PDRN Ampoule Korean Skin Care with Salmon DNA, Plant Based Bakuchiol, Moisturizing Bifida, and Collagen, Korean Skin Care PDRN Serum Ampoule, 35 ml (1.01 fl. oz.)

I love the texture, feels good and absorbs nicely on skin. I have gotten compliments on my skin after 3 days of using this cream. Definitely my favorite face cream.

This Ampoule is amazing! I’ve had discoloration from the sun, in two weeks they are almost gone! Exosomes are the latest and greatest, and this product has surpassed my expectations.

I was really interested in trying this serum after I looked up PDRN (Salmon DNA). Doing a little bit of research on the internet, I found that this is extracted from Salmon sperm so happy to report that no fish were harmed in the extraction process. There appear to be several clinical studies on the uses of PDRN and potential use of PDRN as an anti-aging agent for the skin. Studies seem to point to that use of PDRN potentially improve skin quality, slow down aging, and improve dermal regeneration. I was noting the price of this serum, $46.52 / Fl Oz. While this is more than I usually spend on serums, I saw many other products that have PDRN and this one is priced mid-range of a large group of serums I found.The serum is cloudy/clear and comes in a dropper style dispenser that is unique from others I have used. Rather than a rubber nipple at the top to draw from the bottle and dispense, this one has a button at the top that you press to draw serum, press again to dispense. One press/draw provides an adequate amount of serum - draw more if needed. I found no smell to the serum either sniffing the bottle or applying to my skin.I applied this to clean, dry skin after using toner and the serum had a bit of a tack until completely dry. I used this with one of my daily facial moisturizers ( I alternate between a few favs) and the first one I tried, I noticed that the combination of the 2 left my skin feeling tacky all day. I changed facial moisturizers the next time and had no tackiness. Note that none of the facial moisturizers that I used felt tacky alone or over other serums, so I think if you find this happening, try another facial moisturizer. It must be the combination of some ingredient that caused this. I knocked off a star since it took me a few tries to figure out that my moisturizer combined with the serum was causing the tack and I had not run into this before with other serums.After using this several times/days, I am not seeing differences with other serums that I use. I find this to be hydrating, smoothing but no more so or less than others. That said, it works as stated providing my skin with moisture and smooth texture and appearance.

I’ve had multiple serums, but have never tried PDRN before. I guess it’s from salmon??? Well, my first thought is that it would smell fishy. Good news: no fish smell. The scent is simply a faint fresh smell and not highly perfumed. This serum is really nice. It’s not tacky or sticky and absorbs quickly leaving behind a non-greasy feeling. Honestly, it feels like nothing except hydration. My skin is normal to greasy, but aging and I still need moisture. This serum is absolutely perfect for me. While I can’t say as to how well it will work on dry skin, I apply it to my psoriasis hands from time to time and it’s like heaven. It doesn’t irritate or sting even though my skin is broken and bleeding. Definitely recommend!

Overall, I am a fan of Korean skincare and use several in my daily routine. I've recently been reading about the efficacy of PDRN (cellular renewal) and Bakuchiol (primarily as a natural, gentler substitute for retinol), so to find both of these ingredients in a Korean serum was exciting! I'm happy to say that this product does not disappoint.This serum has the consistency and texture I've come to expect from most serums--something halfway between a watery fluid and a lotion--and there is no fragrance I could detect, save for the pleasantly botanical scent of the ingredients themselves. The push-button dropper is a clever and useful design, as the amount of product it draws up was the perfect amount needed to do my entire face and neck. I found the serum to absorb quickly and completely, leaving no tacky residue, and it worked beautifully both on its own and under makeup. I found it to be wonderfully hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and supple and looking radiant and "glowy" once it dried down.A good price for the amount of product you receive, I was surprised at how much I love this serum, and I will definitely be reordering. CU Skin is a fairly well-known brand in Korea, from what I understand, and--while not known as a luxury offering--it enjoys a good reputation. Having used this serum, I would be anxious to try some of their other products, as well. Recommended!

First I have to mention the quality of the packaging and container here--the ampoule-based dispenser top is beautifully designed and moreso, I was fooled that the container is not ceramic, such a high quality is the plastic used to hold this serum. It really looks expensive. Having said that, I am not an ampoule-applicator lover, but this one did not cause drip because the product is thick enough. The instructions say a squeeze on your forehead and each cheek, which was the minimum amount. I did apply twice as the ampoule holds just enough to cover slightly. Lovely fragrance and it did provide the moisture barrier I was looking for. I have never used plant-based bakuchiol before so am eager to see how that works as a retinol alternative. Very pleased so far.
