Much of the current buzz around PDRN skincare can be traced back to celebrity-endorsed “salmon sperm” facials, which drew viral attention to the ingredient and sparked consumer curiosity. As interest surged, the demand for at-home PDRN products grew, with brands offering accessible options that promise noticeable results without clinical treatments.
Now, this ingredient for promoting skin repair and regeneration, boosting collagen and hydration, and reducing inflammation can be found in everything from peptide lip balms and hydrogel face masks to soothing toners.
These in-demand formulations feature not only polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) derived from salmon DNA but also from sources like centella, spirulina, rice, and sea grapes. While some products feature a combination of PDRN from different sources, others—like The Inkey List’s PDRN Serum and SOME BY MI's PDRN Spirulina Poreless Primer—are wholly plant-based and vegan-friendly.
