"I love a lot of the products from VT PDRN because they make it plant based, so if you care about that you can try it out. Their serum is highly recommended for dry mature skin. One thing I really like is that it's a pumping type, I like that it's small."

Viral K-Beauty vs What Koreans Actually Use: Which is better? And Why?

"Of the PDRN serums, VT is the most heavy, it feels more like a little lotion, in between a serum and a lotion, pretty thick. I love using it before makeup and I use it more for dry, mature skin. This season, in winter, I like the VT one the most. This one is also plant derived rather than from salmon, so if you're looking for something more vegan, this is it."

What You Should Know Before You Buy Viral Korean Skincare Products!

"This is very milky, not too greasy, and after I absorb it, it makes my skin the most glowy. I'd recommend it more for dry, mature skin, especially in winter. Even for my skin it can be too heavy, so I don't think I'll reach for it that often in summer. It's plant based, so if you don't want to try the salmon extract you can try this instead. It claims to have 100,000 PPM of PDRN, but it's listed last on the ingredient list, which means it's going to be a really small amount. I called them and asked and they couldn't tell me the exact number, so I don't think it's going to be that much PDRN. As a wintertime night serum it's okay for me, no problem, but some of the reviews say the packaging is leaking, so keep that in mind too."

"I think I'm still going to say the VT PDRN Serum is my favorite for me personally, even though I did like that the IOP PDRN was a gel-like serum in contrast to the creamy serum that the VT PDRN is. Both are vegan PDRN."

"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."
