Alright, I gotta be real with you guys—this Numbuzin No.9 NAD Bio Lifting Essence... I don’t get the rave reviews. I’ve been using it for a while now, and I’m honestly just meh about it. 😕 But let’s break it down and I’ll explain why.

First off, the claims on this product. It’s supposed to be an essence that provides lifting and firming effects thanks to its key ingredient, NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a compound that plays a big role in energy production and cell repair. It’s also packed with antioxidants and ingredients aimed at boosting the skin’s overall health. Sounds promising, right?

It’s also supposed to help with wrinkles and fine lines, making your skin look more youthful and firm. I mean, it could be effective, but after using it religiously for about a month, I don’t think it’s made any significant impact. The lifting effect they’re talking about? I don’t feel it at all. My skin still feels soft, but I wouldn’t exactly describe it as firmer. I was hoping for a little more of that instant tightening sensation, but nope. There’s no magic happening here.

The texture is another thing. It’s a little more on the watery side than I expected from an essence—kind of like a light serum. It’s not thick, so it absorbs super fast, which I actually do like. But honestly, after it absorbs, I don’t feel like it’s doing much for my skin. It doesn’t leave any kind of noticeable glow or plumpness, and I’m left feeling like I just put water on my face. Not the best feeling when you’re expecting a product that’s going to do more.

As for the scent, it’s pretty neutral, so no complaints there. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, which is a plus. But I think the biggest issue for me is the lack of visible results. I mean, I wanted to love this because Numbuzin has been hyped up for a while now, but... it’s just not living up to the hype for me. Maybe I need to give it more time, but right now, I just feel like it’s a regular essence with no wow factor. I haven’t seen any difference in terms of lifting or skin texture, so I’m not sure it’s worth the investment.

If you’re into the whole NAD thing and you like a light, fast-absorbing essence, then it might work for you. But if you’re looking for something that really gives that lifting effect, I’d say keep looking. This one’s just not cutting it for me.
