PDRN Hyaluronic Capsule 100 Serum
An intensive hydration serum disguised as an anti-aging treatment. Eleven forms of hyaluronic acid at multiple molecular weights, 3% low-weight HA, niacinamide, glutathione. Skin emerges plumped and glowing. The PDRN is a trace ingredient — enjoy the hydration, not the salmon-DNA story. Apply on damp skin and seal with moisturizer.
Active ingredient
Hyaluronic Acid (3%), PDRN (0.01%)
Aesu’s POV
True benefit for hydration — partial hype on the "PDRN effect." The formula genuinely delivers deep hydration: Hyaluronic Acid at 2.9% is a very high functional dose, and 11 Hyaluronic Acid forms across molecular weights mean it hydrates at multiple skin depths. But: the PDRN (Sodium DNA) is at 100 ppm = 0.01%, which is marketing-grade presence, not therapeutic dose. Topical PDRN has weak clinical evidence even at higher concentrations — the injectable polynucleotide data doesn't transfer to skincare.
What it does
The real benefit
Hydrates deeply, at multiple skin layers. Eleven forms of hyaluronic acid reach where single-weight serums cannot. Skin looks plumper, softer, glowing within minutes. A daily serum for dehydration, dullness, and tired skin — winter, summer, indoor heating, long flights.
What it does not
The honest limits
Does not rebuild collagen or erase wrinkles. The PDRN is present in trace amounts — enjoy the hydration, not the salmon-DNA story. Not a replacement for a moisturizer: in dry Swiss air, apply to damp skin and seal with a cream, or hydration works in reverse.
Ritual
How to use
Apply AM and PM after toner on slightly damp skin. Press two to three drops gently into the face and neck. Layer under heavier serums and moisturizer. Compatible with most actives; works well as the first hydrating serum in a multi-step routine.
