I had one hesitation from the beginning: Is Prismatic+ enough<\/em> as the only serum in my routine to address my concerns (again, early signs of aging)? When I asked Dobos for her opinion, she affirmed my skepticism: \u201cThis could be a nice supporting product in your skin-care routine, but I don’t think it can replace proven antioxidants and retinoids.\u201d I don\u2019t see that as a downside, necessarily, as I already love cocktailing my serums\u2014the more the merrier! I\u2019ve been layering Prismatic with my usual vitamin C (I like Medik8\u2019s C-Tetra Advanced) during the day and a retinol or retinal serum at night. Reminder: Derms always say to go from thinnest to thickest consistencies, and Prismatic+ is thinner than most\u2014hence, it\u2019s the first serum I apply.<\/p>\n I appreciate how versatile Prismatic+ is; not only does it give me an incredible glow from the outset, but it\u2019s incredibly lightweight and layers well with my other skin-care products\u2014sans heaviness (especially important in the humid dog days of summer) or pilling. For one, my skin looks bouncier and feels softer to the touch after each application. It often goes through bouts of stress (dryness, dullness) whenever the seasons change, and after a month of testing the Exo-PDRN Prismatic+, my skin definitely appears overall brighter, more hydrated, and balanced. I can imagine Prismatic+ shining in the colder months, too, when my combination skin suddenly craves more moisture. Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ is the kind of formula that plays well with all<\/em> skin types. Case in point: David Kim, MD, a NYC-based board-certified dermatologist who uses Prismatic+ himself, adds that it’s \u201cgreat for acne-prone skin, especially in the summer, and layers well with salicylic acid.\u201d (Dr. Kim also loves the lightweight texture, by the way\u2014so two points for Prismatic+!)<\/p>\n I’m almost done with my first bottle\u2014time to re-up soon.<\/p>\n <\/span>Sarah Han<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n All things considered\u2014busy office days, long evenings filled with work events, choppy sleep, and everything else that life throws my way\u2014I think I take pretty good care of my skin, but I can\u2019t say skin care never falls to the wayside. On days I fall asleep before doing my full nighttime routine (including Exo-PDRN Prismatic+), my skin looks a little duller come morning. But a few pumps of this serum later, and my skin instantly perks up. It\u2019s been a satisfying, glow-inducing addition to my skin-care routine, and I look forward to maintaining said glow in the coming months and reupping my supply of Prismatic+ when I run out. Moreover, whenever I\u2019m at my derm\u2019s office (Hi, Dr. Kim!) for my next round of Clear + Brilliant, I\u2019ll be reaching for this as a post-laser treatment to soothe and intensely hydrate my skin. If you\u2019re looking for a deeply hydrating serum that restores glow and bounce and makes your skin look healthier week after week, I can\u2019t recommend Exo-PDRN Prismatic+enough.<\/p>\n Medik8<\/p>\n When Allure<\/em> tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that’s included in each and every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients and formulas.<\/p>\n For our review of the Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+, we considered the product’s performance across five primary categories: product ingredients and efficacy, packaging, fragrance, texture, and product wear\u2014along with special consideration from a cosmetic chemist and board-certified dermatologist. To learn more information on our reporting and testing processes, read our complete reviews process and methodology page.<\/p>\n A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure<\/em> wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors\u2014in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon\u2014is essential to reaching that goal.<\/p>\n After all, can we really<\/em> say a skin-care product is the “best” for people over 50 if the only testers we’ve solicited opinions from folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it’s never been tested on curls? We’re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe results<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
