Designed for stressed skin barriers, the formula uses high-purity PDRN sourced from blueberry, raspberry and cranberry rather than conventional [salmon-derived sources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medicube-pink-pdrn). Its Golden Peptide Threads are DNA-inspired capsules that melt into the skin, delivering Triple Berry PDRN alongside NAD+ and [peptides in a concentrated dose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renewal-peptide-serum). Clinical testing also showed improvements in post-procedure soothing and moisture barrier condition. For AXIS-Y, the serum reinforces its position in [vegan K-beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volition-beauty-serum) while bringing a differentiated ingredient story to the growing skin recovery category. Combining recognizable actives with a distinctive delivery format may help the brand attract ingredient-conscious consumers seeking alternatives to animal-derived formulas. More broadly, the launch demonstrates how skincare companies can reinterpret trending clinical ingredients through plant-based sourcing while maintaining a performance-focused positioning.
