PDRN NOT from fish

poregirl — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 18:33:11 GMT

Companies now are making PDRN from green tea. Innisfree is also cruelty-free

PDRN molecules are much too large to penetrate the skin. Topicals containing it might help with hydration by maintaining hydration at the surface.

So I jumped on the bandwagon too soon? It wouldn't be the first time. 😆🤦‍♀️

@JeanLouiseFinch

Where PDRN is most beneficial is beneath the surface. It's available as an injectable at some medispas but it is not an FDA-approved product or procedure.

Medicube has one made from roses.

HSN and Amz have the same one not made from salmon, made from green caviar aka sea grapes.

I see some brands on Amz that are called concentrates, you just add a drop or 2 to any other serum or cream, I think that could be more beneficial than using just the serum. PDRN seems to be the rage now in K Beauty

I know there is PDRN in one of Numbuzin essences but can't remember which one. I didn't buy it because that was in it though. So, what is PDRN?

Re: PDRN NOT from fish

@JudyL it started out as fish sp3rm, That was a no go for many not wanting to put that on their face. It's been popular in Korean skincare.

PDRN = Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a DNA fragment extracted from salmon sp3rm (yes, really) that's used in medical treatments for skin regeneration and wound healing. It's been used in Korea for years in dermatology clinics as an injectable "skin booster," especially for aging or post-procedure skin.

I am having issues with one of my contact lenses today and my first reading of this headline was PORN NOT from fish.

Well, it got my attention anyway.

@Bookplate - Oh thank you for the best laugh that I have had in ages. I'm still laughing.

Snail mucin is still a standout product as far as I am concerned. I haven't bought into PDRN yet but COSRX 5 PDRN line may just make me try their new line. They have a serum, toner & hydrogel mask with 5 types of pdrn & the toner has 8 types of HA. Less is more & all....🤷‍♀️

You should, use it all up, then decide if you want more.

"COSRX is in the grey area. This means it's unclear whether or not they're cruelty-free, since they haven't provided enough information. Some brands that fall under this category refuse to share their complete animal testing policy or answer questions about their cruelty-free status." Cruelty-Free Kitty

@ i read a newer report by beauybulletins dot com. She reports on cruelty free brands. It appears they have lost their cruelty-free staus according to her report.
