Everyone's talking about polynucleotides, but did this injectable improve our beauty editor's dark circles?

Polynucleotides being dubbed salmon sperm injections reminds me of when PRP was branded the 'vampire facial.' It's intriguing and accurate enough, but also kind of... alarmist. As I found in the process of this polynucleotide review, there's a lot more to this treatment than its infamous nickname.

For the uninitiated, polynucleotides are one of the hottest 2025 treatment trends, partly thanks to self-confirmed A-List fan, Jennifer Aniston. This injectable, which, yes, does include fish DNA, promises to improve skin structure, texture, quality and tone. It's also particularly good for the under-eyes, an area that's as common a bugbear as it is notoriously tricky to treat with traditional 'tweakments' like filler.
