BROWSE COREAGE RX SKINCAREREAD OUR REVIEWThe verdict
Renue Blue Face Serum groups NAD+, its precursors NMN and NR, methylene blue and several antioxidants in a liposomal formulation. The checked page displayed a $72 Face Serum offer and described a 28-day product-use study with 51 participants. Its most useful comparison is with other topical serums, not the brand’s oral longevity products.
This is a public-source desk review, without a skin-use test or laboratory assay. Renue gives a full ingredient list and a study population count, which help make the offer reviewable. The remaining questions concern the kind of outcomes measured, evidence for the finished delivery system and individual tolerance of a formula that lists alcohol near the beginning.
- Discloses the full formula and a 51-person use study.
- Delivery-depth claims are not independently measured here.

- The list starts with water, alcohol, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and glycerin, then includes nicotinamide mononucleotide and nicotinamide riboside chloride among other ingredients. Methylene blue, rosemary leaf oil and sodium hyaluronate also appear. Those details give a more complete picture than the highlighted NAD combination alone.

Read the base as carefully as the longevity ingredients
The list starts with water, alcohol, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and glycerin, then includes nicotinamide mononucleotide and nicotinamide riboside chloride among other ingredients. Methylene blue, rosemary leaf oil and sodium hyaluronate also appear. Those details give a more complete picture than the highlighted NAD combination alone.
Ingredient order does not tell us the exact alcohol concentration, but its presence is relevant for someone deliberately avoiding it or assessing prior reactions. A complex formula can still suit an individual; the point is to screen the entire list. We do not assume that a longevity-oriented or liposomal product is automatically gentler than an ordinary hydrating serum.
The study reports use experience over four weeks
The brand describes an independent third-party test involving 51 male and female participants over 28 days, with statistical analysis named. The displayed outcomes include participants reporting healthier-looking skin, improved quality and firmer feel. Those are useful descriptions of the reported experience, but they are not interchangeable with an objective assay of cellular NAD or a direct measurement of wrinkle depth.
We did not obtain enough complete protocol detail to establish a controlled comparison with another serum. Naming a statistical method or confidence interval does not answer whether there was a comparator or which outcomes were prespecified. We therefore retain the sample and duration as context without assigning a numerical clinical-performance score to the product.
Liposomal delivery remains a formulation-specific question
Renue explains liposomes as a way to improve stability and carry ingredients beyond the surface. That is the manufacturer’s delivery rationale. General knowledge about liposomes does not establish the behavior of every ingredient in this particular bottle, and a product-use questionnaire does not independently measure delivery depth.
The same evidence boundary applies to methylene blue and NAD-related ingredients. Laboratory or ingredient research can motivate a formulation without proving the full cosmetic outcome in routine use. This review does not infer systemic longevity benefits from a topical serum or transfer evidence from an oral supplement into a face-product recommendation.
The serum and cream are separate purchases
The page displays Face Serum at $72 and a companion Face Cream at $69, with other body and supplement products also promoted. The serum price does not include that whole system. Decide which step is actually missing from your routine before assuming the complete branded collection is needed to evaluate the serum.
The brand estimates a bottle lasts four to eight weeks depending on the amount and frequency used. That range is more useful than a fixed monthly claim, but it remains an estimate rather than our measured usage. Confirm the selected volume, purchase type and final delivered total before calculating cost per application or comparing a subscription.
What the satisfaction policy does and does not establish
Renue’s written policy invites customers to contact support for a refund or replacement for a product purchased within the previous 60 days. It is brief and does not describe every logistical detail in the captured text. Ask whether a physical return or any shipping charge applies to your particular request if those conditions affect the purchase.
The serum earns consideration for ingredient transparency and a clearly identified short-term use study. It remains an untested personal fit, with strong delivery and longevity language that exceeds what those disclosures alone establish. A buyer comfortable with the base and price can compare it as a cosmetic serum while leaving cellular and systemic claims outside the decision.
Who this is for
- You want to compare a NAD-related topical formula as a cosmetic.
- You specifically avoid alcohol or rosemary oil in leave-on skincare.
