Editor's Review: VT PDRN Capsule Cream 100

Welcome to Editor’s Review, a series where your trusted Stylevana editor dives deep into the latest and greatest of skincare, makeup and beauty to offer you a bite-sized review. Our goal is to break down a formula for you and get you up to speed about everything you need to know about it, helping you decide whether it’s worth a spot in your routine or not. Whether you’ve got questions about the formula, the texture, the finish, we’ve got you covered.

You won’t come across a K-beauty lover’s page these days without spotting a capsule cream in sight. These dual-formula creams have become the talk of the town and every K-beauty brand is racing against each other to release their own version. A new release to this category on the Stylevana shelves is the VT PDRN Capsule Cream 100. A part of the brand’s ever-expanding Ginseng PDRN skincare range, the success of its family makes this launch a logical next move. But is this capsule cream worth your time, attention and money? Your Stylevana editor gets to the bottom of it.

Formula: The VT PDRN Capsule Cream 100 boasts an impressive ingredients list that certainly deserves your attention. At its core, PDRN stands out as a powerhouse for skin regeneration and repair, working tirelessly to enhance elasticity and rejuvenate tired skin. The PDRN used in this cream, along with the rest of VT’s PDRN collection, is derived from Ginseng, making it a vegan-friendly alternative to Salmon-based PDRN products. Complementing this hero ingredient are hydration champions like Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides, which lock in moisture and keep your skin plump and smooth. If that wasn’t enough, Niacinamide brightens the complexion while reinforcing the skin barrier, tackling uneven skin tone and dullness with finesse.

Together, these ingredients create a formula that not only hydrates but also visibly reduces signs of aging, such as fine lines and sagging. With consistent use, this cream promises to restore a youthful radiance, leaving your complexion looking revitalized and fresh. It's clear that the VT PDRN Capsule Cream 100 is designed to deliver on its age-defying promises, making it a must-try for anyone seeking to enhance their skincare routine.

Texture and finish: If you can’t keep your eyes off the captivating capsule formula, you’re not alone. The cream consists of PDRN capsules suspended in a lightweight gel that are meant to be blended together during application. When combined, you’re left with a fast-absorbing cream that has a subtle cooling effect and sinks in to leave a naturally glowy finish.

The beauty of a capsule cream is that you can customize the capsule-to-gel ratio for a blend that suits your skin needs. In need of richer moisturization? Scoop out more of the minty capsules for that hit of hydration. Prefer a lighter layer? Stick to the gel cream to avoid overwhelming your complexion.

Packaging: Open up the box to find a no-frills clear plastic jar, which your editor likes for many reasons. For one, it’s compact and non-bulky, meaning it won’t take up too much space on your countertop and is fairly easy to travel with. The see-through plastic of the jar shows off that capsule pattern and lets you scoop out capsules in their entirety for the nourishment you need. The latter is also made convenient by the wide opening of the jar, turning an eyeballed scoop into a more precise dose for the perfect capsule-to-gel ratio.

Other things to note: As mentioned above, this cream is concocted with Ginseng-derived PDRN that is suitable for use on all skin types. VT claims that due to its lower molecular weight compared to animal-derived PDRN, it absorbs deeper and quicker into the complexion to get you seeing a visible difference. The formula is made to be used in both the daytime and nighttime, making it a versatile cream to propel you towards your skin goals.

Editor’s POV: The VT PDRN Essence 100 from the same family is a personal favorite so I had high hopes for this cream; luckily, it did not disappoint. The sensorial experience of this cream sets a gold standard for capsule creams, and the glow you get from it is phenomenal. I like to use this at night at the end of my skincare routine because while rich in nourishment and skin benefits, its texture remains lightweight and comfortable. When I wake up in the morning, my skin is plump and has a glass-like glow.
