VT Cosmetics PDRN Glow Toner (Daiso version)

Both this Daiso toner and VT's retail PDRN Toner declare their PDRN ingredient concentration on the label, which makes them directly comparable: sodium DNA at 5 ppb here against 0.25 ppm — 250 ppb — at retail, a fifty-fold difference. They come from the same manufacturer and the same responsible seller, and both are registered as dual whitening and wrinkle-improvement functional cosmetics. At 5,000 KRW for 200ml this is 25 KRW per ml, against 100 KRW per ml for the 250ml retail toner at its 25,000 KRW list price. (Checked: 2026-09-07)

Specifications

Is it OK for sensitive skin?

Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: fragrance is declared; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.

How much of the key actives does it contain?

Niacinamide: rank 4 of 27; Adenosine: rank 14 of 27; Sodium DNA (PDRN): rank 26 of 27, brand-disclosed 5ppb.

Can I buy it outside Korea?

How is the Daiso version different from the original?

Same factory, far less of the headline ingredient. VT's retail PDRN Toner declares sodium DNA — the PDRN ingredient — at 0.25 ppm, or 250 ppb; this Daiso version declares it at 5 ppb, fifty times less. Both are made by E&C for VT Cosmetics and both carry MFDS dual functional-cosmetic status. The textures also differ: this one is an emulsified milk-type toner with glyceryl stearate and stearyl alcohol, and adds glutathione, hydrolyzed collagen and hydrolyzed elastin, while the retail toner is a clear water texture that adds centella extract, allantoin and betaine. Compared from both listings' own disclosures on 2026-08-31.

Is the PDRN line only sold at Daiso?

The "PDRN Glow" naming and its six-SKU line are Daiso-only, but PDRN itself is a full retail line for VT — its own store lists 43 PDRN products and Olive Young carries several, including the PDRN Toner compared here at 25,000 KRW list. So this is a Daiso-specific edition within an existing retail line, not a Daiso-only category (checked 2026-08-31).

How much PDRN is actually in it?

The label declares sodium DNA at 5 ppb, which is 0.0000005 percent, second from last in a 27-ingredient list. The ingredients carrying the product's approved functional claims are niacinamide for whitening and adenosine for wrinkle improvement, not the PDRN. VT sources its sodium DNA from cultivated wild ginseng rather than salmon.

Is it vegan certified, and does it contain petrolatum?

No vegan certification mark appears on the Daiso Mall listing or on VT's own product pages, and a site-wide search of VT's Korean store for vegan-certified products returns none. Petrolatum does not appear in the declared ingredient list (checked 2026-08-31).
