User Feedback Patterns
Multiple reviewers note the serum feels very thin and watery. Some appreciate the lightness for layering; others feel it lacks substance on its own.
Users who report positive outcomes typically note improvements in skin hydration and firmness after 1 to 4 weeks of consistent use.
Several users complain that the dropper releases very small amounts, making application tedious for face and neck coverage.
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 most common positive feedback is that this product causes no irritation. Users with sensitive skin, rosacea-prone skin, and vitamin C beginners praise its gentleness.
Users who use it consistently for 8+ weeks report gradual brightening and more even skin tone. Results are subtle rather than dramatic.
Users coming from L-ascorbic acid serums or expecting fast results find the effects underwhelming. Several reviewers switched to more potent vitamin C products.
The thin, watery texture layers well under other products. No stickiness, pilling, or interference with subsequent skincare or makeup steps.
Which Should You Buy?
The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% 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).
