Summary
- Mediheal's PDRN Lifting Pads, praised by Molly-Mae, are now in Boots.
- The pads offer a quick skin fix, acting as a toner or mini sheet mask.
- PDRN aids collagen synthesis, barrier repair, and hydration for firmer skin.
Toner pads, a K-beauty innovation, are now widely available in the UK following celebrity endorsements. Mediheal's PDRN Lifting Pads, priced at £22 for 100 pads, have launched at Boots, making them an accessible option for consumers. These versatile pads can be used as a traditional toner after cleansing or as a targeted five-to-ten-minute mini sheet mask treatment, ideal for busy routines.
The key ingredient, Rose PDRN, is derived from plant-based DNA fragments and is known for its regenerative properties. Aesthetic doctor Dr. Ewa Kania explains that PDRN signals skin cells to boost collagen and elastin production, enhance barrier function, and improve hydration. Mediheal claims its plant-based PDRN is significantly smaller than animal-derived versions, allowing for deeper ingredient penetration to address pore appearance and fine lines.
Other brands are also entering the toner pad market. Glow Recipe offers three targeted pads for specific concerns, while Peter Thomas Roth provides exfoliating pads praised for minimizing spots and fine lines. Customer reviews for Mediheal products are generally positive, highlighting effectiveness in smoothing skin and providing a glow, though one user noted an unpleasant scent similar to cleaning products.
