Verdict

A rich, milky essence using ginseng-derived plant PDRN alongside niacinamide, ceramides, panthenol and emollients. It provides a moisturising glow and may function more like an emulsion than a water-light essence.

Best for: Vegan PDRN users seeking hydration and glow
Less suitable for: Very oily or highly clog-prone skin that reacts to isopropyl myristate or richer emollients; users wanting a nearly weightless serum; anyone sensitive to ginseng or niacinamide.

Who this suits

VT COSMETICS PDRN 100 Essence is an essence supplied in a 30ml size in pump bottle. Texture: Smooth, milky and emulsion-like. Finish: Nourished, glossy and moisturised; richer than most essences. On the formulation we hold, it is best suited to vegan PDRN users seeking hydration and glow. It is less suitable for very oily or highly clog-prone skin that reacts to isopropyl myristate or richer emollients; users wanting a nearly weightless serum; anyone sensitive to ginseng or niacinamide. Manufacturer usage guidance: After toner, apply a small amount to the face and pat gently. For oily skin, use one thin layer and assess whether a separate moisturiser is needed. For dry skin, follow with cream. Suitable morning or evening.
