Product detailed description
Hydrogel under-eye patches · With retinal, fragrance-free
The first fine lines are starting to show under your eyes, the skin there feels dry and looks tired in the morning. VT Cosmetics PDRN Hydrogel Eye Patch are clear hydrogel under-eye patches with retinal (a vitamin A derivative), niacinamide, caffeine, peptides and hyaluronic acid. Their character comes from the formula as a whole. The PDRN in the name appears near the end of the ingredient list, and we have not confirmed its exact concentration with the manufacturer.
Because they contain retinal, at VIONE we recommend using them in the evening, starting two to three times a week and not forgetting SPF the next morning. They suit anyone who wants to add a retinoid to their eye-area hydration and is ready to introduce it gradually. Do not use them during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Type: hydrogel under-eye patches in a jar, 60 pieces, single use
- Suitable for: early fine lines under the eyes, a dry and tired-looking eye area
- Key ingredients: retinal, niacinamide, caffeine, adenosine, peptides, hyaluronic acid, PDRN (sodium DNA)
- Fragrance-free · with retinal · Eye care step, in the evening after toner, before eye cream and moisturiser
Routine step
VT Cosmetics PDRN Hydrogel Eye Patch belongs to the Eye care step. The bar shows the type of care, not the exact order: apply the patches in the evening after cleansing and toner, then follow with eye cream and moisturiser. Always use SPF the morning after.
Who the VT PDRN Hydrogel patches are for
- You are noticing the first fine lines under your eyes, especially when the skin is dry and concealer settles into them during the day.
- Your eye area looks tired and you want it to look fresher.
- You want to try a retinoid in your eye care and are ready to start slowly, in the evening and with SPF the next morning.
- You avoid fragrance because your skin reacts to it.
- You are looking for extra care alongside your eye cream for a few evenings a week, not another daily step.
When to choose something else: you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you already use another retinoid around your eyes, the skin around your eyes is easily irritated by skincare, or you want patches for the morning before makeup. For retinoid-free hydration, consider Genabelle PDRN 360° Rejuvenating Eye Mask.
Texture and skin feel
- Clear hydrogel with a raised surface: retailers describe the patches as clear, with an embossed 3D pattern, becoming even more transparent while you wear them.
- Cooling feel: retailers and reviews describe the patches as light, cooling and staying in place well.
- Fragrance-free: no perfume and no declared fragrance allergens in the formula.
- No denatured alcohol: Alcohol Denat. is not listed in the ingredients.
Tip: apply each patch straight after taking it out, as the hydrogel dries out in the air. Close the jar properly after each use and store it upright so the essence stays on the patches.
Key ingredients: retinal, niacinamide, caffeine and hyaluronic acid
- Retinal (retinaldehyde): a vitamin A derivative used in skincare for skin with early wrinkles. The brand does not state its concentration. Because of the retinal, the patches belong in your evening routine and should be introduced gradually.
- Niacinamide (vitamin B3): niacinamide may help support the skin barrier and hydration, and it is one of the better-researched skincare ingredients.
- Caffeine: may help the eye area look fresher and less tired.
- Hyaluronic acid and glycerin: humectants that bind water and help ease the feeling of tightness under the eyes.
- Adenosine and peptides (such as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5): conditioning ingredients that Korean skincare often uses in products aimed at fine lines. You can read more about adenosine and peptides in our glossary.
- PDRN (listed as Sodium DNA) and ginseng extract: additional conditioning ingredients. PDRN (Sodium DNA) appears near the end of the ingredient list. Some retailers report a very low concentration, but we have not confirmed the exact amount with the manufacturer. We therefore do not treat PDRN as the main reason to choose these patches. The overall formula, including niacinamide, humectants, caffeine and retinal, is more relevant to the decision. The retinal concentration is also unverified.
How to use VT Cosmetics PDRN Hydrogel Eye Patch
- 1. Cleanse (evening): a gentle cleanser; if you wear makeup or SPF, start with a cleansing oil.
- 2. Toner: lightly dampen your skin with a toner without exfoliating acids and let it absorb.
- 3. Patches: take out one pair with the spatula or clean hands and place it under the eye, below the lower lashes. The patches are not meant for the upper eyelid. Most retailers state a wearing time of 20–30 minutes; follow the time on the packaging. Don't leave the patches on overnight.
