[anti-aging] Does topical PDRN products actually work?
I’ve been using topical PDRN products (mostly the Rejuran and VT products) pretty consistently for about a year now, mostly ampoules/mask sheets. But recently I started reading that the PDRN molecule might actually be too large to penetrate the skin barrier effectively when applied topically. Now I’m wondering whether the benefits people see are actually from the other ingredients in the formulas rather than the PDRN itself.
I’ve also tried injectable PDRN a year ago in Korea, where I noticed an immediate improvement in skin. But given that I only did it once, the results faded pretty quickly for me (~4 weeks), and it didn’t last for long.
Would love to hear from anyone who’s tried topical PDRN:
- Has anyone experienced a noticeable difference after using topical PDRN?
- Did you stop using it and notice a difference?
- Any PDRN products you’d recommend?
Not trying to bash the ingredient at all. Just curious what people’s real experiences and thoughts are, as I’m consistently looking for better skincare products.
