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.

The Inkey List
No pilling

Multiple users note this formula does not ball up under other products or makeup, unlike some competing niacinamide serums.

More hydrating than expected

Users with dry or combination skin report this feels more hydrating than pure niacinamide serums with zinc, likely due to the squalane, HA, and lack of zinc.

Packaging frustrations

The squeeze bottle with press-down cap makes it difficult to control how much product dispenses. Some users report buildup around the opening.

Visible pore improvement

Consistent feedback about reduced pore appearance within 2-4 weeks of daily use.

Which Should You Buy?

The Inkey List Niacinamide Oil Control Serum offers great value at a lower price point. EQQUALBERRY NAD+ Peptide Boosting Serum may be worth the premium if you want NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide).