- 4. After removing: gently pat the remaining essence in with your fingertips. Don't reuse a pair.
- 5. Eye cream and moisturiser: seal in the hydration.
- 6. SPF in the morning: always apply sunscreen the morning after using the patches.
- Frequency: start two to three times a week and adjust according to tolerance. On the same evening, don't combine the patches with other retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA) or benzoyl peroxide.
For external use only. Keep the essence out of your eyes and do not apply to broken or irritated skin, or shortly after a peel or laser treatment.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about VT Cosmetics PDRN Hydrogel Eye Patch
The patches contain retinal. How do I introduce them without irritating my eye area?
Retinal is a vitamin A derivative, and the eye area is more sensitive than the rest of your face. Start two to three times a week in the evening and always use SPF the next morning. Test for tolerance on a small area first. On the same evening, don't combine the patches with other retinoids, exfoliating acids or benzoyl peroxide. If the area starts burning, turns red or begins to peel, remove the patches, stop using newly introduced products and return to a simple, well-tolerated routine. Consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist.
How much PDRN do the patches contain, and what can I expect from it?
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide, listed in the INCI as Sodium DNA) consists of DNA fragments. In Korea it became known mainly through aesthetic medicine, where it is injected. PDRN (Sodium DNA) appears near the end of the ingredient list. Some retailers report a very low concentration, but we have not confirmed the exact amount with the manufacturer. We therefore do not treat PDRN as the main reason to choose these patches. The overall formula, including niacinamide, humectants, caffeine and retinal, is more relevant to the decision. The retinal concentration is also unverified. Don't expect the effect of an in-clinic treatment.
How soon will I see a difference?
Your eye area may feel more hydrated as soon as you remove the patches, depending on your skin's condition and individual response. Changes in the appearance of fine lines cannot be guaranteed within a specific timeframe. Retinoids are used in skincare regularly and over the long term; patches used a few evenings a week are an addition to, not a replacement for, your daily care. Morning puffiness can be linked to sleep, diet or allergies, and skincare does not address those causes.
How long should I leave the patches on, and can I use them in the morning?
Most retailers state 20–30 minutes; the time on the packaging is what counts. Don't leave the patches on overnight. Because of the retinal, we recommend using them in the evening. If you occasionally use them in the morning, always follow with a high-SPF sunscreen.
How are they different from other under-eye patches at VIONE?
The differences are coverage, packaging, fragrance and whether they contain a retinoid. VT PDRN Hydrogel sit under the eye, come as 60 pieces in a jar, are fragrance-free and contain retinal. The closest alternative is K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Retinal Glow Eye Patch: also under-eye patches in a jar of 60, fragrance-free and with retinal, which pair the retinal with NAD and turmeric, whereas VT pairs it with caffeine and PDRN. Centellian24 360° Shot PDRN Glowing Eye Patch contain retinol and hydroxypinacolone retinoate instead of retinal and come in individually sealed pairs. Genabelle PDRN 360° Rejuvenating Eye Mask is shaped, according to the brand, to cover the upper eyelid too and contains no retinoid. Medi-Peel Hyaluron Aqua Peptide-9 Ampoule Eye Patch are retinoid-free hydrating patches, but fragranced. You will find the full selection in Eye creams & patches.
Are the patches vegan? Can I use them if I have a fish or soy allergy?
Retailers describe the PDRN in these patches as plant-derived, from ginseng, but the ingredient list does not state the source of the Sodium DNA. We have not been able to confirm a vegan source, so we cannot recommend the patches to customers who require verified vegan skincare. The formula also contains soybean sterols, castor oil and shea butter. If you have a confirmed allergy to soy, fish or any other ingredient, do not use the patches without prior advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Who are the patches not for, and when should I choose another product?
Skip the patches during pregnancy and breastfeeding, if you already use another retinoid around your eyes, or if your eye area is currently irritated, for example after a peel or laser treatment. They are also not the right choice for a morning refresh before makeup, as the retinal makes them an evening product. They are not targeted care for pronounced dark circles, which can be linked to pigmentation or visible blood vessels. If you want a simple, retinoid-free everyday routine, start with an eye cream such as PURITO Wonder Releaf Centella Eye Cream Unscented.
