Has anyone tried the IOPE XMD Stem III Clinical Recovery Serum?

Yes, it’s such an interesting product! I’ve actually seen quite a few people say that out of all the PDRN products they’ve tried, this is one of the ones where they felt they could actually see a difference. I think what makes it more interesting to me isn’t just the PDRN itself, but their PDRN HA Liposome Complex and the overall formula. I’m usually a little skeptical of skincare being marketed mainly around PDRN because I feel like PDRN has become such a huge marketing ingredient lately, so I tend to look at the rest of the formula when choosing a serum. IOPE actually has a whole Clinical Recovery line with the serum, softener, emulsion and cream. I tried samples of the line for about two weeks and really liked everything! The serum especially has such a nice texture — very lightweight, almost watery/gel-like, so it doesn’t feel heavy at all, but it’s still really hydrating. That’s why I’ve been so curious about the full size. I’m pretty confident it’s a good serum because I’ve had really good experiences with IOPE in general, but what I’m still wondering is whether it’s good enough to justify the price, since it’s definitely more expensive than a lot of other serums. I haven’t tried the Eqqualberry Purple PDRN Pore Minimizer though! How has it been for you? Have you actually noticed a difference in your pores or skin since using it? Right now I’m using the IOPE PDRN Caffeine Shot Serum and Aestura Regederm, which also uses PDRN, and I really like both. But again, I don’t necessarily buy them because they contain PDRN — I’m more interested in the complete formulas and what they actually do for my skin. And if you do decide to buy the IOPE serum, I’d definitely check Amore Mall first! That’s where I buy most of my Amorepacific skincare. They usually have much better sets and promotions, and you often get a lot of minis/freebies with your order, especially with IOPE. Sometimes the gift sets make the price much more reasonable than buying the serum elsewhere.

Oh thank you, I actually didn’t think of checking SkinSort for this! I’m going to go through the list because I recognize quite a few of these products and brands. I do think I’d take the “dupe” matches with a little bit of a grain of salt though, because some of the products on the list seem to have pretty different purposes even if they share a lot of ingredients. For example, I see Aestura A-Cica on there, which is much more of a calming/blemish serum, and Primera’s PDRN Niacinamide serum as well. That’s actually what makes me so curious about the IOPE one — I’m wondering whether their PDRN HA Liposome Complex and the overall formulation really make enough of a difference to justify the higher price, rather than whether I can find another serum with a similar ingredient list. But this is really helpful! I’m definitely going to look through these and see if there are any that I’ve already tried. Thank you for sending it 💕 If I find one I’ve used before, that might actually give me a much better reference point for deciding whether the IOPE is worth buying.
