What is Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot?
Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot is a concentrated, firming and revitalising serum from the Korean brand Arencia. It brings together NAD+ and NMN, two ingredients linked with skin's natural energy and renewal, with niacinamide, resveratrol, ceramides, peptides and hyaluronic acid. The aim is simple: skin that looks plumper, firmer, brighter and more resilient, with a stronger barrier and softer-looking fine lines.
It comes in a 30ml tube and has a soft, creamy-serum texture. Arencia's 'booster shot' line offers one targeted concentrate per concern, and the NAD+ version is the all-round option for tired, dull and dehydrated skin that is starting to show early signs of ageing, especially for people who want firming care without a retinoid.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a molecule found in every cell, involved in how cells produce energy and repair themselves. Levels naturally decline with age. In skincare, NAD+ and its precursor NMN are used to support a more revitalised, resilient look. Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is closely related and works alongside them.
What is a vitamin C booster shot?
Within the same Arencia range, the Arencia Vitamin C Booster Shot is the brightening concentrate, built around vitamin C for dullness and uneven-looking tone. The NAD+ Booster Shot focuses more on firmness, hydration and barrier support, while still helping with radiance. Many people use the vitamin C shot in the morning and the NAD+ shot in the evening.
Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot benefits: what it does for your skin
Firmer, plumper-looking skin
Peptides, NAD+ and NMN support a bouncier, firmer look over time, and fine lines appear softer as skin becomes better hydrated. See our ageing concern edit for more firming picks.
Brighter, more even-looking tone
Niacinamide and the antioxidant resveratrol help reduce the look of dullness and uneven tone, leaving the complexion clearer and more radiant.
A stronger barrier
Ceramides restore the lipids the barrier depends on, so skin holds on to moisture better and feels less tight or reactive.
Lasting hydration
Hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin, while the creamy texture helps keep it there. Dry skin types can find more support in our dryness edit.

How to use Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot (morning and night)
How to use Arencia NAD booster shot?
- Wash your face and use your usual toner.
- Squeeze out a small amount, about a pea or two.
- Spread it in a thin, even layer over the face.
- Tap lightly with your fingertips until it sinks in.
- Seal it with moisturiser; in the morning, finish with sunscreen.
It can be used once or twice a day. For areas that need extra attention, such as smile lines or the forehead, you can press a second thin layer onto just those spots.
Pairing it with retinoids and vitamin C
Because it is retinoid-free, it pairs easily with other actives. In the evening, you can use it after a retinoid such as the Arencia Retinal Booster Shot or the celimax The Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum to keep the skin comfortable. In the morning, it layers well after a vitamin C serum such as the COSRX The Vitamin C 23 Serum.
Already using a strong niacinamide serum?
This booster already contains niacinamide, so you may not need a separate high-strength serum such as the ANUA Peach 70% Niacinamide Serum in the same step. Use one or the other, or apply them at different times of day.
Building a simple Arencia routine
Cleanse with the Arencia Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser, tone, then apply the NAD+ Booster Shot, followed by moisturiser. For a dewier glow, add the Arencia Rice Mucin Glow Serum before the booster.
Morning or evening?
Both work, and the choice depends on the rest of your routine. In the morning, the booster gives hydration and antioxidant support under sunscreen, and its creamy texture makes a smooth base for makeup. In the evening, it helps skin recover overnight and calms the dryness some people feel from retinoids. If you only use it once a day, pick whichever time you are most consistent with, because regular use is what drives results.
How much should you use?
A pea or two is enough for the whole face. Using more does not speed up results and may leave a film under moisturiser or makeup. Add a little extra on the neck if you want, since that area often shows dullness and loss of firmness early.
Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot results: how long until you see a difference?
Hydration and a smoother, plumper feel show within days. A brighter, more even-looking tone usually becomes noticeable after three to four weeks. Firmness and the look of fine lines take longer, typically six to eight weeks of daily use, alongside sunscreen.
Does Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot have side effects?
It is designed to be gentle and is retinoid-free, so most skin types tolerate it well. Some people may notice mild redness or tingling at first, often linked to niacinamide. If your skin reacts easily, patch-test on the jawline for a day before using it all over, and stop if irritation persists.
Who should use Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot?
It suits most skin types, especially dull, dehydrated or tired-looking skin and anyone noticing early fine lines or loss of firmness. Oily skin can use a thin layer with a light gel moisturiser; dry skin can follow with a richer cream. If dark marks are your main concern, pair it with a targeted brightening product.

Original vs fake Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot: how to check
Inspect the tube: it should have a sealed nozzle, sharp Arencia printing and a clear batch and expiry code. The serum should be smooth, creamy and evenly coloured with a light scent. Separation, a sour smell or an unsealed tube are signs of a fake or an old product.

Using Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot in Pakistan's heat and humidity
In hot, humid months, use a thin layer under a lightweight gel moisturiser, or let the booster double as your moisturiser on oily skin. Sunscreen matters even more when you are working on firmness and tone, since UV damage undoes those gains. Keep the tube away from heat and direct sunlight, and close it after use.
