The Gist

The Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Capsule 100 Serum 30ml Refill Set is a watery, fast-absorbing serum marketed as a PDRN-enriched hydration treatment. In practice, users report a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly and layers cleanly under makeup without pilling or residue—ideal for AM routines and warm weather.

What Korean reviewers say

Korean reviewers note the formula delivers surface hydration and works as a clean base layer, but the PDRN concentration is functionally absent (0.01%, or 100 PPM), making the “PDRN serum” positioning misleading. Multiple complaints center on an off-putting scent and underwhelming visible skin improvement despite extended use. Reviewers repurchase during sales as a safe, everyday product rather than as a transformative treatment.

Bottom line

At $34.99 for a refill set, this is a sensible budget pick if you want a lightweight, non-sticky hydration layer for dehydrated or dry skin, particularly in warm months or as makeup prep. Skip it if you expect dramatic PDRN efficacy, have oily skin prone to residue, or are sensitive to unpleasant scent—the marketing promise significantly outweighs what the ingredient list and user experience deliver.
