What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise the serum as an effective moisturizer that delivers visible results in redness reduction, firmness, and glow. The recurring skepticism centers on whether plant-derived PDRN actually performs as advertised, since the ingredient lacks human clinical evidence and topical stability is questionable. The vegan angle is appreciated mainly as a practical benefit (no fishy smell) rather than proof of efficacy.

"As a moisturizer, I thought it was great, but I was skeptical about the PDRN. The marketing draw on that was that it was a vegan PDRN, meaning coming from Panax Ginseng. There is actually pre-clinical study at least showing that PDRN isolated from Panax Ginseng can go about doing some of the same things in vitro, pre-clinical, not on humans, that the salmon stuff does. It's a decent moisturizer, but when I think about Panax Ginseng extract, that's an ingredient that has come up multiple times in multiple products I have reviewed over the years. I'm just not buying that applying PDRN topically to the skin remains stable, gets into the cells, and binds exactly where we want it to do only what we want it to by putting it on our face in a cream."

"The VT PDRN Serum, which I've been using over the last couple of months, has given me extremely good results, especially for reducing redness on the skin and really increasing the vitality of my skin, firmness, smoothness, and plumpness. This is definitely something that helps me achieve that brighter, glowier skin."

"The VT PDRN uses a plant type of protein instead of the salmon thing. I don't necessarily know how much I think some of these plants are going to end up stacking up next to the human or the other ones or the salmon ones that are more biologically close to our skin than a plant. But if it doesn't smell like salmon, then I'm okay with it. I don't want to smell like salmon."
