Struggling with tired-looking skin, fine lines, or a loss of firmness that leaves your complexion looking dull? This essence is designed for those who want to move beyond basic hydration and target the building blocks of healthy skin. It uses a plant-based PDRN from wild ginseng to deliver intensive nutrition, helping to improve skin elasticity and restore a natural, healthy glow without feeling heavy or greasy.

• What it is: A concentrated, fast-absorbing essence for elasticity and radiance.
• Who it's for: Best for normal, combination, dry, and mature skin types concerned with signs of aging, dullness, or poor texture.
• What it does: Helps improve skin firmness, refines texture, and provides deep, lasting hydration for a vibrant, healthy-looking complexion.

1. Cleanser — Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. VT PDRN Essence 100 — Apply 2-3 drops to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM) — Lock in the essence and protect your skin.

Note: Already own a similar serum or essence? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3-4 steps):

1. Cleanser
2. Hydrating Toner (Optional)
3. VT PDRN Essence 100
4. Sunscreen (SPF 30+)

Wait Times: Allow about 30-60 seconds for the essence to absorb before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser (use an oil cleanser first if removing makeup or water-resistant SPF)
2. VT PDRN Essence 100
3. Moisturiser

Optional: On nights you don't use other strong actives like high-strength retinoids, this essence can be layered before your final cream. Its soothing properties can complement an active routine.

Texture Rule: Apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency.

Daily Use — AM and/or PM:

• Amount: 2-3 drops (or 1-2 pumps) for the entire face and neck.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed and toned skin.
• Method: Smooth gently over the skin, then lightly pat with your fingertips to encourage absorption.
• Frequency: Start once daily (e.g., in the PM) to see how your skin responds. If well-tolerated, you can use it both morning and night for enhanced results.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin is very dry: Layer this essence under a richer, ceramide-based moisturiser to lock in hydration.
• If your skin is combination/oily: The lightweight texture should absorb well. You may find it provides enough moisture on its own on very humid nights, or you can follow with a light gel-cream.
• If your skin is sensitive: Patch test first. Apply after a calming toner to buffer your skin.
• If you use VT Reedle Shot: The brand recommends applying this essence after the Reedle Shot at night to nourish the skin.

Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs and persists. For adult use. If you have a known fish or ginseng allergy, please patch test carefully.

This essence is gentle enough for daily use, both morning and night. It fits easily into a routine with other weekly treatments.

Example Week (PM Focus):

• Mon: VT PDRN Essence 100 + Moisturiser
• Tue: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) + Soothing Moisturiser
• Wed: VT PDRN Essence 100 + Moisturiser
• Thu: Retinoid (if using) + VT PDRN Essence 100 (can be layered before to buffer) + Moisturiser
• Fri: VT PDRN Essence 100 + Moisturiser
• Sat: Soothing/Hydrating Mask Night
• Sun: Retinoid (if using) + VT PDRN Essence 100 + Moisturiser

Rule: One strong active per night is safest. PDRN is not a strong active and can be used on the same night as retinoids or exfoliants to help soothe and repair, but listen to your skin.

Mauritius Note: In the humid summer, 2 drops might be sufficient. During the drier, cooler winter months, you can use 3-4 drops for extra nourishment.

• Immediate: Skin feels hydrated, moisturised, and appears to have a healthy glow. The rich texture provides an instant feeling of nourishment.
• 2-4 Weeks: Skin texture may appear smoother and more refined. Overall complexion looks more vibrant and less dull.
• 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, skin may feel firmer and more elastic. The appearance of fine lines may be softened.

Individual results vary. Consistent daily use and sun protection are key to seeing benefits.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrators: Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Panthenol. Layering this essence over a hydrating toner enhances its moisturising benefits.
  • Antioxidants: Vitamin C, Niacinamide. Can be used in the same routine (e.g., Vitamin C in AM, PDRN in PM) to protect and repair.
  • Retinoids: Can be used before a retinoid to buffer the skin and reduce potential irritation, or on alternate nights.
  • VT Reedle Shot: The brand specifically recommends using this essence after their Reedle Shot products to maximize absorption and provide nourishment.
• Use Carefully With:
  • High-strength exfoliants (AHA/BHA): While compatible, avoid applying immediately after a strong peel. On exfoliation nights, you can apply this essence after the acid has fully absorbed to help soothe and repair the skin.

