TIMEBEAM NAD+ Glow Up Set
The first brand to merchandise NAD+ as a skincare vertical — topical serum + oral booster as one stack.
The first brand to merchandise NAD+ as a skin-longevity vertical — and the one Dr. Lamees Hamdan actually formulated.
The longevity-skincare category has been waiting for someone to bridge the inside-out divide. Topical brands sell serums with hyaluronic acid, peptides, retinoids — none of which directly raise NAD+. Ingestible-NAD+ brands (Wonderfeel, Tru Niagen, Renue by Science) sell capsules and patches — none of which deliver topically. TIMEBEAM is the first brand to design a coordinated stack: a topical NAD+ serum that the cells absorb at the dermal layer, plus an oral NAD+ booster that hits the systemic pathway, sold as one starter set.
The formulator is Dr. Lamees Hamdan, an integrative medical doctor who's spent two decades on the clinical side of skin-longevity. The Skinbeam Milky Serum carries the topical actives (NAD+, peptides, ceramides, resveratrol, hyaluronic acid). The Bounce Mode Healthy Pixie is the daytime NAD+ booster. The Reset Mode Healthy Pixie is the evening recovery formula. Together they make the "Glow Up Set" — the entry-tier bundle at $57 vs roughly $80 if you bought the SKUs separately.
The brand's positioning matters because it forces a category reframe. NAD+ has historically been sold as an internal-only intervention — IV drips, oral precursors, intranasal sprays. TIMEBEAM is the first credible attempt to position NAD+ as a *skin* intervention with the same scientific rigor used for hyaluronic and retinoids. Whether the topical NAD+ actually moves dermal NAD+ measurably is the open question — but the brand is at least playing the science correctly with published-research-backed actives and clinical-tier formulation.
Who this fits: longevity-skincare crossover buyers who already run an NMN/NAD+ supplement and want the topical layer, or skincare-first buyers who want a credible longevity entry into their routine without committing to a full Wonderfeel-tier supplement habit. The price-per-month is reasonable ($57 starter, ~$50-80/month for full daily-use replenishment) compared to a Function Health membership or a SkinCeuticals routine.
Skincare buyers ready to upgrade their longevity protocol to inside-out, NMN/NAD+ supplement users wanting a topical layer, anyone over 40 hunting for the next-tier above retinoids and peptides.
You're committed to a single-ingredient skincare philosophy (TIMEBEAM serums are deliberately multi-active), or you don't take ingestible longevity supplements (the bundle is less efficient if you skip the oral booster).

TIMEBEAM NAD+ Glow Up Set - buyer FAQ
Does topical NAD+ actually raise dermal NAD+ levels?
The molecular evidence is preliminary — NAD+ is a large molecule and absorption through the stratum corneum is limited. TIMEBEAM uses a delivery system (microencapsulated NAD+ with a fatty-acid carrier) that improves penetration over raw NAD+ in standard solvents. Whether this translates to clinically-meaningful dermal NAD+ elevation is an open question, but the formulation principles are sound and the actives are correctly dosed.
How is this different from a normal retinoid + peptide routine?
Retinoids and peptides target collagen synthesis and cell turnover — different mechanisms. NAD+ targets cellular energy and DNA repair. TIMEBEAM's thesis is that NAD+ is a complementary mechanism (not replacement) — you can stack it with retinoids without conflict.
Who is Dr. Lamees Hamdan?
Dr. Hamdan is an integrative medical doctor with two decades of clinical experience in skin longevity. She founded TIMEBEAM after working in clinical practice with patients on combined topical + ingestible protocols. Her formulation philosophy emphasizes science-backed actives at peer-reviewed doses.
Do I need to take the oral NAD+ booster if I already take NMN?
The Bounce/Reset boosters provide nicotinamide riboside and supporting cofactors. If you're already on NMN at clinical dose (500mg+), the marginal benefit from the additional NR boost is modest. Buyers in that scenario often use the bundle as a topical-only proposition (the serums) and skip the boosters.
