When my skin is stressed, applying this helps it recover faster.

The downside is... it seems like it'll run out quickly. I'll need to stock up when it's on sale.

The lightweight formula absorbs quickly without feeling sticky, leaving a refreshing finish. It's perfect to apply before makeup as it creates a smooth base. I noticed it improved my deep dryness and visibly calmed blemishes and redness. I've tried other PDRN ampoules, but this one is by far the best. The results were definitely noticeable!

PDRN 5% 액티브 앰플

The absorption is a bit slow, so it can leave a sticky feeling after application.

It definitely smooths out my skin texture and gives a noticeable boost of deep hydration.

There weren't any particular downsides, but I wish it went on sale more often.

The high PDRN content and excellent absorption make this product a great value for money. I'm quite satisfied using it.

If you're sensitive to the scent, applying a moisturizer right after can help neutralize it for more comfortable use.

For more noticeable improvements in pore elasticity, consistent use morning and evening is recommended.

There's a slight fishy scent characteristic of salmon extract, which might bother those sensitive to smells. However, it's not overpowering and fades quickly after application.

It may leave a slightly sticky residue, so you might need to wash your hands after use.

The consistency is somewhat viscous but still runny, so be careful with the amount when first using it.

Due to the high concentration of PDRN, those with extremely sensitive skin might occasionally experience irritation. It's advisable to patch test first (standard precaution).

The Leaders PDRN Ampoule contains a high concentration of PDRN (5%, 50,000ppm) extracted from salmon, which effectively improves skin elasticity, refines pores, and brightens the complexion.

Free from artificial fragrances and colorants, it's suitable for super sensitive skin. Having passed irritation tests, it's recommended for those with easily irritated skin.

At around $12 for 30ml, it offers excellent value for money.

While my usage period has been brief so far, the positive reviews and impressive ingredients list have given me confidence in this product. I'm excited to keep using it and see how it performs.

I was thrilled to snag this at a discounted price!
I apply it after my toner, in the essence step, and I'm impressed by how it glides on without any slippery feeling. It seems to give my skin a lovely glow.
As someone who's particularly interested in anti-aging products for wrinkles, firmness, and fine lines, I'm hoping this product will deliver on those fronts too. I'm looking forward to seeing the results as I continue to use it.

While I apply it to my face, I've found that dabbing it generously on the neck seems to work wonders for neck wrinkles too.

I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin types during summer. It works well for me since I have dry skin.

I bought this on a friend's recommendation with a shipping deal, and it's fantastic! It's so hydrating, and with salmon extract as an ingredient, it's perfect for dry skin. Even those with super sensitive skin can use it safely.

For someone like me with blemish-prone and oily skin, it feels too rich. I might only be able to use this before bed in winter.

It's so hydrating! The application is smooth, and I love that the scent isn't overpowering.

On the downside, the product doesn't come in a very large quantity, so you might find yourself running out rather quickly. Additionally, more dramatic effects like brightening or improving elasticity are only noticeable after prolonged, consistent use. Nevertheless, I found it highly effective as a soothing ampoule that provides hydration without causing irritation. It's definitely a product I'd reach for with confidence when my skin is feeling particularly sensitive.

On a day when my skin felt particularly dehydrated and super sensitive, I decided to try the Leaders Active Ampoule, seeking a product that could provide gentle hydration without irritation. The ampoule's consistency is just right - neither too thin nor too thick. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving almost no sticky residue. I was especially impressed by how it instantly soothed my skin, which tends to feel tight after cleansing. The immediate moisturizing effect was truly satisfying.

While you might not notice significant changes after just a day or two, I found that after about a week of consistent use, my skin texture became noticeably smoother. I also observed a slight calming effect on mild redness and flushing. It layers well under makeup without causing pilling, making it perfect for daily care without any fuss.

I tried mixing in two drops of eucalyptus essential oil
But it didn't mask the smell

However, since I really can't stand the scent
I now apply essential oil to my nose before using this
And mix a drop of tea tree oil into the essence before applying
It helps to somewhat control the smell

The scent
It's unbearable
Feels like applying the oil that seeps out of thawed frozen salmon

Deeply hydrating without any deep dryness
Minimal additives (seems to retain the natural scent of ingredients), which makes it trustworthy

After using it for a day, I'm back with an update
Previously, all the PDRN products I've used would pill when I applied makeup over them, so I thought that was just how this ingredient behaved
But this one doesn't pill at all when I put on makeup
Last night, I layered this with The Lab by Daiso hydrating cream
When I woke up in the morning, I was surprised to find my face looking glossy, as if it had been coated (POSITIVE)
However, it doesn't feel greasy at all
As someone with dry skin, I wouldn't say it provides that deep, intense hydration
In other words, while it's not drying, it doesn't give that sensation of moisture welling up from within. It's tricky to describe.

The texture is slightly slick and sticky, so it takes a bit of time to absorb into the skin. As for anti-aging effects, I can't really tell after just two weeks of use. It seems like I'd need to use it for a few months to see noticeable results.

After using it for about two weeks, I noticed my skin feels hydrated and has a beautiful glow even when I only apply the ampoule. On lazy nights when I just use the ampoule before bed, my skin still feels soft the next morning.