Can I use the patches during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No. The patches contain retinal, which is a retinoid, and retinoids are not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During this time, choose retinoid-free eye care and discuss your choice with your doctor.
What to pair the VT PDRN patches with
- ANUA Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner: a soothing toner without exfoliating acids. It dampens the skin before the patches and suits an evening with retinal.
- PURITO Wonder Releaf Centella Eye Cream Unscented: a fragrance-free eye cream with centella and peptides. It seals in hydration after the patches and is all you need on evenings without them.
- AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen SPF 50+: a zinc-based sunscreen as the last step in the morning. With retinoid care, daily SPF is essential.
Practical tip: one retinoid in your routine is enough. If you already use retinol or retinal in a serum or cream, save the patches for evenings without it, or choose retinoid-free eye care.
What the brand says
According to brand information quoted by retailers, the patches combine PDRN (Sodium DNA), retinal, peptides, hyaluronic acid and caffeine. Some retailers describe the PDRN as plant-derived from ginseng, but we have not confirmed this origin directly with the manufacturer. We have not confirmed the exact PDRN concentration with the manufacturer. Retailers also state that the patches have passed a primary skin irritation test; they do not give the number of participants or the test duration, and this does not rule out an individual reaction. The brand does not publish the retinal concentration. You will find the instructions, wearing time and period after opening the jar on the packaging. The stated claims and test results are based on the manufacturer's declarations. Individual skin tolerance may vary.

VT Cosmetics: Korean skincare with centella, Reedle Shot and PDRN
VT Cosmetics is a Korean skincare brand of VT Co., Ltd., a company listed on the Korean KOSDAQ exchange. The brand is known for its CICA line with centella asiatica and, since 2023, for its Reedle Shot line: essences with fine micro-particles applied as the first step of a routine.
Is the skin under your eyes dry, with the first fine lines showing, and do you want to add a retinoid to your evening routine without another cream? From VT Cosmetics, we stock the PDRN Hydrogel Eye Patch.
Why we chose VT Cosmetics
At VIONE, we selected PDRN Hydrogel Eye Patch, clear hydrogel patches designed for the under-eye area with a focus on hydration and skin comfort. According to the INCI consistently listed by independent ingredient databases and retailers, they contain retinal, niacinamide, caffeine, peptides and hyaluronic acid, and are fragrance-free. Before combining them with other active ingredients, always check the ingredient list and directions on your specific packaging. PDRN appears among the final ingredients in the published INCI list. We therefore recommend considering the complete formula, including retinal and hydrating ingredients, rather than choosing the patches based on PDRN in the product name alone.
If the ingredient list on your packaging includes retinal, introduce the patches cautiously into your evening routine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application time and frequency, avoid direct contact with the eyes and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Use SPF during the day. Avoid retinoid-containing products during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Who VT Cosmetics is for
- Your eye area is dry and you notice the first fine lines.
- You want retinal under the eyes in a format that does not add another cream layer.
- You want fragrance-free patches in a jar for longer use.
For hydration without a retinoid, Genabelle PDRN 360° Rejuvenating Eye Mask is the better fit.
VT Cosmetics at VIONE
- VT Cosmetics PDRN Hydrogel Eye Patch: hydrogel under-eye patches with retinal, 60 pcs, for evening care.
We do not currently stock the Reedle Shot or CICA lines.
VT Cosmetics: frequently asked questions

Yes. VT Cosmetics belongs to the Korean company VT Co., Ltd., listed on the KOSDAQ exchange. The brand is known for its CICA and Reedle Shot lines.
Do you sell VT Reedle Shot?
Not at the moment. From VT Cosmetics we stock the PDRN Hydrogel Eye Patch.
Do VT PDRN patches contain retinal?
Several available ingredient lists for this product include retinal, a vitamin A derivative. Always check the ingredients on your specific packaging, as formulations may change.

How should I choose between VT Cosmetics and K-SECRET eye patches?
Choose according to the full formula and your skincare priorities. Both are hydrogel under-eye patches with retinal: VT PDRN Hydrogel pairs it with caffeine and peptides, K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Retinal Glow with collagen, a peptide and a ceramide. The term PDRN alone is not enough to make an informed choice; the full ingredient list on the packaging is what matters.
