What it is

Rich cream featuring PDRN and encapsulated collagen beads that melt on skin, paired with peptides and barrier-supporting humectants for a plump, supple look.

Who it's for

  • Normal to dry skin needing cushiony hydration and barrier support.
  • Combination skin seeking a night cream with a soft, bouncy finish.
  • Users looking to add peptides, niacinamide, and ceramides into a routine.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • PDRN — cosmetic DNA fragment to support the look of revitalized skin.
  • Collagen capsules — melt to deliver a cushioned, plump feel.
  • Peptides — help the skin appear firm and smooth.
  • Niacinamide, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate — brighten, soothe, and hydrate.
  • Ceramides — reinforce moisture retention and barrier comfort.

Free-from / texture

  • Rich cream with melting capsules; sets to a dewy, cushioned finish.
  • Generally low fragrance; review full INCI for sensitivities.
  • Non-sticky once absorbed; best sealed as last step.

How to use & order

  • Use as the last step of evening skincare after serums.
  • Apply a pea- to almond-sized amount; warm and press into face and neck.
  • Suitable for morning use in dry climates; follow with sunscreen.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most actives; if layering after strong acids or retinoids, ensure skin is dry and calm before application.
  • For oily/combo skin, reduce amount or reserve for night to avoid heaviness.
  • Patch test if you have very reactive or post-procedure skin.

Evidence & notes

  • PDRN, collagen, and peptides are cosmetic ingredients; any firming/plumping claims are cosmetic in nature.
  • Niacinamide can support even tone and barrier resilience; ceramides help reduce transepidermal water loss.
  • Humectants (panthenol, hyaluronic acid) draw water; sealing with this cream helps retain hydration.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test along the jawline before first full use.
  • Avoid broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.

FAQ

Q. What is PDRN in skincare?

A. PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a cosmetic ingredient derived from DNA fragments, used to support the look of calm, revitalized skin; it is not a drug.

Q. Can I use this with vitamin C, acids, or retinoids?

A. Yes; apply after serums and before sunscreen in the morning or after treatments at night. If using strong actives, monitor for sensitivity and alternate evenings if needed.

Q. Is this suitable for oily or combination skin?

A. It has a rich cream texture with encapsulated beads; combination skin may use a smaller amount or reserve for night. Dry skin can use more generously.
