Visibly reduces redness, especially beneficial for sensitive or flushed skin. • Quick absorption: The lightweight, fluid texture absorbs rapidly. Non-sticky and non-greasy, making it suitable for oily and combination skin types. • Firmness + Hydration: Possibly due to the PDRN ingredient, it gives a slight tightening sensation. Provides adequate moisture, making it suitable for dry skin as well. • Non-irritating: Gentle formula allows use even on blemish-prone or sensitive skin days.
ConsAreas for improvement: • Limited immediate effects: Improvements in skin texture and firmness are more noticeable with consistent use rather than dramatic instant results. Despite being called a 'one-day' serum, don't expect miraculous changes overnight. • Not intensely hydrating: May not be sufficient on its own for very dry skin. A cream should be added to maintain hydration. • Somewhat pricey: Considering value for money, there are many alternative products available. Best suited for those who prioritize skin-friendly ingredients and formulations.
TipMy personal tips for using MediCube PDRN One Day Serum: 1. Use as a 'firming base' before makeup • Applying before makeup smooths skin texture, allowing for better foundation application. • Important: Wait 1-2 minutes after applying the serum before adding cushion or foundation to prevent pilling. 2. Boost effectiveness by pairing with a sheet mask • Layering a hydrating sheet mask over the serum enhances absorption. • Great as an 'emergency soothing pack' for sensitive or dry skin days. 3. 'Intensive care' for bad skin days • Effective for soothing skin after popping a pimple, sunburn, or on sensitive skin days. Follow a routine of toner → PDRN serum → cream for best results. 4. Double-layer on areas needing extra firmness • Apply an extra layer on areas prone to losing elasticity like under-eyes, nasolabial folds, and neck for an enhanced firming effect. 5. Refrigerate for added cooling benefits • Storing in the fridge amplifies its de-puffing and soothing effects. Especially refreshing for morning use to reduce facial swelling.
