PDRN Essence 100.

"I would be lying to you guys if I said I do not love this product. It's actually really really good. I don't believe the PDRN in this is doing jack squat. I don't think it's anti-aging to me. I don't think it is necessarily delivering anything above and beyond, maybe it's helping a little bit with moisture retention, but it's a really nice moisturizer. After personal use, I've rather enjoyed it and would consider repurchasing it even though it was a whopping $32 for 1 oz of this stuff. The reason I like it so much is that it has a polyglucronic acid, which is a polysaccharide that's super hydrating and can have film-forming properties to reduce transepidermal water loss, so it really gives the skin this nice hydrated snappy recoil of what appears to be improved elasticity. It's got niacinamide, an evidence-based ingredient for dark spots, redness, the moisture barrier, anti-aging, and it has ceramides."

"The VT PDRN Essence uses 100,000 parts per million of low molecular ginseng derived PDRN, it's vegan, and it's enriched with five types of ceramides, polyglycolic acid, panthenol, squalane, and allantoin. It's a little bit more on the expensive side, but it's got a really nice serum kind of gel texture to it. A little bit of it goes a long way. They call it an essence, but it's more of a serum moisturizer I would call it. Very nice product and worth checking out."

"One of my favorite products and it's amazing and I repurchased that one many times. In terms of performance, you can see just how much smoother the one hand looks that I applied it to. It really does a nice job hydrating, smoothing skin, and soothing. It helps with wound healing. It does plump up skin and helps form a radiant skin moisture barrier and create a post-glow effect to provide healthy glow and elasticity to skin. I would say it helps with most of those benefits. Not exactly from the PDRN that they're naming the product off of, but more from the ceramides and the ginseng that they used. It's not super friendly for acne prone skin types. It has isopropyl myristate, polyglycerol, ceramide 3 dioleate, vitamin E, and squalane. In terms of the price, this one's starting to sneak up there. It's 30 milliliters and it's 43 bucks, which for a K beauty product is expensive."

"With a 10 being a perfect score, I gave this one an eight. It's pricey and it's not the most original product, but it's a good one. And it does give your skin a nice feel. Very nice product overall. And I think a lot of people that have tested this have had really good luck."

"It's very moisturizing, but it also makes the skin, as you consistently use it, bring out a firmness to the skin that is really nice, a firmness and a smoothness as well. With very long consistent use of this product you will see some good improvements in skin elasticity. My skin looks so much healthier, so much glowier, maybe even a little bit more glass skin, a little bit more luminous. It's bringing out this healthiness to my skin. I've noticed this from ginseng products in general over many years in K Beauty, and that's why I love the ingredient. But it's a quite concentrated benefit with this particular product because it's in combination with that isolated DNA polymer that we're getting such a beautiful anti-aging response in the skin in addition to that glowy lift-from-within look. Everything coming together, my skin is looking so good from having used this. I'm super impressed and really on board with this."

"This uses a vegan PDRN that is sourced from wild ginseng. Here in the essence they're actually using 10% ginseng PDRN. Even if you aren't totally into the PDRN part of it, this is actually just a good quality ginseng essence in my personal opinion, or a serum, quite honestly, that's how I use it, like a serum, because it is quite concentrated. It brings out that vital glow to my skin, but it also plumps and firms the skin. It actually firms the skin. It's great for anti-aging, it helps with skin elasticity. PDRN helps with skin rejuvenation and skin healing as well, and helps with some collagen stimulation. This is something that would be great right alongside a tretinoin or retinoid routine, it can be used in the same routine. I like to use this on the nights that I'm not using my retinol just to keep things simple, not because you can't combine them, but just to keep things simple for myself, to keep up those anti-aging benefits. It's a great sidekick to some of your more potent actives. I think it has a place in an anti-aging routine. This is quite moisturizing. I was actually really surprised by how moisturizing and rich this product is, but I do think it's worth it if you're looking for firmer skin and if you're into ginseng."

"I've been really excited about the VT PDRN Essence 100. I've been talking about this a lot in a lot of my skincare routines because this is truly like a daily driver for me when it comes to getting PDRN into my routines on a daily basis. This contains 10% of wild ginseng PDRN so it's a really good concentrated amount and there's no roller in this bottle. I'm going in with the essence on a daily basis because it is still moisturizing. I do like to have a little base layer of hydration on my skin before I apply it."

"I started using this towards the middle of 2024 but it just never left my skincare routine. I emptied a bottle and now I'm starting up on my second bottle and this is just so so so good. It's just so amazing at supporting skin health. It really starts more at cellular levels. It starts at the health of your skin. It starts with all the little things that help to feed the health of your skin that longterm make your skin just look healthy and dewy."

