A light serum built around salmon-derived PDRN, niacinamide and five peptides. Expect a comfortable, hydrating serum, not a clinic treatment in a bottle.
PDRN is a DNA-derived molecule studied for wound healing and skin rejuvenation, and sold as serums, creams and injectables.
What it can’t do
Topical PDRN is milder than injectables. PDRN molecules are typically 50 to 1,500 kDa, while intact skin mostly lets through compounds under about 500 Dalton. A serum is not a clinic injection.
Niacinamide
Supporting active
What it does
medicube pairs niacinamide with PDRN for a more even-looking tone.
What it can’t do
Its amount isn't disclosed, so we can't compare it with niacinamide studies.
How long to wait
Give a serum at least 4 weeks of steady use before judging it.
Good to know
This version contains fragrance. If fragranced products bother your skin, test it on your inner forearm twice a day for four to five days first, as the AAD suggests.
