"Let me give you an example, the Medicube PDRN Serum. This is soothing and non-irritating, so it's one of the peptide products you can use right after micro needling without it stinging."

"I tried the new disposable Medicube PDRN Serum, it has a little scent but not too crazy, and a thick texture that kind of films on the skin. If you have oily combo skin it can feel kind of heavy, but if you use the massage device with it, it slides in really well and goes inside nicely. The PDRN amount is a lot higher compared to Anua, and it feels bouncy, which makes it great to use as a makeup primer."

Blind Testing 16 Viral Serums 💥 Which Ones Are Worth It?!
"Everybody recognized this one because of its pretty pink color, it was a surprise hit, two testers picked it as their top choice. One loved the pretty pink color and how smoothly it glides, perfect for her beauty devices, no problem for oily skin either, it felt clean not sticky. Yuna, with sensitive skin, said it felt lightweight but super hydrating and the scent was just right. For me, this brand feels like a marketing company more than a cosmetic company, they make so many products and it's appealing on TikTok but maybe not in real life. But I'll admit this serum they made is okay, it has a lot more PDRN in it compared to the Anua PDRN Serum, and even on my dry mature skin it felt pretty hydrating, they also do buy one get one promotions a lot at Olive Young. If you're curious about PDRN and want to try it, I'd say this isn't a bad choice, and it's cute too."
What You Should Know Before You Buy Viral Korean Skincare Products!
"This is so Instagrammable, the color is pretty pink, and since salmon extract smells a little fishy they added fragrance, not too strong, bearable. It contains PDRN at 10,000 PPM, which is 1 percent, a pretty high percentage, and also niacinamide, peptides, and coenzyme Q10, so it's really good as an antioxidant. It absorbs pretty quickly, but the texture isn't super light, and I like that. If you're dry, mature skin over 40, starting to get aging and your skin is getting thinner, you'll like it even more."

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.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
