What the gurus are saying

This toner delivers visible plumping and a noticeable glow, with gurus repeatedly noting how quickly skin looks firmer and more luminous after application. The texture surprises most who expect a typical watery toner; it reads thicker and more substantive, sitting somewhere between a traditional toner and an essence, which means it layers beautifully but absorbs fast enough to prep skin for serums and treatments without feeling heavy. One thing to keep in mind: it does contain alcohol, so those with very reactive or sensitised skin may want to patch test first, though gurus found it hydrating rather than drying in practice.

    "They also do a toner version in the same line. It has the NAD, the 50 peptides, and a little touch of PDRN, which is another pro collagen ingredient, and it has a light luminosity to it. It's going to really help you cheat a good skin day, give you that glow up in the immediate term, and give you all that anti-aging in the long term. If you want the glow up, get the toner."

    "This is the Numbuzin No.9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner. Long name toner. I love this one. It's really watery, lightweight. It really plumps up my skin.

It has that nice lightweight texture that quickly absorbs into my skin, but there's just a little something, just a little extra plumping. It's not like a gel-like toner."

It feels like it does my skin well. Now, I will say, there is a little bit of a hydration edge to some other toners, and especially when my skin is in the deepest parts of dehydration, I would reach for those over this one."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Niacinamide

    Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

    Source: DermNet

    Ceramides

    Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

    Source: DermNet

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
