PDRN essence for hydration and barrier support; gives glassy glow.

What the community says

A milky essence-serum that layers after toner and gives hydration, glow, and a calmer-looking barrier. People with dehydrated, retinoid-stressed, or dry skin seem to love it. The texture can feel underwhelming or too slick for some.
