Our verdict
Same 4.5/5 rating, very different propositions. The One Day Serum comes as 10 single-dose ampoules with PDRN, collagen, glutathione and hyaluronic acid, sits under £15, and is the only one of the two tagged for brightening as well as glow and firmness. It has 2,000 reviews behind its score. The Bubble Serum is a 3.21 fl oz bottle in the £15 to £40 tier with only 383 reviews, and its remit is glow and firmness alone. Format decides it. Ampoules are a short course or a pre-event routine rather than a permanent step, and the small pack size is why the price is low. The Bubble Serum is the one you use every day for weeks. If you want a daily serum you can settle into, take the bubble format. If you want to try PDRN cheaply, or you want the dullness angle specifically, the ampoules are the better entry point.
