Salmon DNA Serum

Sodium DNA is the ingredient name (INCI) for the sodium salt of DNA. In this serum it's salmon-derived. In skincare it's often called PDRN, short for polydeoxyribonucleotide.

Here it's used as a topical cosmetic ingredient. This serum is not the same as the injectable PDRN treatments offered in clinics.

It's the hero ingredient of this formula, included to help tired-looking skin look revitalized and to support the appearance of skin elasticity. It works alongside the formula's humectants and peptides. It's a cosmetic ingredient, not a medical treatment.

It's designed for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin. But every skin is different, and no product can rule out a reaction for everyone.

The formula contains fish-derived and botanical ingredients, so check the full ingredient list and patch test for 24 hours before your first full application. If you have a known fish allergy or sensitivity, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.

Yes. The hero ingredient, Sodium DNA, is salmon-derived. If you have a known fish allergy or sensitivity, review the ingredient list and consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.

Each pack has 10 vials of 5 mL (50 mL in total). How long it lasts depends on how many drops you use and how much of your face and neck you cover. The directions call for 2–3 drops morning and evening. Once opened, it's best used within 12 months.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use within 12 months of opening.

PAO stands for "period after opening". 12M means the serum is best used within 12 months after you first open it.

No. This is a topical cosmetic serum for external use only. It must not be injected, or used for mesotherapy, microneedling infusion or any procedure that punctures the skin.
