Korean beauty or K-beauty , as its better known dominates much of the skin care world and community, especially on TikTok , where beauty obsessives regularly come together to surface and share some of the most trailblazing products. One find in particular that people have gone wild for is the Iope Bio-PDRN Caffeine Face Shot serum. One beauty TikToker and self-proclaimed K-beauty enthusiast, Ashley Mixon , calls the serum filler in a bottle, a hero product and lifting. Its also become a HuffPost reader-favorite and today, you can grab two for an extra $5 off, dropping each bottle down to just $47.50 a piece the first sale weve seen on this stuff since July Prime Day.
Mixon , previously made a TikTok video speaking about the Korean brand Iope . According to her, Iope is allegedly also the brand behind famed cushion foundations and other innovative beauty goods.
(Note: HuffPost reached out to Mixon and found she does receive compensation from Iope, but only from her affiliate link and not from the brand directly.)
Mixon isnt the only fan of the Bio-PDRN Caffeine Face Shot . Many reviewers claim this typically $50 serum has made their skin smoother, helped improve hormonal acne, reduced the appearance of fine lines and even become a replacement for Botox and prescription-strength retinoids like Tretinoin. (It should be noted, however, that dermatologists say no at-home treatment can ever be as effective as Botox .)
Mixon and Iope attribute these kinds of alleged results to an ingredient called PDRN , an anti-inflammatory and tissue-repairing proprietary drug that is normally injected in the hopes of improving the overall skin appearance and skin firmness of the recipient. Normally extracted from the sperm cells of salmon, Iopes version of PDRN is developed from plants, so the formula is completely vegan.
In addition to plant-powered PDRN, the serum also contains a more recognizable combination of ingredients like niacinamide a versatile antioxidant that many swear by for everything from brightening skin to managing redness and probiotics, an unlikely ingredient that dermatologists have previously told HuffPost can do wonders for keeping skin healthy and strong.
And if youre wondering what caffeine is doing in your skin care and not your latte, there is some evidence to support that, due to its antioxidant properties, topical applications of caffeine may aid in reducing the appearance of wrinkles caused by sun damage.
It contains 20,000 ppm (parts per million) of caffeine, which is one-eighteenth the size of collagen, so yes it does penetrate into the skin! Mixon told HuffPost via email.
The brand says that to use the serum, just apply three to four drops after your toner and before creams and moisturizers. Mixon said that it can be used day or night and doesnt interfere with other products or other active ingredients that you might be using.
Miraculously, you dont have to travel to Korea to get yourself a bottle of the Bio-PDRN Caffeine Face Shot. You can head right to your trusty virtual shelves of Amazon (or any of the other above listed retailers) in order to see what all the hype is about for yourself.

Promising Amazon reviews:
Was skepticalHowever, after one week, I am hooked! It takes years off! A bit pricy BUT SO WHAT? You are worth it treat yourselfnot as costly as Botox! Jeanette
I started with the moisturizer, and within two weeks, I saw a dramatic difference. So I started to collect all the other skin care products this company makes. Adding the serum, made a huge difference. I saw a difference in the tone and tightness of my skin almost immediately. Im 71, and I am trying to figure out how to add a picture of myself, because I am told that I look a good 15 years younger than my age. I attribute this to beginning a good skin care regiment in my early thirties. Over the years, Ive bought most high end brands, paying sometimes triple the cost of this line. This beats every brand Ive ever tried. Im thrilled to have found it, It will be my forever skin care line. Marina Christina Marsh
Ive been using this serum for two weeks and Ive never seen a product perform like this. My skin looks brighter, firmer, clearer, and younger! Ive been getting Scarlet, BBL and Moxi treatments over the past year and saw the most dramatic difference with this above anything else. Cant say enough how hooked I am on this stuff. Just ordered their toner and moisturizer, too. AND I have freckled, pale skin that reacts immediately to irritants and this was like putting a pure, magic gel on my skin. No scent at all and zero bumps or irritation. Honestly, if youre over age 35 this is a must-try product! Tanya Rose

As its name indicates, this retinol serum is meant to bring the bounce back to sagging skin. IOPE formulated this with their Retinoid Quadruple Complex a blend of pure retinol plus retinoid ingredients such as Bio Seletinoid, Granactive Retinoid, and Capsule Retinol meant to firm up the skin. Reviewers note that it's non-irritating and able to be used on the face as well as the hands .
The Bio Conditioning Essence is a water-based formula meant to tone the skin (keep it pH-balanced) and moisturize. The brand markets it as an anti-aging moisturizer since it's packed with Saccharomyces ferment filtrate designed to smooth and improve skin texture. However, per the reviewers, it's pretty great for people of all ages and varying skin types.
Promising review: "I have combination dehydrated skin, its super sensitive, & acne prone. I struggle to find products dont break me out or cause an allergic reaction but this WORKS FOR ME. It leaves my skin moisturized, smooth, minimizes my pores and it brightens my complexion. Also, It layers well with other products. My one complaint is that Its a little hard to get the product out of the bottle. I recommend you not to use cotton pads because youll waste products. A couple of drops go a long way." Kensy
This calming cream is meant to provide super hydration while also improving texture, dryness and glow made especially for people with mature skin who want to maintain smoothness. If their serum is filler in a bottle, then you might want to consider this to be like filler in a jar.
If you're seeking a revamp of your entire skin care routine and don't want to put it together piecemeal, then here's a convenient start. This mature skin care set includes a full-size lotion and cleanser plus travel-sized versions and a toner. All formulas are designed to keep skin hydrated, smooth and unclogged.
Promising review: "I've been using this for about a month and I love it! I am very picky with my face care! I had ordered another S. Korean brand originally but was allergic to the red ginseng .. So, I decided to try this and I'm very happy with it! I also bought the cleanser because I like to use the same products in my skin care! Your skin will feel soft and velvety and I noticed the pores look great~! I'm 71 years old and you would not know it when looking at my pores, thanks to IOPE!!! Will continue using it!" Blair
