Product detailed description
Hydrating toner with peptides and NAD+ · Tired, maturing skin
Your skin feels tight after cleansing, looks tired and the first fine lines are more visible than before, but you don't want a routine with several serums. Eqqualberry NAD+ Peptide Boosting Toner is a hydrating toner with niacinamide, urea, panthenol and hyaluronic acid. It is supported by a blend of peptides, B vitamins, fruit extracts and NAD+, which is an additional conditioning ingredient in this formula: its effects when applied topically are still being studied. Compared with a simple hydrating toner, it combines hydration with ingredients popular in care for maturing skin, right in the first step after cleansing.
Use it morning and evening after cleansing, before serum and moisturiser. At VIONE, we recommend it as a fragrance-free first hydrating layer with realistic expectations: the hydrated, softer skin feel comes from the formula as a whole, not from one trending ingredient.
- Type: hydrating toner, 150 ml
- Suitable for: tired, dehydrated and maturing skin that feels tight after cleansing
- Key ingredients: niacinamide, urea, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, peptides, NAD+
- Fragrance-free · Toner / essence step, morning and evening
Routine step
Eqqualberry NAD+ Peptide Boosting Toner is the Toner / essence step: straight after cleansing, before serum and moisturiser. Finish with SPF in the morning.
Who the Eqqualberry toner with peptides and NAD+ is for
- Your skin feels tight after cleansing and you want to hydrate it in the very first step.
- Your skin looks tired and lacks radiance, even though you moisturise regularly.
- You are noticing your first fine lines and want gentle daily care without retinoids or exfoliating acids.
- You are curious about NAD+ and want to try it in a simple step, knowing that its effects on the skin are still being studied.
- You avoid fragrance and essential oils.
When to choose something else: you have a crustacean allergy (the source of chitosan has not been confirmed) or a confirmed soy allergy, you require verified vegan skincare, or you expect results comparable to aesthetic treatments. The toner is not targeted care for pigment spots or acne.
Texture, colour and skin feel
- Lightweight texture: retailers describe it as light, bouncy and fast-absorbing, without a sticky feel.
- Colour and appearance: no colourants are listed in the ingredients. The manufacturer describes a subtle pearlescent appearance associated with the formula's ceramide structure. The colour may change slightly during storage. The appearance and consistency of the supplied batch must be verified before publication.
- Fragrance-free: no perfume, essential oils or ethanol in the formula.
Tip: on drier skin, you can apply the toner in two or three thin layers, letting each one absorb first. Store it away from direct sunlight.
Key ingredients: niacinamide, peptides and NAD+
- Niacinamide (vitamin B3): the best-researched ingredient in this formula. It may help support the skin barrier and even out the look of your skin tone, and it is also popular in care for fine lines. More in the glossary entry for niacinamide.
- Urea, glycerin, panthenol, hyaluronic acid and beta-glucan: hydrating ingredients that bind water in the skin and help ease the tight feeling after cleansing.
- Peptides: the formula contains twelve peptides, such as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 and Copper Tripeptide-1, plus the dipeptide carnosine. Peptides are popular ingredients in care for maturing skin. We don't attribute any specific effect to them in this toner; the softer skin feel comes from the formula as a whole.
- NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide): a coenzyme being studied in the field of care for ageing skin. The brand describes it in a liposomal form, NAD-Plussome™. Controlled studies of NAD+ applied to the skin in everyday cosmetics are still lacking, so we treat it as an additional conditioning ingredient.
- Ceramide NP, cholesterol and adenosine: conditioning ingredients. Ceramide NP and cholesterol are lipids similar to those in the skin barrier; adenosine is used in Korean skincare for fine lines.
- Vitamins and fruit extracts: vitamins B12, B1, B2, B6, biotin, beta-carotene, vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) and vitamin E. Extracts of pomegranate, blackberry, raspberry, elderberry, blueberry and cranberry round out the formula.
How to use Eqqualberry NAD+ Peptide Boosting Toner
- 1. Cleanse: a gentle cleanser; in the evening, if you wear SPF or makeup, start with a cleansing oil.
- 2. Toner: apply a small amount to your palms or a cotton pad and gently pat it into your face and neck. Avoid the eyes and let it absorb. On drier skin, you can add another layer.
- 3. Serum (as needed): a hydrating or targeted serum.
- 4. Moisturiser: seal in hydration with a cream.
- 5. SPF in the morning: as the last step.
- With active skincare: the toner itself contains no retinoids or exfoliating acids, so you can also use it on evenings with active skincare. Follow the instructions of the active product for the order of application.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Eqqualberry NAD+ Peptide Boosting Toner
What is NAD+, and what can I expect from it in a toner?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that naturally takes part in energy production in the body's cells. Whether and how it works when applied to the skin is being studied in the field of care for ageing skin. Controlled studies of NAD+ applied to the skin in everyday cosmetics are still lacking, so in this toner it is an additional conditioning ingredient. The toner's hydrating character comes from the formula as a whole, mainly niacinamide, urea, glycerin, panthenol and hyaluronic acid. Don't expect the effect of an aesthetic treatment. Individual response and skin feel may vary.
