Anua's PDRN Caffeine Rejuvenating Eye Cream, priced at $20, is gaining attention for its ability to make under-eyes appear more rested and hydrated. The formula utilizes PDRN, a DNA fragment known in Korean skincare for its potential to improve skin elasticity and smoothness over time, and caffeine, which helps temporarily constrict blood vessels to reduce puffiness and create a more awake appearance.
Victoria McDonnell, a commerce journalist for the New York Post, noted the cream's silky texture that hydrates without leaving a greasy residue. It also layers well under makeup and sunscreen, preventing pilling or smudging. A small amount of the product is reported to be effective, making the $20 price point notable.
McDonnell's experience over several weeks of use indicated softer fine dehydration lines, smoother and more hydrated under-eyes, and reduced puffiness. Concealer reportedly sits more evenly after application. When used in conjunction with Anua's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream, the combination is described as a significant improvement for skin health.
The eye cream is exclusively available at Ulta Beauty. PDRN is highlighted as a key ingredient in Korean anti-aging skincare, prized for supporting skin repair and overall skin health with consistent use, particularly for the sensitive eye area.
