If you've been following K-beauty trends, you've probably heard the buzz around PDRN — Polydeoxyribonucleotide. Once reserved for high-end dermatology clinics and celebrity skin treatments in South Korea, PDRN is now available in everyday skincare. And Yumedics, one of India's most science-forward derma brands, has built an entire range around this revolutionary ingredient.
Here's everything you need to know about PDRN — and how to use the complete Yumedics PDRN range for radiant, repaired skin.
What is PDRN? PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a DNA-derived ingredient extracted from salmon sperm cells. It works at a cellular level to stimulate tissue repair, boost collagen production, and accelerate skin regeneration. Originally used in medical-grade skin treatments and wound healing, PDRN has now made its way into topical skincare — delivering clinical-grade results at home.
Key benefits of PDRN:
- Deep skin repair and regeneration
- Intense hydration at the cellular level
- Reduces fine lines, pigmentation, and acne scars
- Soothes inflammation and redness
- Strengthens the skin barrier
