What the gurus are saying

Unanimous yay from 3 reviewers. Mad About Skin, James Welsh, and No BS Beauty all rate it highly. Top take: "PDRN is the most popular ingredient in Korean skincare right now, but you need to be careful of concentrations, some serums have a ridiculously low concentration meaning it's not going to do a whole lot, you need a [...] high concentration to get those anti-aging benefits, boost collagen and elastin and smooth out wrinkles, and that's what you get with this one.", Mad About Skin.

"PDRN is the most popular ingredient in Korean skincare right now, but you need to be careful of concentrations, some serums have a ridiculously low concentration meaning it's not going to do a whole lot, you need a [...] high concentration to get those anti-aging benefits, boost collagen and elastin and smooth out wrinkles, and that's what you get with this one. It comes as a little ball of PDRN suspended in a hydrating serum that you shake to activate, and it gives you the nicest plumping, [...] my skin drinks it up. [...] It's the plump, it's the hydration, it's the long-term anti-aging, it's just the most beautiful beautiful product. I went through the last one in about a month because I was so lavish with it, I loved it so much. There's no stickiness, it sinks in and gives all that anti-aging goodness, [...] plumping and hydration."

"The Frankly PDRN Bounce Ball serum is more just kind of a watery texture, feels like just patting your skin with water but it's very unique. [...] I kind of like it. It feels like a nice product that you can add in because it's so watery without having to take anything else out of your routine. [...] It has salmon PDRN, which when it comes to PDRN [...] I'm not buying all the PDRN things as a miracle, but [...] I do feel a little bit more optimistic when it's something related from some of those salmon eggs as opposed to some of the PDRN from plants and things. It's got that niacinamide, soybean oil, squalane, centella. It feels really nice [...] and really kind of plumping."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
