PDRN stands for Polydeoxyribonucleotide and consists of purified DNA fragments that support the body’s natural repair and renewal processes. It was originally used in medical and aesthetic treatments to help support tissue recovery and skin regeneration.

Traditional PDRN is usually derived from salmon DNA, which is carefully purified before use. Vegan alternatives, often called Phyto PDRN, are also available and can be sourced from plants such as ginseng, rice or green tea. Today, PDRN is used in professional treatments as well as skincare, body care and hair care products.

PDRN supports the skin’s natural renewal process, helping it recover from dryness, irritation and everyday environmental stress. It improves moisture retention and supports a stronger skin barrier, leaving the skin feeling more hydrated, comfortable and resilient. With consistent use, PDRN can also help improve elasticity, soften the appearance of fine lines and give dull or tired skin a smoother, firmer and more radiant appearance.

PDRN is a versatile ingredient that can generally be used every day, both in the morning and evening. It is available in many different products, including toners, serums, ampoules, creams, masks and mists, making it easy to add to almost any step of your skincare routine. Apply the products from the lightest to the richest texture and always finish your morning routine with sunscreen.

PDRN is not only used in facial skincare. You can also find it in body care products that help hydrate and support dry or weakened skin, as well as hair care products designed to care for the scalp and support healthier looking hair. How often you use it depends on the specific product, so always follow the directions on the packaging.
