Summary

EQQUALBERRY NAD+ Peptide Boosting Serum is an anti-aging facial serum designed around a combination of NAD+, peptides, niacinamide, ceramides and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid. The formula is aimed primarily at improving the appearance of firmness, elasticity, hydration and overall skin texture. EQQUALBERRY describes the serum as a lightweight product intended for morning and evening use after cleansing and toner.

One of the most distinctive ingredients is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), accompanied by nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). The brand positions NAD+ as part of its skin-energy and rejuvenation concept, but it is important to distinguish a cosmetic manufacturer’s claims from established clinical evidence. The presence of NAD+ in a topical serum does not by itself demonstrate that the product will increase collagen production or reverse visible aging in every user. EQQUALBERRY’s claims about lifting and elasticity should therefore be considered manufacturer-reported product claims.

The peptide component is particularly extensive. The manufacturer lists 14 types of peptides, including Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide-9, Nonapeptide-1, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, Acetyl Octapeptide-3 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. Peptides are widely used in cosmetic formulations aimed at improving the appearance of fine lines and firmness, although the strength of evidence varies considerably between individual peptide ingredients and formulations.

Another notable feature is the inclusion of five ceramides: Ceramide NP, NS, AS, AP and EOP. Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids involved in the skin barrier, so their inclusion gives the formula a strong barrier-supporting component. The serum also contains cholesterol, hydrogenated lecithin, squalane and shea butter, which add further conditioning and emollient properties.

Hydration is another major part of the formula. EQQUALBERRY uses several forms of hyaluronic acid, including sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid, hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate, potassium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer and sodium acetylated hyaluronate. Hydroxyethyl urea, glycerin, butylene glycol and panthenol provide additional humectant and moisturizing support. This combination may make the serum particularly appealing for skin that feels dry or dehydrated.

The formula also contains niacinamide, an established cosmetic ingredient with multiple skincare uses, including supporting the skin barrier and improving the appearance of uneven tone. Panthenol and allantoin provide additional skin-conditioning and soothing functions. Adenosine is also included, another ingredient frequently used in anti-aging cosmetic formulations.

From a SafetyScore perspective, the formula has several positive characteristics. The official ingredient list does not show added parfum/fragrance, and the formula contains numerous moisturizing and barrier-supporting ingredients. It also does not rely on retinoids or strong exfoliating acids, which may make it easier to incorporate into a routine for people who want an anti-aging serum without a highly active exfoliating treatment.

However, the long ingredient list is worth considering. A formula containing dozens of ingredients provides many potential functional benefits, but it also means there are more individual components that could theoretically be unsuitable for a particular person. Botanical fruit extracts, including blackberry, cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, elderberry and pomegranate, are present. People with known sensitivities should check the complete ingredient list carefully and patch-test new skincare products when appropriate.

Overall, EQQUALBERRY NAD+ Peptide Boosting Serum is a complex hydration and anti-aging formula rather than a simple peptide serum. Its combination of NAD+, multiple peptides, five ceramides, several forms of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol and squalane gives it a broad formulation profile. The strongest evidence-based conclusion is that the formula contains many established moisturizing and skin-conditioning ingredients; stronger claims about collagen stimulation, cellular repair or lifting should be interpreted as product claims rather than guaranteed outcomes.

The manufacturer recommends using the serum morning and evening after cleansing and toner. EQQUALBERRY also advises avoiding damaged areas and discontinuing use or seeking professional advice if abnormal redness, swelling, itching or other adverse reactions occur.

For SafetyScore.io, the product is best viewed as an informational cosmetic assessment, not a medical treatment recommendation or guarantee of safety. Cosmetic formulas can also change, so consumers should verify the ingredient list printed on their specific packaging before use.


Pros

  • Contains 14 peptide ingredients, including Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1.
  • Contains five ceramides — NP, NS, AS, AP and EOP — to support the skin barrier.
  • Uses multiple forms of hyaluronic acid for hydration.
  • Contains niacinamide, a versatile skin-conditioning ingredient.
  • Panthenol, allantoin and squalane add moisturizing and conditioning support.
  • Includes cholesterol, another important component of the skin-barrier system.
  • No parfum/fragrance is listed in the current official ingredient list.
  • Can be used morning and evening, according to the manufacturer.
  • Does not contain retinol or strong exfoliating acids, giving it a relatively gentle active profile.

Cons

  • The formula is very complex, with a large number of ingredients and botanical extracts.
  • People with highly reactive skin may prefer a shorter ingredient list.
  • Contains several fruit extracts, including blackberry, cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, elderberry and pomegranate.
  • The brand's claims about NAD+ and collagen support should be regarded as manufacturer claims, rather than assuming they apply equally to every user.
  • The serum contains NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) in addition to NAD+, which is worth noting for consumers specifically looking for a NAD+-only formula. EQQUALBERRY itself confirms both are present.
  • Cosmetic formulas can change, so the packaging should be checked against the current ingredient list.

The formula has a strong overall profile, particularly for hydration and barrier support. The absence of declared fragrance and inclusion of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, panthenol and squalane are positives. The main deduction comes from the formula's complexity and the need to distinguish the manufacturer's NAD+/peptide performance claims from independently established evidence.
