What is PDRN?
PDRN is a fragment of DNA, usually derived from salmon or trout, with decades of research behind it in tissue repair. In Korea it's best known as an injectable skin booster.
In a mask, PDRN is applied to the surface rather than injected, so it isn't the same as a clinic treatment, and we won't pretend it is. But in a well-made formula it's one of the most interesting ingredients around for tired, dull or less resilient skin.
From the clinic: Rejuran Turnover Mask, with Rejuran's patented c-PDRN.
Hydrogels: Biodance Purple Rejuvenating Caviar PDRN, and Della Born PDRN Collagen Hydrogel, which pairs PDRN with marine collagen.
Sheet masks: Seoul Face PDRN Deep Collagen, plus NUCLID Collagen Lifting Energy and NUCLID Madecassoside Calming Energy, where PDRN supports collagen and calming formulas.
