The Real Deal: We use deal trackers and commerce experience to sift through “fake” hike-and-drop deals and other deceptive sales tactics. Products will usually be rated at least 4 stars with a minimum 15% discount (and when there’s an exception, we’ll tell you why). HuffPost and its publishing partners may receive a commission from some purchases made via links on this page. Prices and availability are subject to change.
If you’ve got mature skin or just want to address premature signs of aging, then oh is there a treat for you in Amazon’s Black Friday sale: The beloved Iope Bio-PDRN Caffeine Face Shot smoothing and lifting serum is 30% off today. Many reviewers swear it’s a cheat code for making skin smoother, improving hormonal acne and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Some even note it’s 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.)
Today, the Caffeine Face Shot is only $35 with the only catch being that discounts on it (especially ones this deep) never last long. Grab one while you can!

(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.)
Both Mixon and Iope attribute the smoothing and firming 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, Iope’s 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 you’re 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 doesn’t interfere with other products or other active ingredients that you might be using.
Head right to your trusty virtual shelves of Amazon to see what all the hype is about for yourself or keep reading to see some more promising reviews.
“Was skeptical…However, after one week, I am hooked! It takes years off! A bit pricy BUT SO WHAT? You are worth it treat yourself……not 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. I’m 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, I’ve bought most high end brands, paying sometimes triple the cost of this line. This beats every brand I’ve ever tried. I’m thrilled to have found it, It will be my forever skin care line.” — Marina Christina Marsh
“I’ve been using this serum for two weeks and I’ve never seen a product perform like this. My skin looks brighter, firmer, clearer, and younger! I’ve been getting Scarlet, BBL and Moxi treatments over the past year and saw the most dramatic difference with this above anything else. Can’t 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 you’re over age 35 this is a must-try product!” — Tanya Rose
