In Korean skincare, you’ll notice a lot of the packaging will include a parts per million (PPM) number. This indicates the concentration of the active ingredient. This formula is 1,200 PPM, which means it contains 0.12 percent of PDRN (and Knight recommends formulas that contain up to one percent). The brand calls this a cream, but it actually has the consistency of a lightweight serum and layers well with other skincare. With consistent use and time, it can help repair the skin barrier, reduce redness and irritation, and improve skin texture and tone.
Not only does this contain 10,000 PPM salmon DNA (equivalent to one percent), it’s also clinically proven to improve skin firmness in just two weeks. You’ll also notice smoother texture (as in, smaller pores and fine lines), more reflective skin, and a stronger skin barrier overall. The formula also contains five types of peptides, niacinamide, and adenosine. For those looking for a vegan alternative, don’t fret. The brand offers another version with PDRN derived from rose extracts.

While it may feel a little slippery when getting them out of the tub, they offer a cooling hit of hydration and stay put under the eyes.
You’ve never felt a moisturizer quite like this one. With a lightweight, silky, and stretchy texture that quickly absorbs into the skin, it provides refreshing hydration that’s great for dry to combination skin, but also works well layered under thick moisturizers. “Plant-derived PDRN often comes from ginseng or centella asiatica, but this is extracted from the yeast found in the brown spots of bananas,” explains Ban. “It delivers similar elasticity and regeneration benefits, but also helps brighten and soothe the skin.”

A combination of plant-based PDRN from green tea enzymes and caffeine makes this serum like a shot of espresso for your face. It’ll instantly perk up your dull complexion by regenerating healthy cells, brightening, and firming skin with continued use. Niacinamide and probiotics also support this serum’s ability to smooth and improve radiance.
This is different than other options on this list because it comes in a stick form. It makes application and re-application effortless because it’s compact and can fit in any bag, plus it’s mess-free and easy to use. We’ve found it particularly helpful during this cold winter season. It’s moisturizing, but not greasy, and makes your skin look instantly glowier. Ceramides and PDRN from ginseng protect the skin and improve elasticity and fine lines.
