Useful if: choose it if you want a large format toner with a gel texture rather than a very watery first layer. Note that retinal is listed in the formula.
What makes the texture different?
This is a gel toner rather than a thin water style toner. The thicker texture gives it more body on application, while the directions still place it directly after cleansing before serum and moisturiser.
If you normally prefer very light toners, the gel consistency is the main thing to consider before buying. If you like toner and essence textures that feel more substantial, the format may make more sense.
What is in the formula?
The ingredient list includes sodium DNA, ceramide NP, sodium hyaluronate, collagen, gluconolactone, zinc PCA, centella and retinal. The PDRN story is described as plant derived by the brand and retailers rather than salmon derived.
Retinal is a retinoid ingredient, so check the rest of your routine if you already use retinol, retinal or other strong treatment steps. The presence of PDRN branding does not make the product equivalent to injectable polynucleotide treatments.
Where does it fit in a routine?
Apply it after cleansing and gently pat it into the skin, then follow with serum and moisturiser as needed. Its 270ml size is also much larger than many treatment serums, which reinforces that it is intended as a toner step rather than a concentrated dropper treatment.
