Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This hydrogel delivers noticeable plumping and smoothing, leaving skin visibly firm and glowing. Reviewers found it particularly calming for redness, with measurements dropping from 15 to 7 and chronic nasal redness disappearing entirely. The vegan PDRN formula contains a full bottle's worth, infuses deeply into skin rather than sitting on the surface, and for best results should be left on until it clears.

    "The VT PDRN Hydrogel Mask, yes, for a hydrogel mask. I've only used it once, but I feel like it actually kept my skin moisturized and plump."

    "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 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."

    You Put WHAT on Your Face?! | PDRN the Hottest Trend in K-Beauty
    "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."

    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.
