TIMEBEAM Review: What the $77 NAD+ Glow Up Set Buys

Search TIMEBEAM and you land on a product page showing two prices, $57 and $77, with no obvious reason to pick one. That gap is not a discount tier or a subscription trick. It is a different box, and the store data makes the choice easy once you can see what is inside each one.

Direct answer: buy the 30-pack variant at $77. The two items inside it sell separately for $42 and $49, so $77 saves you $14. The 10-pack variant at $57 holds the same serum plus a smaller box that sells on its own for $19, so it saves you $4. Prices verified 1 August 2026 against TIMEBEAM's own store data. We have not physically tested this product. What follows is a desk assessment of price, contents and claims, and the claims are where it gets interesting.

Quick answer

• You want the set and you want the bundle to actually be a bundle: the TIMEBEAM NAD+ Glow Up Set at $77 for the 30-pack variant, because the $57 variant saves only $4 against buying the parts.
• You want an oral NAD+ product with a published dose: Renue by Science Liposomal NMN at $28 to $65, because TIMEBEAM publishes no milligram figure for anything in this set.
• You want to buy one longevity molecule at a time instead of a box: Aeternum Longevity Supplements from $29.90, because buying a la carte lets you drop what you do not want.

Where TIMEBEAM sits on price

Every price below comes from our catalog, and each row carries the date we last checked it.

TIMEBEAM, Renue by Science and Aeternum are brands we can track, so treat those links as affiliate links. Timeline and NOVOS are reference points only and we earn nothing on them.

TIMEBEAM is not competing on molecule economics. At $77 it sits under a NOVOS or Timeline month, and most of what you are paying for is skincare rather than supplement.

What is actually in the $77 box

As of 1 August 2026 the NAD+ Glow Up Set contains two items, not three.

• Skinbeam Milky Serum, described by the brand as a 3-in-1 serum, moisturizer and primer. It sells on its own for $42.
• Bounce Mode Healthy Pixie, a lemon-flavored powder stick you take by mouth. It sells on its own at $19 for a 10-day box or $49 for a 30-day box.

If you have seen this set described as three items including the Reset Mode evening stick, that is out of date, and our own item page carried the same error until we corrected it on 1 August 2026. Reset Mode is a separate $54 purchase for 30 days. That matters, because a third of the morning-and-evening routine the brand markets is not in the entry bundle.

Now the arithmetic the product page leaves you to do yourself.

The list price on the 30-pack variant is $91, and the two items inside it list at $42 and $49. Those add to exactly $91, so the crossed-out price is a genuine sum of the parts rather than an invented anchor, which is more than plenty of bundles in this category manage. It also means $91 is a number nobody is ever charged. The most you can pay for this box is $77.

Against what you would actually pay buying the pieces today:

• 30-pack set at $77 versus $42 plus $49, which is $91. You save $14.
• 10-pack set at $57 versus $42 plus $19, which is $61. You save $4.

Then look at the oral half on its own terms. Moving from the 10-pack set to the 30-pack set costs $20 more and gets you 20 more sticks, so $1.00 a stick. The 30-day box bought separately is $49, or $1.63 a stick. The 10-day box is $19, or $1.90. The 20 extra sticks inside the larger set are the cheapest sticks TIMEBEAM sells, and that is the whole case for the $77 variant.

Both variants also carry a subscription price 15 percent below the one-time price: $48.45 and $65.45.

The cheapest way to try it first: $24

This is the part the product page buries, and it comes with a stock caveat that changes the answer.

TIMEBEAM lists three single-use samples: the Skinbeam Milky Serum sample at $5.00, the Bounce Mode sample at $2.00 and the Reset Mode sample at $2.10. On 1 August 2026 only the $5.00 serum sample showed as in stock in TIMEBEAM's own store data. The two pixie samples both showed sold out, so a $9.10 three-sample trial is not something you can complete today, whatever a listing elsewhere suggests.

There is still a low-commitment path, it just costs $24. Buy the $5.00 serum sample and the $19.00 Bounce Mode 10-day box. That is $24 against $77, and it answers the two questions that decide whether the big box gets used or shelved: whether you like the serum's texture under makeup, and whether you will genuinely take a flavored powder stick every morning.

