The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin type: combination, sensitive, reddish skin I've been curious about this product since its initial launch, and luckily I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and was able to use it for 2 weeks! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Ingredients As a sensitive skin type, I usually get pimples right away if a product doesn't suit me, but during the 2 weeks of use, I didn't experience any pimples or worsening of my skin condition. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Recommendation for oily skin I thought this would be a hydrating product, so I expected it to work well for my combination/dry skin. But when I applied it, it felt lightweight, so I think it would actually be more suitable for oily skin types. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Fragrance I prefer unscented basic skincare products, and this one had barely any fragrance, which I really liked! I read past reviews saying the scent was quite strong and unpleasant, but it seems they've improved that aspect. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Niacinamide content The niacinamide content is quite low, so this would be a good option for those new to niacinamide. However, the low content also means the typical benefits of niacinamide may not be as noticeable.
ConsThe pdrn product was quite popular and widely discussed on Twx tter, so I had high expectations for it, but I was quite disappointed.๐ฅน๐ฅน ๐ ๐ปโโ๏ธ Product Type I expected it to have a certain viscosity like other typical serums, but this product has a watery, runny texture with no viscosity at all, making it very difficult to apply. As soon as you put it on your face, it just flows down, so you have to apply it immediately after squeezing it out... This aspect may divide opinions. ๐ ๐ปโโ๏ธ Absorption / Moisture When I applied it, I felt like it just sat on the surface of my skin without being absorbed. Given its lightweight, watery formula, I felt it was lacking for my dry skin type ใ ใ It didn't provide the level of moisture I was expecting. ๐ ๐ปโโ๏ธ Amount This is also related to the product type - since it has a watery formula, I had to use a lot of it, and as a result, it felt like it was used up faster compared to other products. ๐ ๐ปโโ๏ธ Residual Feel After Application As a dry-skinned person, I prefer products that maintain a certain level of moisture without feeling too heavy. But this one didn't seem to be absorbed at all, leaving just a sticky feeling on the surface, which was disappointing. Moreover, the sticky sensation disappeared almost immediately, so I think it would be unsuitable for dry skin types ใ ใ
TipThe entire face should not be applied all at once, but rather one side at a time, to prevent it from running down. For dry skin, this product lacks moisture, so I applied an additional ampoule after using it. This seems more suitable for use in the summer than winter. Those who dislike a sticky finish may not recommend this.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is an honest review after 5 days of use. Serum features: - The formula is watery, almost like a toner. - It feels moisturizing when applied, similar to a toner. - The scent is slightly reminiscent of dog food (personal opinion). - The finish leaves the skin feeling supple. If you're looking for these effects, I recommend purchasing it! - Skin texture refinement If you want to refine your skin texture and use a lightweight serum, I recommend it! - Skin prep If you want to use it as a 'holy grail' product, I recommend it! - Lightweight hyaluronic acid serum If you're looking for a lightweight formula, I recommend it!
ConsIf you want these effects, I don't recommend purchasing it - Trouble relief effect I didn't feel the effect of trouble acne soothing. However, the redness was calmed down! - Pores, blackheads There is no effect at all on reducing pores or decreasing blackheads. - Dry skin For dry skin, I don't think you'll feel like it completely replenishes the moisture!
TipStoring it in the refrigerator and using it chilled is really great for soothing redness after toner and serum application!! The lightweight serum formula is a โ must-have item for skin care enthusiasts!!โ It's really good!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsLately, due to the weather, my already sensitive and dry skin has worsened. Compared to other hyaluronic acid serum products, this one was less irritating. There were no dramatic effects, but I did feel a slight improvement in minimizing enlarged pores when I applied it in the evening. As a person with sensitive skin, I was cautious about using firming products, but I think I could have seen better results if my skin condition had been normal. The timing just wasn't right. With continued use, the effects may become more pronounced.
ConsThere is a slight stickiness. While my skin has been quite dry lately, it hasn't been uncomfortable, but it may be a bit inconvenient to use in the summer.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe direct effect was? โ Comfortably cares for even sensitive and delicate skin โ Provides moisturization that controls tightness without greasiness โ Alleviates trouble & redness, soothes uneven skin โ Skin feels healthier and more resilient The more I used it, the more I felt my skin's innate strength was being nurtured, making me even more satisfied. Especially when my skin was troubled or became sensitive, I could clearly feel the difference when I applied it! โ For those with a weakened skin barrier that easily becomes sensitive โ For those with severe inner dryness who find heavily oily products burdensome โ For those who desperately need soothing whenever troubles arise โ For those whose skin condition is easily compromised I would highly recommend this to you!!! ๐ฐ Price range & Overall - 100% repurchase intention Honestly, the price range is a bit on the higher side, but the effects make it worth it! Sensitive skin types can't use just any product, but this serum was a soothing & barrier care item that I could use daily with peace of mind. โ Rapid and definitive soothing effects โ Lightweight yet provides reliable inner hydration โ Can be used without burden even on troubled skin ๐ Overall: โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ (5/5) - Elevated to the status of a life-changing soothing serum!
ConsThe price range is slightly on the higher side. To be honest, the price may be burdensome if used consistently. However, considering the ingredients and the effects, the product seems to be worth it! There are also opinions that the moisturizing effect is lacking when used alone. While the deep moisturizing is certain, for extremely dry skin, it may be better to apply a cream in the final step as well.