Is the toner suitable for sensitive skin?
The toner is free from fragrance and ethanol. However, it contains a number of plant and fruit extracts, chitosan and soybean seed extract, so try it on a small area first. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, discuss new skincare products with your dermatologist. If your skin starts burning, becomes significantly red or begins to peel, stop using newly introduced products and return to a simple, well-tolerated routine. Consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist.
How soon will I see a difference?
You may notice your skin feeling hydrated right after application, but this depends on your skin's condition and individual response. Changes in the appearance of fine lines or skin elasticity cannot be guaranteed within a specific timeframe. If the toner suits you, use it regularly morning and evening.
How much NAD+ does the toner contain?
NAD+ is listed among the toner's ingredients, but its exact concentration in the finished formula has not been clearly established. We therefore do not state a percentage or present it as a proven anti-ageing active.
How is it different from the ROUND LAB Dokdo, Haruharu Black Rice and ANUA Rice 70 toners?
All four are hydrating toners; they differ mainly in their formulas. ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Toner is a light, watery toner with sea water. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner is a light hydrating toner with rice extract and hyaluronic acid; according to its ingredient list, it contains lavender oil. ANUA Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner is a milky toner with rice bran water (about 70% according to the brand), niacinamide and ceramides. Eqqualberry combines niacinamide, urea and panthenol with peptides, vitamins and NAD+, and is fragrance-free. If you want the simplest possible formula, one of the simpler toners may suit you better. Eqqualberry makes sense if you want hydration and ingredients popular in care for maturing skin in a single step.
Is the toner vegan? I have a crustacean or soy allergy.
The toner contains chitosan and soybean extract. The source of chitosan has not been confirmed; chitosan can also be derived from crustaceans. If you have a crustacean allergy, avoid using the product until its source is confirmed. We cannot recommend it as verified vegan skincare without confirmation of the relevant ingredient origins. If you have a confirmed soy allergy, do not use it without prior advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Who is the toner not for, and when should I choose another product?
If you have a crustacean allergy, avoid using the product until the source of its chitosan is confirmed. If you have a confirmed soy allergy, do not use it without prior advice from a qualified healthcare professional. Also skip it if you require verified vegan skincare, want the shortest possible ingredient list, or expect results comparable to aesthetic treatments. It is not targeted care for pigment spots or acne. If your skin mainly needs soothing, a simpler soothing toner such as ANUA Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner may suit you better.
Can I combine the toner with retinol, vitamin C or acids?
The toner itself contains no retinoids or exfoliating acids. Depending on how your skin tolerates it, you can include it in a routine with active skincare. Introduce new products gradually, not all at once, and follow the instructions of the active product for the order of application. If your skin starts burning, becomes significantly red or begins to peel, stop using newly introduced products and return to a simple, well-tolerated routine. Consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist.
Can I use the toner during pregnancy?
According to its ingredient list, the toner contains no retinoids, and the brand gives no specific information on pregnancy. We still recommend discussing any new skincare with your doctor during pregnancy and breastfeeding and showing them the ingredient list below.
What to pair the Eqqualberry toner with
- ANUA 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum: a hydrating ceramide serum after the toner, when your skin needs more water and lipids.
- PURITO Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream: a panthenol cream that seals in hydration and supports the barrier.
- Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Pure Mineral Relief Daily Sunscreen SPF 50+: a fragrance-free mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide as the last step in the morning. Daily SPF is one of the basics of caring for maturing skin.
Practical tip: if you want to start simply, a cleanser, the Eqqualberry toner, a moisturiser and SPF in the morning are enough. Add a serum once you know how your skin responds to the toner.

Eqqualberry: Korean skincare with peptides and NAD+
Eqqualberry is a Korean skincare brand of the company Booster S (부스터스). It pairs berry and botanical extracts with modern ingredients such as peptides, PDRN or NAD+. It has been sold on Amazon US since 2024 and, according to Korean press reports, ships to more than 70 countries.
Does your skin feel tight after cleansing and look tired, and would you like the very first step after washing to bring hydration? From Eqqualberry, we selected a toner that adds a hydrating layer immediately after cleansing and prepares the skin for the rest of your routine.
Why we chose Eqqualberry
We selected NAD+ Peptide Boosting Toner for its combination of hydration and a lightweight dual-layer texture with ceramide pearls. The formula includes niacinamide, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, urea and peptides. For skin that feels tight after cleansing, it offers a considered first step before serum and moisturiser. It is fragrance-free and suits morning and evening.
NAD+ is new in skincare and its effects on the skin are still being researched. We chose the toner mainly for hydration and see NAD+ as an extra.