If you then buy, buy the $77 variant, not the $57 one. You will already have had a 10-day box and the $57 set is mostly a second one of those. Re-check stock and shipping in the cart first, because sample availability moves and a small order can carry a delivery charge.

The claim we could not verify

The Skinbeam Milky Serum page attributes an eight-year improvement in visible aging to the NAD+ ingredient in the serum, calls it clinically shown, and puts it at 6 weeks. The NAD+ Glow Up Set page makes the same claim at 8 weeks and calls it clinically proven. Both pages retrieved 1 August 2026.

Two pages of the same store, two timeframes, two different words for the strength of the evidence, and no study named on either one. No sample size, no method, no journal, no link. We looked and did not find one. Until a citation appears, that is a marketing line rather than a result, and it should carry no weight in your decision.

The deeper issue sits underneath it. NAD+ is a comparatively large molecule, and topical delivery of large molecules through intact skin is generally limited. We have not found published human evidence that applying NAD+ to skin raises NAD+ inside skin. That is not proof the idea fails. It means the mechanism is an open question, and you should price this as a bet on an unsettled idea rather than a settled one.

There is also a dose problem. We pulled the full Skinbeam Milky Serum product page on 1 August 2026 and it contains no milligram figure anywhere, and no bottle size in ml or fl oz either. So you cannot work out cost per ml, and you cannot compare the NAD+ content in this serum against anything else on the shelf. Nobody outside the company, this site included, is in a position to say the actives are adequately dosed. That statement is not available from public information.

The serum does carry 138 reviews on the brand's own site, averaging 4.6 stars, 95 of them at five stars and 3 at two stars or lower. Those are unaudited first-party reviews. They measure whether people liked using it, which is real signal about texture and habit and none at all about mechanism.

Where it gives ground

• No published dose. Not for the serum, not for the pixie sticks. For a product sold on a named molecule, that is the biggest gap in the pitch.
• The brand's headline claim contradicts itself. 6 weeks on one page, 8 weeks on another, with no study behind either.
• The $57 variant is barely a bundle. A $4 saving is a rounding error, and buying it leaves you with 10 days of the oral half.
• The entry set is two items, not three. The evening Reset Mode stick is a further $54, so the complete routine costs more than the set implies.
• The sample route is half shut. Two of the three samples showed sold out on 1 August 2026, so the cheapest real trial is $24, not $9.10.
• No bottle size published, which makes value per use impossible to calculate.
• We have not physically tested it. Nothing here is a statement about what it does to skin.

Who should buy it

• You already like the Skinbeam serum and want the oral stick at the lowest per-stick price TIMEBEAM offers, the $1.00 marginal cost inside the $77 set.
• You want one box rather than a stack, and you accept that you are buying an unsettled mechanism at a modest price rather than a proven one.
• Adherence is your real constraint. A flavored stick you take every morning beats a capsule bottle you abandon in three weeks, and format is a legitimate reason to choose.

Who should not

• You want a published dose. Buy Renue by Science Liposomal NMN at $28 to $65, verified 22 June 2026, where format and amount are on the label.
• You want a named molecule with public numbers behind it. Timeline Mitopure at $90 to $120 a month, verified 3 May 2026, publishes exactly what is in the box. We earn nothing on that link.
• You are not sure yet. Spend $24 on the serum sample and a 10-day pixie box, not $77 on the set.
• You want breadth for the money. Aeternum Longevity Supplements start at $29.90, verified 9 July 2026, and let you buy one molecule at a time.

Bottom line

TIMEBEAM has built a tidy piece of merchandising: a $42 serum and a $49 powder box sold together for $77, with a crossed-out $91 that is honest arithmetic rather than an invented anchor. If you want it, the 30-pack at $77 is the only variant that makes financial sense, because the $57 version saves you $4 and leaves you holding 10 days of the oral half. What the company has not built is a case you can check, since no dose is published, no study is named, and its own two product pages date the same aging claim differently. Spend $24 on the serum sample and a 10-day pixie box first, decide on texture and habit rather than on the marketing, and only then decide whether $77 is worth it.
