Your Holiday Photos Are Coming. The Women Over 40 Who Look Rested In Them Start 14 Days Early.

Winter is hard on skin that's already losing its bounce. Here is the Korean NAD+ and EGF serum built for your face and your neck, and the simple head start that goes with it.

Woman over 40 applying NAD+ × EGF Drops to her face and neck in winter light

Two to three drops, face and neck, morning and evening.

You know the moment. Someone gathers everyone by the tree, holds up a phone, and a few seconds later the picture lands in the family group chat. You zoom in before anyone else can. The lines around your mouth look deeper than they did in August. Your neck looks like it belongs to someone older. And your skin has that flat, tired look no amount of concealer can fix.

You didn't suddenly age over the summer. Part of what you're seeing is the season, and the season is something you can get ahead of.

That is the idea behind the holiday head start: begin now, while the calendar is still on your side, rather than the night before the dinner.

Good skin for the holidays isn't something you fix the morning of. It's something you start two weeks before.

Why November shows on your face

Three things winter does to skin over 40

Lines tend to look deeper when skin is dehydrated, and after 40, many women find their skin has less bounce to begin with. Then the weather turns, and three things pile on at once.

01

Cold, dry air outside

Winter air holds far less moisture. Skin can feel tight and rough, and fine lines show more.

02

Forced heat inside

The furnace dries out the air you sit in all day and sleep in all night, so there's no real break from the dryness.

03

Holiday lighting

Overhead kitchen lights and phone flashes are unforgiving. They catch dull tone, uneven texture, and every line on your neck.

A richer night cream helps with the dryness. It doesn't do much for firmness or the tired look, and it usually stops at your jawline. That is the gap these drops were made for.

Meet the formula

NAD+ × EGF Drops: two headline ingredients, one lightweight serum

You've probably heard about NAD+ in longevity circles. In this Korean-formulated serum, it's paired with EGF, then backed by collagen and a full peptide complex, so it goes after tired-looking skin and loose-looking skin at the same time.

NAD+ × EGF Drops bottle and dropper
For the tired look

NAD+

A coenzyme found in every living cell, and one of the most talked-about names in skincare right now. Here it supports a revitalized, more luminous look on skin that has gone dull.

For the loose look

EGF

A signaling peptide (Sh-Oligopeptide-1) that supports the look of the collagen and elastin behind firm skin, helping your face and neck look firmer and smoother.

For bounce

Collagen + peptides

Collagen extract and a multi-peptide complex, including copper tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tripeptide-5, support a plumper, more supple look and smoother-looking lines.

For winter

Ectoin + hyaluronic acid

The hydration layer for heating season. Niacinamide refines the look of pores and tone, while adenosine softens the look of fine lines.

  • Lightweight, never sticky
  • Non-comedogenic tested

The 14-day number

What clinical testing measured after 14 days

8.7%smoother-looking visible smile lines
5.38%smoother-looking visible neck lines

We'll be straight with you: these aren't facelift numbers, and no serum should promise you those. They're a measurable change in two weeks, on the two places holiday photos are hardest on, from a formula that keeps working on the look of your skin the longer you use it. Radiance also improved across the forehead, eye area, corners of the mouth, and cheeks.

The part everyone skips

Your scarf comes off at dinner

Most of us spend years caring for our faces and give our necks whatever's left on our fingertips. Turtlenecks and scarves let you forget about it until November. Then you're at the table, or in the front row of the photo, in the nice top with the open collar.

Applying serum drops to the neck

These drops were formulated and tested for both areas, so there's no second bottle and no separate neck step. The same two to three drops go from your forehead down to your collarbone.

Questions

Before you order

I'm over 40 and my skin is dry. Is this too light for winter?

Think of the drops as the step under your cream, not a replacement for it. They bring ectoin and hyaluronic acid for hydration, then your moisturizer seals everything in.

Will it really work on my neck?

It was formulated for face and neck, and clinical testing measured visible neck lines looking 5.38% smoother after 2 weeks. Results vary, and they tend to build with consistent use.

Is it too late to start before the holidays?

If your first big gathering is at least 14 days out, you have the full window. Start today either way. Skin keeps responding through the winter with steady use.

I have sensitive skin. Is it safe to try?

It suits all skin types, including sensitive, dry, and oily, and it's non-comedogenic tested and primary skin irritation tested. Patch test first if you tend to react, and stop use if irritation occurs.

Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?

Yes, it layers into most routines. If you're new to retinol or exfoliating acids, introduce them gradually.

What's in the formula?

Key actives: NAD+, EGF (Sh-Oligopeptide-1), collagen extract, niacinamide, adenosine, ectoin, sodium hyaluronate, glutathione, copper tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, acetyl hexapeptide-1, acetyl octapeptide-3, oligopeptide-1, -2, and -3, hexapeptide-11, rosehip fruit oil, and a berry and fruit extract complex. See packaging for the complete, current list.

Would this make a good gift?

It's an easy one for your sister, your mother, or a friend who has earned something nice. Buy 3 and Buy 5 bring each bottle down to $15 and $13.

What if I don't like it?

You have 180 days. If you're not happy with how your skin looks, reach out and we'll make it right.
