What is this product?

VT's PDRN Capsule Cream 100 is a peptide and hyaluronic acid moisturiser to buy for those two things, not for the PDRN in its name: the salmon DNA it is built around is disclosed at 0.5 ppm and printed fortieth of 60 ingredients, which is a token amount. What sits behind it is more substantial, nine peptides running consecutively at the end of the list and eight different hyaluronic acid forms. Nothing in the 60 is a fragrance or a declared allergen, though a chamomile flower oil at position 36 is a genuine essential oil.

What makes it different?

The thing to know is that VT sells two similarly named creams side by side on its own store, and they are different formulas: this one, PDRN Capsule Cream 100, and PDRN Cream 100, which is an azulene and ceramide soothing cream. Their ingredient lists diverge from the third entry on, so a shopper reading a review of one may not be reading about the other. What separates this one inside its own category is density of two families rather than strength of any single active: nine peptides including copper tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 close the list back to back, and eight hyaluronic acid forms run through the second half. Against that, the headline PDRN is the weakest thing in the formula at 0.5 ppm. Five fatty alcohols give it slip and body without any drying alcohol anywhere in the 60.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 2 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredient

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: 마트리카리아꽃오일, 카프릴릭/카프릭트라이글리세라이드, 시어버터, 폴리글리세릴-2스테아레이트, 해바라기씨오일, 글리세릴스테아레이트, 하이드로제네이티드레시틴, 폴리글리세릴-10라우레이트

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 2 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
