New Product VT PDRN Essence 100

The scoop

If you’ve been curious about K-beauty skincare trends, Costco just made it a lot easier to try one of the buzziest ingredients out there: PDRN essence. This regenerating treatment has been taking over Korean skincare routines, and now you can grab it at the warehouse.

PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a DNA-derived ingredient that’s known for its skin repair and anti-aging properties. This VT essence comes in a 1.69 fl oz bottle and is designed to help with skin regeneration, improving texture, and boosting overall skin health. It’s the kind of concentrated treatment you apply after cleansing but before your heavier serums and moisturizers.

Here’s the real talk: at roughly $26.60 per ounce, this isn’t exactly a budget pick, even at Costco. PDRN products tend to run expensive across the board because of the ingredient’s complexity, so you’re still getting warehouse pricing on a premium product. The bottle is small, but since essences are typically used sparingly (a few drops per application), it should last you a couple months with daily use.

Bottom Line: If you’re already into Korean skincare or want to try a science-backed anti-aging ingredient without dropping $80+ at Sephora, this is worth checking out. Just know you’re investing in a specialty product—it’s pricey per ounce, but that’s the PDRN game across the board.
