What they liked

  • Watery, lightweight texture that layers easily
  • Plumping hydration without feeling heavy
  • Absorbs quickly into skin

What they flagged

    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    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."

    "Glows up the skin and helps boost collagen through its anti-aging peptide blend. The NAD helps fade hyperpigmentation and aids the collagen production from the peptides. Gives instant glow up and luminosity, like instant glass skin in a bottle, plus long term anti-aging from the peptides, brightening from the NAD, and hydration and plumping. Works as an essence or toner, hydrating toner, peptide serum, anti-aging fix, and glow up all in one, super inexpensive. Picked up the travel size for a holiday, but would normally recommend buying the full size since it's more cost effective."

    "This one works well with a cotton pad. It's super watery texture. I like to use this in my routine after cleansing. I'll apply it with a cotton pad and then smooth it over skin. Leaves skin feeling really nice. It does have a little bit of alcohol in there, but for me it's not a problem. I follow up with some nice hydrating products afterwards. It has salmon PDRN, NAD which is a vitamin shown to be very good for your skin, resveratrol which is a great antioxidant, the argireline peptide Botox in a bottle peptide, as well as the Matrixyl 3000 peptide duo, and about 50 total peptides in this. Obviously not in huge amounts, but a little bit of each peptide and some peptides work very well in very small amounts."

    numbuzin New! 🆕 No.9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner Review, How to Use, Ingredients
    "My skin has a nice glow after I use it. It's very unique. I cannot find any close dupes or alternatives at all to this one. If you want something with NAD plus, resveratrol, and 50 peptides, this is it. There's no alternative really close that I've found. I love the inclusion of 50 peptides even in small amounts. I'm a big fan of exposing your skin to as much of these ingredients that are beneficial. Unless you have very reactive skin, definitely do a patch test with the alcohol. It's something to keep in mind to do a patch test. But overall, great product and I gave it a 9 out of 10. It's really wonderful. Definitely will finish it. Certainly will repurchase it."

    New numbuzin - No.9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner First Impressions Review
    "I just love it so much. It's such a great combination of ingredients. I was a little surprised or taken aback by the alcohol in the toner, I was not expecting that. But it feels really nice though, and it's not dry. It has no real scent to it which makes it a winner. It's actually pretty hydrating, I would say it feels pretty nice on your skin. So it's got 50 different peptides, NAD plus PDRN plus 50 different peptides. PDRN is kind of the hip thing right now, NAD is as well. In here we've got turmeric, we've got resveratrol, and then we've got a lot of different peptides. Most noticeably argalene is in there, adnosine, great peptide, and I think copper peptide is in here."

    "The numbuzin Number 9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner is the first bottle I've emptied of this product, and I really do enjoy it. It's a toner but it feels almost like an essence. If you look at the ingredients list there's a lot going on besides just humectant hydrating ingredients, there's NAD+, PDRN, and about 50 peptides. It's a nice booster product for a skincare routine. I'm not mad at it, I would happily use this again, and with everything going on in the formula it can double as a toner and an essence in a routine."

    GLOW UP OVERNIGHT! PM Skincare Routine for Plump, Glowing, Glass Skin in the AM!
    "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. I use about two layers of this to achieve some nice hydration. There's also, as the name suggests, NAD+ PDRN, lots and lots of peptides, but I just really like this as a plumping, hydrating base for the rest of my skincare products."

    "This is the Numbuzin No.9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner. I've really been liking this one. This is actually my second bottle. I started using this back in the fall and I liked it then, and then I just started going back to this one in the last couple of weeks and I was like, 'Oh, yeah, I really like this.' 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's just very watery, but it just feels like there's just a little bit of like more juicy hydration that I really enjoy. It's also really pretty. There's like a pearlescent kind of effect to the texture that I find very entertaining. I do about two layers of this. It's really nice and light. There are some peptides, NAD+, some PDRN in here. Honestly, I'm really just using this for the hydration. Hydration can go a long way to making your skin look fresh, plump, lifted, healthy."
    Empty Skincare and What I Replaced Them With! | Spring 2026
    "I did replace those toners with the Numbuzin No.9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner. This is part of the NAD Plus line, which I'm a huge fan of, and I like a lot of the products in there, including the toner. I think this is my second bottle. This toner is so amazing because it is very watery, it's lightweight, it's quickly absorbed on the skin, and it's very deeply hydrating. 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. But now that my skin is in good shape and we're moving into early spring, my skin is going to lean a little bit more oily, the dryness is starting to go away, and those dehydrated needs are starting to lessen. So this will do the trick for the rest of the year until we hit winter again. It's really quickly absorbed to the skin, really easy to layer. I do two layers of this and my skin feels really good prepped, a little bit plump and ready to go. There's a whole host of interesting ingredients in here that are particularly good for skin health and boosting skin's performance. In a toner format when they're a little bit more watered down, they're not going to be as hard-hitting as a serum or an ampoule targeted treatment type of product, but they're boosting."
    Slow Aging with NAD+ (no botox!) | AD ft numbuzin
    "This is a new addition into my skincare routine, but I absolutely love it. It has this gorgeous watery, really hydrating texture that quickly absorbs into your skin without any stickiness or tackiness. And it's that kind of toner that doesn't just feel like water, but it like goes deep down into your skin and goes and expands and really hydrates every little crevice of your skin. This has the absolute perfect level of hydration and texture. You could even layer this onto your skin a few times if you're really feeling like your skin is thirsty and dehydrated. It's the absolute perfect texture for that. With the ingredients, it's not just about the NAD+, which is so good for that well-aging process, but they've also included 50 peptides, many of which help to support the collagen stimulation within skin."

    What Anti-Aging Creams REALLY Do (and Why It's Not a Bad Thing)
    "I absolutely love it. I was honestly very very reluctant to try this at first because I do feel like this is one of those products that influencers were going on about so much that I thought they're exaggerating. But I loved it. I get why they love it so much. The star ingredients in here being NAD+, PDRN, and 50 different peptides. All like powerhouses in skin regeneration. NAD+ is a co-enzyme found in like every cell of your body. I think it's pretty safe to say that NAD+ at the moment doesn't have much clinical backing. The idea is really interesting and I love all the products I use with it. It's very good at plumping the skin. Studies aren't peer-reviewed or independent, so a lot of brands do their own studies and some of the clinical trials do look very good. But for now, I'm using this as an exciting new ingredient. I'm using this as something that I know is going to plump out my skin. And with those 50 types of peptides and those antioxidants in there too, it's just a very nice skin supporting essence."
    Are These Viral K-Beauty Products Really Worth The Hype?!
    "I've definitely noticed a difference in my hydration levels with this. This is one of the good ones. I like the addition of the NAD. I like the Peptides, I like the PDRN. It's kind of one of those well aging toners that I think I get more benefits from than just hydration. Kind of like an essence, really, in that sense."

    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.
