The popularity of salmon PDRN as an active ingredient in skincare products has surged in recent years, with many consumers compelled by the clinical narrative rooted in a genuine, well-studied biological mechanism. This innovative ingredient is predominantly driven by innovation in the Korean beauty segment. Salmon PDRN relies on purified DNA fragments, with some options offering the ingredient as an injectable booster for 'glass skin,' while other brands boast less invasive, serum versions for at-home use.
One reputable player in the Korean salmon PDRN category is K-Beauty player IOPE. Its XMD Stem III Clinical Recovery Serum, for example, is inspired by Korean salmon PDRN injections and powered by 92.3% PDRN H.A.™ Liposome Complex. In essence, the formula combines PDRN, Micro-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid and Allanto Complex with advanced liposome delivery technology to deliver "a 39% reduction in pore size, 20% increase in skin volume, 60% increase in hydration, 6% increase in elasticity and 18% improvement in skin barrier strength."
