The Ordinary
Lacto-PDRN 4% + B9 Eye Cream

Freddie’s takeUsing a vegan, biotechnology-derived alternative to salmon and pairing it with film-forming technology for an immediate tightening and smoothing effect makes this one of the more interesting PDRN launches I’ve seen this year. And at £8.70, it brings one of beauty’s most talked-about technologies into truly accessible territory.
Where to buy
What it does
Instantly tightens and smooths the eye area with film-formers, alongside longer-term treatment benefits from 4% Lacto-PDRN and vitamin B9
Who should consider it
Anyone curious to try around the eyes without the premium price tag, or who wants an instant smoothing effect alongside longer-term care.
