PDRN-infused skincare products you need to try for glowing skin

By now, we’ve all heard the wonders of skin rejuvenating boosters like Rejuran or Plinest. The secret? The use of actives derived from salmon DNA that work from within to boost skin elasticity, cellular regeneration and improve skin texture. The result: That K-glass skin effect that you so envy.

And while injectable aesthetic treatments are the best options in achieving that smooth, bouncy and youthful complexion, not everyone is a fan. Fortunately, if you’re needle-averse, there is a much safer and gentler option: PDRN skincare.

To get you started, here are seven PDRN-infused products you can add to your beauty regime—there are even vegan-friendly alternatives too.

1. Genabelle PDRN Vita Toning Ampoule, $38

Enriched with salmon extract DNA, this anti-ageing serum works to promote cellular regeneration while imbuing skin with moisture, thanks to the use of triple hyaluronic acid that helps lock moisture in. It also contains the brand’s proprietary HTD-GENACOMPLE, which boosts the absorption of the PDRN active to enhance results and vitamin C for a radiant complexion. 

Genabelle PDRN Vita Toning Ampoule is available at the Ksisters flagship store and website.

2. CNP Laboratory Derma+ Answer Active Boost 1:1 Ampoule – PDRN, $42

In addition to a special S-PDRN that restores skin’s barrier and density, this serum is also packed with skin nourishing ingredients like collagen, squalane and adenosine to address skin dryness and signs of ageing. The result: A complexion that is supple and more youthful-looking.

3. Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Glow Serum, $35

Infused with one percent salmon PDRN alongside other skincare actives like niacinamide, adenosine and a five peptide complex, this pink serum doubles up as an anti-blemish and anti-ageing serum, addressing multiple concerns at once. Over time, it not only helps battle pesky blemish breakouts, but also improves skin elasticity. 

Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Glow Serum is available on Medicube Singapore’s website and official Medicube store on Lazada.

4. Innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN Skin Booster Ampoule, $53

Instead of purified water, this lightweight skin booster’s formula consists of 56 percent of a green tea-derived PDRN to support skin’s regenerative properties. Coupled with the brand’s unique three-layer retinol complex, it delivers pore-caring and brightening benefits to leave complexion radiant and smooth.

5. VT Cosmetics PDRN Hydrogel Sheet Mask, $6 per mask

Quench thirsty skins with this cooling and soothing hydrogel mask. The best bit? Each sheet contains a whole PDRN ampoule. The secret lies in the use of phyto PDRN extracted from ginseng paired with a blend of lactobacillus ferment, squalane, polygluronic acid and panthenol, which work together to strengthen the skin’s barrier and keep it smooth and supple.
