Yay or Mixed?

Yay
I really do like it. I think it has a very nice lightweight effect to the under eye skin, but it's not going to be the heaviest of eye cream. The one thing that it does do, which can be a double-edged sword, it does have a fine film forming effect.

I don't necessarily know if PDRN is the next best thing. [...] Copper peptides really were a game changer for me, azelaic acid too, but PDRN is not one of them. I don't dislike it, but I have yet to find one that made me think, 'Wow, I look younger after using it,' even trying it monthly.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
