From the meaning of PDRN to its ingredients and efficacy, we'll tell you why it's used in cosmetics!

 

PDRN, which is frequently seen on skincare ingredient lists these days

What exactly are they talking about?

Although it is an ingredient whose interest has skyrocketed as it is widely used in everything from dermatological procedures (Rejuran Healer) to premium cosmetics,

There isn't much accurate information.

Today, we will look at the meaning, ingredients, efficacy, and cosmetic uses of PDRN.

I'll sort it all out for you!

✔ PDRN Meaning (Poly Deoxy Ribo Nucleotide)

PDRN = Polydeoxyribonucleotide,
Simply put, it promotes cell regeneration small molecule DNA fragment Wow.

 

 

The features are

 

Human DNA Similar in structure

damaged Organizational recovery Involved in

skin Regeneration, elasticity, and scar improvement Effective for

so Medical and beauty fields Used in all.

 

✔ Where does PDRN come from?

PDRN is mainly Semen and testicular DNA of salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) and trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Extract from.
In particular, the raw material itself is rare because it can only be harvested when salmon return to freshwater.

 

 

Semen from one salmon (fish semen): Approximately 10–15 ml

1 kg of salmon semen → capable of producing approximately 5,000 vials

The value of raw materials is About 100 million won per kg water level

 

First developed in Italy in 1990 →
In 2008, KIST and a domestic company successfully developed domestic PDRN based on salmon sperm.
The scope of the industry has now expanded significantly to include medical, skincare, and cosmetic ingredients.

 

✔ PDRN Benefits — Why is it good for regeneration?

 

The key mechanism is adenosine A2A receptor stimulation.
When this receptor is activated, the skin regeneration routine is turned on all at once.

🔹 1) Promotes Growth Factor (GF) production

Increased production of collagen and elastic fibers → Improved elasticity and wrinkles

🔹 2) Improvement of angiogenesis and microcirculation

Increased VEGF production → Improved skin tone and blood flow

🔹 3) Promotion of fibroblast differentiation

Effective for healing damaged skin, scars, and wounds

🔹 4) Anti-inflammatory action

Reduction of inflammatory cytokines → Soothing sensitive and damaged skin

🔹 5) Restoring oil-moisture balance

Sebum reduction + skin texture improvement → Balance and texture refinement

🔹 6) Whitening effect

Increased ratio of new cells → Natural tone-up effect

 

In the medical field

 

Bedsores, wounds, injuries

Rotator cuff tear

plantar fasciitis

diabetic foot ulcers

It is an ingredient with proven regenerative power, to the extent that it is used for therapeutic purposes.

 

 

✔ How is it used in cosmetics?

PDRN used in cosmetics is a form of pharmaceutical raw material broken down into small molecules and optimized for application to the skin.
It is also one of the most sought-after ingredients in premium skincare lines recently.

 

🌟 Summary of Cosmetic Functions

✔ Summary

PDRN is not just a simple 'salmon DNA cosmetic,'
With pharmaceutical-based skin regeneration ingredients
Efficacy, safety, and market demand are all growing rapidly.
