PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Anua's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing hydrator that delivers a glassy glow without greasiness, ideal for acne-prone or damaged skin. Professional makeup artist CYoung notes it has the lowest PDRN percentage and feels more like a hyaluronic acid serum, but recommends it for all skin types including oily and combo. Consistent use is needed for results, and some users question if the PDRN is medical grade.
