watery texture

Multiple reviewers note the serum feels very thin and watery. Some appreciate the lightness for layering; others feel it lacks substance on its own.

Gradual results over weeks

Users who report positive outcomes typically note improvements in skin hydration and firmness after 1 to 4 weeks of consistent use.

Small dropper dispenses little product

Several users complain that the dropper releases very small amounts, making application tedious for face and neck coverage.

Mixed efficacy opinions

Positive reviews praise hydration and glow. Negative reviews report feeling no difference, questioning whether the NAD+ and peptides deliver visible results at the concentrations used.

EQQUALBERRY
Lightweight, non-sticky texture

Users consistently praise the serum for being lightweight and non-sticky. Several reviewers specifically note it absorbs quickly, unlike typical vitamin C serums.

Visible brightening within weeks

Many users report improved skin tone and reduced dark spots within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. The brand cites an Intertek study showing 57.49% melanin area reduction in one week, though the full study methodology is not publicly available.

Small bottle size

At 30ml, several users note the bottle runs out quickly, especially with daily use on face, neck, and body as suggested by the brand.

Results vary by skin type

Some users report minimal visible change after several weeks. Most negative reviews cite underwhelming brightening results rather than irritation or breakouts.
