PDRN in Skincare: What It Is & How It's Used

If snail mucin was the last big K-beauty crossover ingredient, PDRN might be the next. Despite sounding like something out of a lab (it is, technically), it's become a fast-rising star in Korean skincare.

What Is PDRN?

PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide, a molecule often derived from salmon sperm DNA and used in skincare for its role in supporting skin cell regeneration and repair processes.

Why It's Used for Brightening

• Associated with supporting the skin's natural regeneration processes
• Often formulated to target uneven tone and hyperpigmentation
• Lightweight serum texture suited for layering

How to Use It

Apply to cleansed skin before moisturizer, either morning or night. As with any active ingredient, patch test first and introduce gradually.
