Scalp care is skin care, so it's to be expected that an in-demand skincare ingredient—PDRN—is already breaking into the haircare category with products like VT Cosmetics' PDRN Reedle Shot Brush Hair Serum.
Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) has surged in popularity thanks to its starring role in celebrity-endorsed "salmon sperm facials" and the growing consumer demand for at-home regenerative skincare. While some PDRN is traditionally derived from salmon DNA, plant-based alternatives exist too, and the PDRN Reedle Shot Brush Hair Serum makes the most of vegan PDRN from Korean wild ginseng extract. Alongside this advanced active, this formula features awakening caffeine to boost circulation and support hair density, plus microneedling spicule.
For ease of use, this hair serum is packaged with a brush-on applicator that's ready to comb through hair and massage the scalp.
