Causes Allergic Reactions

Bouncy Texture

Not Sticky

Easy to Apply

The price is a bit steep, and the texture is slightly sticky, so it doesn't absorb in one go.

Skin type: Combination dehydrated
Usage period: Over 2 months
Frequency: Once a week

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I mainly apply this during my nighttime routine when my skin feels parched. The texture is delightfully rich, and you'll notice the results the very next day.

I'd recommend starting this skincare regimen in your 20s, but it's especially effective for those in their 30s and 40s. Initially, I thought the amount would be insufficient, but since it's used once or twice a week rather than daily, it's lasting longer than expected.

Overall rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I knocked off one star due to the somewhat steep price.

피디알엔 에센스 100

Despite the drawbacks, the product's performance, especially its ability to create a radiant complexion, seems to outweigh the cons for this user. They continue to repurchase despite the high price, indicating strong satisfaction with the results.

The price is quite steep... It's hard to justify buying it at full price without a sale. Also, the opaque packaging makes it impossible to see how much product is left. I've found myself about to throw away a bottle thinking it was empty, only to pump out more product. Now I have bottles I can't bring myself to discard because I'm not sure if they're truly empty. This aspect is a bit frustrating.

I'm already on my third bottle of this product! When applied, it has a rich texture but absorbs cleanly without feeling heavy or sticky. And the glow it gives is absolutely incredible! It's like an Inner Glow that radiates from within. I just can't stop repurchasing it because I can't bear to be without it.

Try incorporating this into your pre-makeup routine for a subtle, glowing complexion.

The product tends to leak, causing the cap and nozzle area to get messy with use, as shown in the photo above.

Even though the instructions say to tilt it at a 90-degree angle when dispensing, it still ends up looking like this.

I have sensitive and extremely dry skin.

First off, this product absorbs beautifully and has a milky, lightweight texture. It's fragrance-free, making it suitable for those with scent sensitivities.

It's especially handy during fall and winter - I find myself reaching for it often. After application, my skin feels supple and has a lovely glow.

It's particularly great as a makeup base, helping my cosmetics apply smoothly.

Overall, it's such a solid product that I've repurchased it multiple times, going through about 5 bottles so far.

I highly recommend this for those with dry skin types.

For maximum hydration and regeneration, cleanse, tone to refine skin texture, apply the essence, and finish with a moisturizer.
If your skin is sensitive or breaking out, try using a smaller amount for a soothing effect.
It absorbs cleanly without pilling, even when applied before makeup.

The hydration might not be enough on its own, so it's best to pair it with a moisturizer.
As it's fragrance-free, you might initially notice a slight scent from the ingredients.

This product works wonders for skin regeneration. With consistent use, my skin texture became smoother, and those pesky blemishes diminished.
The lightweight formula absorbs quickly without any stickiness, making it perfect for both morning and evening routines.
It instantly quenches your skin's thirst for hydration and significantly reduces deep dryness.
Even with my super sensitive skin, I could use it comfortably without any irritation.

As shown on the website, if you keep your palm parallel to the ground and tilt the serum container at a 90-degree angle while pumping, it doesn't seep into the crevices and dispenses well. At least for now!

The case design is unique, but it's hard to tell how much product is left inside. That's about the only drawback.
So far, I haven't experienced any issues with pumping or the product becoming watery.

Perhaps because it's made with ginseng-derived PDRN, there seems to be a slight ginseng scent. It feels a bit medicinal when applying, but the results are great.

I'm extremely satisfied with this product and use it regularly.
The texture feels rich, but it absorbs quickly when applied to the face.

It helps improve deep dryness, gives my skin a glow, and keeps it hydrated.

For even better results, try using this alongside the VT Cica Reddleshot. The combination works hard to give your skin that coveted Inner Glow.

It's difficult to check how much product is left, and the price is quite steep when it's not on sale.

I bought this for skin regeneration and firmness, and I definitely noticed my skin feeling more hydrated and plump when I woke up. At first, I thought the thick consistency might be hard to absorb, but surprisingly, it sinks in quickly despite its rich texture. However, since it's not a lightweight formula, I'd recommend using it only in your evening routine.

The product seems to be a high-quality moisturizer or essence with a thick, concentrated formula. The reviewer appreciates its texture and effectiveness, especially when used as part of a layering routine after toner. The only minor drawback mentioned is the infrequency of sales, suggesting it might be on the pricier side.

There's not much to complain about, honestly. I just wish it went on sale more often!

I tried this out on a friend's recommendation during an Olive Young sale, and I'm pleasantly surprised! It's more dense and rich than I expected, with a luxurious cream-essence texture. It works really well after using a toner.

The price is quite steep compared to the amount you get... Looks like I'll have to use it sparingly.

If you apply this after cleansing before bed, your makeup the next day goes on incredibly smoothly!

The reviewer mentions PDRN, which is a type of DNA extract used in some skincare products for its potential regenerative properties. They appreciate the glow and improved skin texture it provides. However, they note that the product might be better suited for those with dry skin, especially during warmer months.

It feels a bit heavy for summer use. I'd recommend this more for dry skin types rather than oily skin.

This is my third purchase! I initially bought it because I wanted to try PDRN, but the very next day my skin was glowing and my complexion looked so refined that I've been using it ever since. The price fluctuates quite a bit though. If you keep an eye out for buy-one-get-one-free deals, you can snag it at a great price!

지성 분들이 쓰기엔 유분이 많다고 느껴질 것 같아요

촉촉해요. 로션같은 제형이라 세럼 마지막 단계에 쓰기 딱 좋아요

It doesn't hydrate well, but it's quite rich, creating more of a moisturizing barrier. Some might like this, but it wasn't for me. I bought it hoping for a glow, and while it does give one, it feels more like excess oil sitting on top of the skin. I couldn't notice any soothing or regenerating effects either. Using it daily actually caused a lot of small blemishes, so it's too heavy for me. The container also gets dirty around the opening easily.

You can feel a nice glow on your skin, and it has a rich texture that's great if you need extra moisture in winter. I liked that it contains plant-based PDRN. I'd recommend this for those with dry skin types.

Due to its heavier texture, it's best used as the final step in your serum routine. Follow up with a cream that has a clean finish for optimal results.

While it's great for achieving a radiant complexion, the finish feels quite rich, which might not suit those who prefer a lighter feel on their skin.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin who's personally averse to fish products, I was hesitant about PDRN ingredients. But given its popularity and the fact that this product is plant-based, I decided to give it a try. I'm pleased to say it's excellent for improving elasticity and giving a glow! The texture is surprisingly thick, reminiscent of cica-infused products.
