Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN, also referred to as polynucleotides) is an increasingly popular ingredient used in skincare products and aesthetic treatments. Commonly derived from salmon DNA, it is said to boost collagen production and repair the skin barrier. But, up until now, it’s commonly been reserved for in-clinic facials. Now, Medik8 has launched a new serum containing vegan-friendly polynucleotide.
Designed for use after cleansing, the brand claims the form of PDRN in this serum penetrates deeply into skin layers to offer soothing and smoothing benefits.
