What the gurus are saying

Plump, glowy skin is what keeps coming up with this PDRN hydrogel mask, and reviewers noticed calmer, less red skin too. The PDRN is vegan, derived from wild ginseng, which earns a nod, and the mask turns clear as the hydration melts in. It does ask for time: you wear it for a couple of hours or sleep in it.

"This is the PDRN Hydrogel Mask from VT Cosmetics. Even though I've been a bit of a skeptic of this category, the hydrogel masks you sleep in, [...] this one is my favorite that I've tried so far. I [...] like that it's vegan PDRN, since most PDRN isn't vegan. Using my skin analysis device [...] before and after, [...] dryness dropped by thirteen points, which is exactly what I expected, but [...] redness went from fifteen to seven, which surprised me."

"This mask really plumps, smooths like everything I said about the RLE Shot smoothing texture, plumping the skin, making your makeup glide on like a dream like you're going to walk around like a glowy goddess right the next day, that's what this mask does, it just amplifies that. Plus it's a really nice experience to spend a little bit more time masking and just like really pampering your skin. It's going to feel so smooth afterwards."

Are Hydrogel Masks Really Better than Sheet Masks? | AD ft. VT

"This hydrogel is infused with PDRN, which is a DNA polymer that VT is deriving from wild ginseng, so it's totally vegan. PDRN can actually help to stimulate collagen, so it's particularly good for anyone with well-aging goals to help address fine lines and wrinkles and really those looking to rejuvenate their skin and get it looking more youthful. It's anti-inflammatory, it's antioxidant, and it also helps with skin elasticity as well. [...] You don't need to use this with an rle shot at all."

7 Things that Happened to my Skin Using PDRN | AD ft. VT

"You can see how the mask is turning clear, this is all of the chewy dewy hydration melting into my skin. This is infused deep into my skin, this absolute beautiful glow. The light is just bouncing off my skin and it feels so firm, so plump, and so smooth. It's so soft and incredibly moisturized. One of the things that happened to my skin since using PDRN is so much less redness on my skin, and the PDRN has this calming soothing effect on my sensitive skin."

PDRN Skincare That ACTUALLY Works! | 2025 Update

"This is one of those masks that you wear for a couple of hours or you could sleep in and it slowly infuses into your skin over time to really plump it, give you incredibly glowy, glossy, glass skin effects. And especially with the PDRN's ability to really get that good quality going in your skin, that healthiness in your skin, plus the dewiness and the plumpness that you get just from the hydrogel experience alone. It's a real beautiful match made in heaven in my personal opinion."

"These use their centella four times complex which is basically using the whole centella plan including Asiatic acid"

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.
