PDRN/TikTok trend and ingredient hype
Many buyers purchased after seeing PDRN essences trending on TikTok or being called 'Botox in a bottle,' driven by curiosity about the ingredient's anti-aging reputation.
Repurchase and brand loyalty
A large share of reviewers explicitly mention this being their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th bottle, indicating strong repeat-purchase behavior and trust in the VT brand.
Bundling with Reedle Shot / Beauty Box
Numerous reviews mention receiving the essence in an Olive Young Beauty Box or buying it as part of a set with the VT Reedle Shot microneedle serum, which drove trial purchases.
Anti-aging and elasticity claims
Reviewers, especially those with mature skin (40s-70s), bought it hoping to reduce fine lines, improve firmness, and slow visible skin aging.
Sale/discount pricing
Several reviewers noted buying during VT sale events or with discounts, citing good value despite calling the full price 'expensive.'
