Why Order Matters with PDRN
When using active ingredients like PDRN and Volufiline, the order of application can make or break results. The Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème 2.5 tube is designed to be layered after lighter serums but before heavier occlusives. This allows the 15,000 ppm of PDRN and 10,000 ppm of Volufiline to penetrate effectively and target volume loss in hollow areas like the under-eyes and cheeks.
Step 1: Prep with a Hydrating Base
Start with a clean face and apply a hydrating toner or essence. This primes the skin and helps the PDRN cream absorb more evenly. Avoid products with strong exfoliants (like AHAs or BHAs) in the same layer, as they may disrupt the peptide and Retinal complex in the cream.
Step 2: Apply the Booster crème to Target Zones
Take a small amount of the Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème and gently press it into areas prone to deep lines: forehead, smile lines, under-eye hollows, and neck. The multi-area formula is rich but refined, so a little goes a long way. Use gentle patting motions rather than rubbing to preserve the structural integrity of the PDRN.
Step 3: Lock It In (Optional)
If your skin is very dry or you're using this as a night treatment, follow with a lightweight moisturizer or facial oil. For daytime, the cream alone may be sufficient under sunscreen, but always finish with SPF 50+ to protect the Retinal component.
Common Mistake to Avoid
Don't layer the Booster crème immediately after a water-based serum without waiting 30-60 seconds. This can dilute the concentration of PDRN and reduce its plumping effect. Allow each layer to dry slightly before moving to the next.
FAQ
Can I use this cream with retinol? Yes, but alternate nights. The cream already contains Retinal, so using additional retinol on the same night may cause irritation. Use the Booster crème on nights you're not applying a separate retinol product.
How long until I see plumping results? Clinical tests show visible improvement in wrinkles and firmness with consistent use over 4-6 weeks. Some users notice a temporary plumping effect after the first application due to the Volufiline.
Is this cream safe for sensitive skin? The formula is designed to be non-congesting and barrier-friendly, but patch test first if you have reactive skin. The Abib PDRN glow serum 4.0 pump is a lighter alternative for those who prefer a serum texture.