"When I do get hyperpigmentation marks, they're not as severe and they fade faster. This is the difference for me personally and why I stay loyal to this product. It is really pricey, but it also lasts a really long time. I've had bottles last five to six months, and so there's a lot of good value in here. A little bit goes a long way. VT PDRN Essence 100, Chef's Kiss. I really like the PDRN line from VT. They do use plant-based PDRN derived from Jins Singh, and I do think that the Jins Singh is what's giving this product probably the majority of the edge here. My skin just really responds well to Jins Singh itself. It really brings out a healthy vitality to the skin. It really reduces redness, inflammation. It's a strong antioxidant, very protective for the skin. It promotes skin elasticity. Everything I just said Jins Singh does, this product delivers. Plus some. Definitely helps to firm up the skin. I've noticed using this for over a year now, definitely some firmness and bounciness to the skin. It has a very dense moisturizing type of texture. This is not a watery essence. It's almost more like a thick serum. Very creamy, very moisturizing. Not going to be suitable for all skin types. But my skin, especially in cold weather, loves this."

"I'm going to use the VT PDRN Essence 100 which has a very rich, very milky creamy type of texture but it's very thick, it's not watery like at all. Because of the texture, a little bit of misting really helps the PDRN essence spread and as well as absorb into the skin."

"This is a great PDRN product. If you are interested in plant-based PDRN from VT, this is the product that I suggest you get. It uses 10% of the Wild Gins PDRN. PDRN is all about, it's one of those like complimentary ingredients that just really help your skin to behave more youthful. It helps with the processes that stimulate collagen. It helps with wound healing on the skin. Long-term consistent PDRN use can definitely help with collagen stimulation. It can help with skin elasticity. It can help with just skin firmness overall. And it also just contributes to healthier skin because your skin is just functioning more optimally because it just kind of like energizes all the cells in your skin. PDRN is an ingredient that is vague and subtle, but if you work it, it will work for you."

"I saw that they have an Essence version without the needles. I use this morning and night time I don't have to worry about that right so I can keep getting consistent PDRN into my skincare routine without the needles. What I noticed with this is just like a more rejuvenated look to my skin. This is not an aggressive product so I can use this morning and night time. It pairs with retinoids, it pairs with all different types of ingredients, it's just easy. It's also creamy and moisturizing in texture too so it's perfect for the colder weather. I'm very excited about this ingredient."

"It is derived from wild ginseng, so because it's derived from ginseng we do also have some additional benefits for antioxidant protection. It's also an anti-inflammatory ingredient that is a really good ingredient for supporting skin elasticity. That's really the biggest benefits I've noticed using this serum is that my skin does seem firmer and it also just seems so glowy and so healthy and so rejuvenated. It really does rejuvenate the skin, it really gives you that glow up, which I really appreciate. It has a really moisturizing texture, it is creamy, it's actually very thick, it actually feels pretty rich on the skin. It creates this really beautiful moisturizing nourishing creamy serum that sinks into the skin on damp skin really beautifully. Your skin is going to glow, it's going to feel really firm and plump."

"The VT PDRN Essence 100 is a really great, very thick, very moisturizing, very traditional cream textured type of essence or quite honestly for me it feels like a serum. This uses 10% of PDRN derived from wild ginseng, and I think that is the secret sauce to why I like this so much. Ginseng is amazing for skin elasticity first and foremost. It is often used in well-aging formulas because it is so amazing for taking care of your skin, for helping with skin elasticity, skin firmness, skin vitality, the glowiness of your skin. Ginseng increases skin circulation. It has given me such great results for my skin that it just makes sense to include it."

"The PDRN from VT this essence took me to glowing skin, not just clear skin. Reducing redness, helping to bring out that healthy lit from within complexion, feeding the skin barrier, keeping it nice and strong. The texture of this for my skin type, keeping a lot of moisture into my skin, keeping my skin protected from cold, harsh elements, especially in the winter time. It's made your skin look more youthful. It's made your skin look rejuvenated. It gives your skin a spa day. It makes your skin feel like fresh faced. Rejuvenated for sure, youthful for sure, but that fresh faced quality."

"I'm a big fan of the PDRN products from VT, especially the PDRN 100 Essence. I absolutely love it and really another viral product that I would recommend. It's this really gorgeous plumping, hydrating gel texture, and there's these really beautiful, perfectly precisely placed plops of this green cream inside of the gel. Those are the capsules. It's totally unique and different. And it is super fun to take your tiny little spatula and just like scoop out your little capsule, your little plop of cream with a little bit of that gel and then mix it on the back of your hand before you apply it to your face. What really surprised me is how much I actually really enjoyed this product. The texture itself is so hydrating. This gel, it's not sticky. It's actually incredibly refreshing, cooling, plumping, deeply hydrating. And then that cream capsule, as you break that into that gel texture, you get this really silky, very lightweight."

"This is the VT PDRN Essence 100 and this is also a really milky texture that I absolutely love and it's just been a really good winter essence serum. I really treat it like a serum, it's just been really great for my skin."
