Let’s dive into why Salmon DNA is worth the hype!

What Is Salmon DNA Skincare?

Salmon DNA, also referred to as polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), is derived from the sperm of Salmon. It is a fragment of DNA that is virtually identical to human DNA in its’ rejuvenating properties. This naturally occurring ingredient is packed with powerful benefits, including:

        • Cellular Turnover to renew and repair damaged skin 

         • Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) to improve circulation and skin health

 Fibroblast activation for increased collagen production and skin elasticity

    • Anti-inflammatory effects, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to calm and protect the skin

These properties make PDRN, Salmon DNA, a standout ingredient for addressing aging, damage, and overall skin health at a cellular level. 

Why Is It Trending?

Korean beauty innovations are celebrated for their meticulous research and ability to harness natural ingredients in highly effective ways. Salmon DNA is no exception. Studies show that the properties of this DNA can reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, and improve the skin’s natural barrier—perfect for tackling issues like fine lines, acne scars, and dullness. Plus, its use in skin boosters has taken results to the next level, offering a non-invasive way to achieve a glowing, youthful complexion.

Should You Try It?

Salmon DNA is suitable for most skin types, especially those looking for hydration, repair, or anti-aging benefits. If you’re curious, start with a serum or cream to experience the benefits of Salmon DNA. PDRN works cumulatively, enhancing the skin’s resilience and repair mechanisms over time. While a single treatment can provide noticeable improvements, long-term benefits are achieved through consistent, regular applications. Combining PDRN treatments with other procedures such as neurotoxins or fillers will enhance overall client outcomes and longevity.