TipI recommend that you continue using it, as even just one application can make a noticeable difference in moisture levels!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis formula is extremely watery like water. ๐ง As soon as it's applied to the skin, it just flows down, so you have to catch it with your hands and spread it. For someone like me with clumsy hands, it's not burdensome at all and it's a completely non-sticky hydrating serum. This product is solely for hydration. It's a complete must-try for people who only want to replenish moisture and can't use other ingredients due to sensitive skin. I didn't even realize my skin was dry until the evening. First, I wash my face in the morning, apply this product after toner, and finish with a moisturizer. Then I just wear sunscreen instead of makeup, and my skin remained completely non-dry until the evening.
ConsStandalone use is not recommended Those who want to complete their skincare routine with just this serum alone will likely find it insufficient. Applying this alone will result in loss of moisture It's too watery It was a bit inconvenient to apply because it was too watery. It may be because I'm used to applying slightly viscous serums.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFrom Wednesday night, 3.26 to Friday morning, 4.4, I applied it twice a day for a little over a week. - Texture and application: It's extremely runny and immediately drips off, but has a slightly sticky, dense consistency. - Absorption: Surprisingly, it absorbs very quickly, so the application time is shortened. - Honestly, there's no visible difference in photos yet, and I'm not sure about dramatic effects on wrinkles or whitening. But when I apply other cosmetics afterwards, my skin definitely feels more dense and smooth. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but it seems like my pores have become smaller and there's a certain glow to my skin, so I'm very satisfied.
Cons- Absorption: The absorption is incredibly fast, which is amazing and good, but it also feels a bit sticky when applied because it's too fast. - Scent: It's not great, but it's not bad either. It's explained that this kind of scent can occur, so I think it's because of the good ingredients.
TipIt seems that it can be applied anytime, morning or night! However, it appears that separate moisturizing is necessary.

It should be spread quickly after application to prevent dripping! The absorption is much better than the previous hyaluronic acid ampoule I used - the Anua ampoule absorbs much more effectively. Using it before makeup, there was no creasing feeling, and I felt less dryness than usual, which was nice. The glass container is made of glass, so there's less concern about microplastics. This ampoule seems suitable for both oily and dry skin types.
ConsThe price seemed a bit high compared to the volume, but I understand to some extent given the cost of the PDRN ingredient and the use of glass containers.
TipBefore going to bed, applying it generously will improve your skin condition the next day.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI was curious about the product and I'm so glad I was able to try it out. After using it for about a week, this product turned out to be better than my initial impression. It has a watery, fluid texture that glides smoothly onto the skin, leaving a dewy, luminous glow. While it may not be the fastest absorbing formula, layering it on builds up a nice radiance. There is some initial dryness after just one application, but the dryness quickly dissipates. I'm not sure how effective it is for whitening and wrinkle improvement, but I know PDRN helps with skin regeneration, so it seems to be beneficial for hydration and skin renewal. I think those who are curious about this product won't be disappointed if they give it a try.
ConsWhen you apply the product and pat it gently, a slight stickiness remains. Some may perceive it as moistness, while others like myself may feel a slightly tacky sensation. The more layers applied, the more hydration and radiance is added, leaving a subtle plumpness on the hands as well. It was not an uncomfortable level, but I'm unsure how it would fare in the summer. However, adjusting the application should work if it gets warmer. I believe I will likely repurchase once I finish this product. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to try this great product. Thank you.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin type: dry (measured at the dermatology clinic) / Currently suffering from severe acne (the cause is complex; hormonal (polycystic ovary syndrome), damaged skin barrier, dryness). Currently trying to overcome acne-prone skin: taking Yasmin (birth control pill), cleansing twice a day, using water-based cleansers (cleansing water, gel cleanser) during cleansing, applying a minimum of 4g of basic skincare products twice a day (about half a fingertip's worth of cream applied 4 times), a total of at least 8g per day, taking matcha and probiotics (1 tablet). Reason for using this product: Currently only using Estrala lotion, but needed a product that would provide sufficient moisture to prevent dryness during makeup application during the day. Remembered previously using PDRN serum without any issues, so decided to apply for this product. Review after using this product: 1) Using the product for about 2 weeks has helped prevent dryness on the face. 2) There is a refreshing and cooling sensation upon application. 3) No eye irritation, skin irritation or itchiness. These were common issues with other brands' products, but this product did not cause any such symptoms, making it very comfortable to use. 4) Only needed to apply a thin layer of the product and a small amount of lotion for makeup, and did not experience any dryness. Even with powder application, there was no dryness felt. 5) For oily skin types, this product has no stickiness and provides a refreshing finish while replenishing moisture. I became addicted to this product's characteristics after using hyaluronic acid serums from other brands, as the stickiness was no longer an issue.
ConsThe package is heavy. However, I think this issue can be easily resolved by purchasing the same product in a portable version, similar to the packaging of eye drop bottles.

It was more watery and absorbed well compared to other products, and there was no stickiness. After using it, my skin became moisturized and felt quite nice.
ConsThe advantage and disadvantage is that it's too watery, so it tends to drip down easily, and it only replenishes moisture, so you need to add oil separately. However, it would likely work well for those with oily skin.