• Ideal For: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Mature skin types.
• Good For: Dehydrated skin, even if it's oily on the surface, as it helps balance moisture without feeling greasy.
• Use with Caution:
  • Extremely Oily Skin: The texture is described as rich. While it absorbs well, those with very oily skin might prefer it for nighttime use only. Patch testing is advised to ensure it doesn't feel too heavy.
  • Acne-Prone Skin: Contains Isopropyl Myristate, which has a high comedogenic rating. If you are prone to clogged pores, a patch test on a small area is essential before applying to the full face.

• Loss of elasticity and firmness
• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dehydration and inner dryness
• Uneven or rough skin texture
• Compromised skin barrier

Key Actives Explained:

• PHYTO PDRN®PANAX (Panax Ginseng Root Extract): A plant-based PDRN derived from wild ginseng. PDRN (Polydeoxyonucleotide) provides the building blocks for cellular repair, helping to stimulate skin regeneration, improve elasticity, and promote a healthier complexion. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps brighten the skin, improve uneven skin tone, refine the appearance of pores, and strengthen the skin's barrier. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Cerasome Complex Plus: A complex likely containing ceramides, which are lipids that form the skin's natural barrier, helping to retain moisture and protect against environmental stressors. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Polyglucuronic Acid: A polysaccharide that provides deep and lasting hydration, helping to smooth and refine skin texture. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Panthenol: Also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, it's a humectant that attracts and holds moisture, while also soothing and helping to repair the skin barrier.
• Squalane & Allantoin: Emollients and soothing agents that help to condition the skin, leaving it soft and calm.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. The brand states it contains no artificial fragrance.
• Scent Profile: Users describe it as unscented or having a very mild, natural scent from its ingredients.
• EU Allergens: None declared in the provided ingredient list.
• Potential Irritants: Contains Isopropyl Myristate, which can be comedogenic (pore-clogging) for some individuals. A patch test is highly recommended for acne-prone skin.

• Who should use with caution: Individuals with very oily and acne-prone skin should be cautious due to the presence of Isopropyl Myristate. Anyone with a known allergy to ginseng should also avoid this product.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: There is insufficient published data on the topical use of PDRN during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is best to consult with a doctor before use.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning. If any reaction occurs, discontinue use.
• General Safety: This product is for external use only. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A dense, rich, yet thin essence. Described as a white, moisturising serum that absorbs quickly without a sticky or greasy feeling.
• Finish: Leaves the skin feeling firm, hydrated, and with a healthy, radiant glow.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains several ingredients that are not considered FA-safe, including Isopropyl Myristate, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil. Not recommended if you are treating fungal acne.

• Issue: The essence feels a bit heavy.
  • Solution: You might be using too much. Reduce the amount to 1-2 drops. Alternatively, apply it to slightly damp skin to help it spread more thinly and absorb better. For oily skin, consider using it only at night.
• Issue: I'm breaking out after starting this product.
  • Solution: Discontinue use immediately. This product contains Isopropyl Myristate, which can clog pores in some individuals. Switch to a lighter, oil-free serum.
• Issue: I don't see results after a few days.
  • Solution: Skincare targeting elasticity and texture takes time. Consistent use for at least 4-8 weeks, combined with daily sun protection, is necessary to see noticeable improvements.

• Humid Summer: The fast-absorbing texture is suitable for Mauritius' humid climate. On very hot and sticky days, combination or oily skin types might find this essence provides enough moisture to be used with just sunscreen in the AM.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: During the cooler, drier months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned spaces, this essence provides an excellent layer of nourishment. Follow up with a good moisturiser to seal in the benefits and prevent dehydration.
• Sun Exposure: PDRN is excellent for helping to repair and regenerate skin, making it a great addition to a routine in a high-UV environment like Mauritius. It helps support the skin's health, but it is not a substitute for daily sunscreen.

• Ingredient Rationale: The benefits claimed for this essence are based on the well-documented properties of its key ingredients. Clinical studies on PDRN as an ingredient show it can activate adenosine A2a receptors, which helps stimulate cell growth, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair. Niacinamide and Peptides are also backed by extensive independent research for their brightening, barrier-supporting, and anti-aging benefits.
• Brand Claim: VT Cosmetics claims this essence improves skin vitality, elasticity, and radiance through its proprietary PHYTO PDRN®PANAX and Cerasome Complex Plus. No public, product-specific clinical trial data is available for independent verification.

This product contains PHYTO PDRN®PANAX, a plant-based PDRN derived from wild ginseng, making it a vegan-friendly alternative to traditional salmon-derived PDRN. This reflects a conscious choice by the brand to innovate with plant-based actives.

• Size: 30 ml
• Estimated Uses: A 30 ml bottle contains approximately 600 drops. At 3 drops per application, you get around 200 uses.
• Reorder Cadence:

This essence is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are loss of elasticity, dullness, and improving overall skin health and texture.

However, consider these alternatives from our catalog if your goals are different:

• For Aggressive Dark Spot Correction: Anua NIACINAMIDE 10%+TXA 4% SERUM 30ML — Choose this if your main priority is fading stubborn hyperpigmentation, sun spots, or post-acne marks. Its high concentration of Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid is specifically formulated for this purpose.
• For Potent Wrinkle Reduction (Retinoid): Beauty of Joseon REVIVE EYE SERUM : GINSENG + RETINAL 30ML — Choose this if you want to target wrinkles with a more powerful, vitamin A-based active. Retinal is a potent retinoid known for its anti-aging efficacy. It can be used on the full face (introduced slowly).
• For Pore Minimizing & Sebum Control: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Fresh Ampoule 30ml — Choose this if your main concerns are enlarged pores and excess oil. It's formulated with ingredients like Pink Himalayan Salt to help clarify pores.
• For Pure Soothing & Calming: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA AMPOULE 30ML — If your skin is highly sensitive, irritated, or reactive, choose this 100% Centella Asiatica extract ampoule to focus purely on calming inflammation and strengthening your skin barrier.

Mindful Use: If you already have a comparable regenerative serum at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you get a fair assessment of its results and reduces waste.

• Format: 30ml glass bottle with a pump dispenser.
• Hygiene: The pump dispenser is hygienic, preventing air and bacteria from contaminating the product.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The glass bottle is recyclable. Please rinse it out before placing it in your glass recycling bin. The plastic pump and cap should be disposed of in the general trash.

Aggregated sentiment from online platforms. Note that individual experiences may vary.

• A user with dehydrated, sensitive skin noted that the essence "instantly fixes deep dryness and maintains the perfect oil and moisture balance... It doesn't feel greasy at all!" They found it effective for creating an inner glow but wished for a larger size for the price. (Hwahae Review, 2024)
• Another reviewer mentioned that the "thin texture absorbs quickly" and helps with "skin hydration and regeneration, making your skin moisturized and firm." They suggested that those with very dry skin might need to layer it for sufficient hydration. (Hwahae Review, 2024)
• One user with dry and sensitive skin found the serum to be on the richer side, perfect to use as a final serum step. They appreciated that it "doesn't evaporate quickly." (Hwahae Review, 2024)
• Fair Caveat: Some users with extremely oily skin noted that the rich texture could potentially lead to blemishes, and those with acne-prone skin should be mindful of the comedogenic ingredient Isopropyl Myristate. (Hwahae Review, 2024)

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with 100% authentic K-beauty products, sourced directly from official channels in South Korea. We believe in empowering you with truthful, beginner-friendly information to make mindful choices for your skin. Your trust and skin health are our top priorities.

1. What is PDRN and where does it come from?
PDRN stands for Polydeoxyonucleotide, which are DNA fragments that help support skin's natural repair and regeneration processes. While traditionally sourced from salmon, the PDRN in this specific VT essence is plant-based (vegan), derived from wild ginseng.

2. Is this product safe for acne-prone skin?
This essence contains Isopropyl Myristate, an ingredient that can be pore-clogging for some individuals. If your skin is highly prone to acne or clogged pores, we strongly recommend patch testing this product on a small area (like your jawline) before applying it all over your face.

3. Can I use this with Vitamin C or Retinol?
Yes, PDRN is generally compatible with other active ingredients. It can be a great supporting product in a routine with Vitamin C (used in the AM) or Retinol (used in the PM). Its soothing and regenerative properties can help buffer the potential irritation from stronger actives.

4. Will this help with my acne scars?
PDRN's regenerative properties can help improve overall skin texture and support the healing process. Over time, this may help soften the appearance of atrophic (indented) acne scars by promoting healthier skin structure. For hyperpigmentation (dark marks), it should be paired with a dedicated brightening ingredient like Niacinamide or Vitamin C.

Best For: Individuals with normal to dry, mature, or dull skin looking to improve firmness, elasticity, and overall radiance with a nourishing, regenerative essence.

Key Benefits:

• Improves skin elasticity and firmness.
• Provides deep, lasting hydration and a healthy glow.
• Refines and smooths skin texture.
• Vegan-friendly PDRN from ginseng.

Keep in Mind:

• Contains an ingredient that may be pore-clogging for highly acne-prone individuals. A patch test is essential.
