Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum is a hydrating serum with PDRN (sodium DNA, which Anua state is salmon-derived), eight forms of hyaluronic acid, hydrolysed collagen, niacinamide and glutathione. It plumps the look of dry skin and leaves a dewy, glass-skin glow. What it doesHyaluronic acid in several forms attracts and holds water, which softens the look of dryness lines. Anua combine PDRN, hyaluronic acid and collagen as a revitalising complex to help maintain the skin's moisture barrier. Neither our box nor Anua's product page says how much PDRN it contains, so we treat the PDRN as part of that complex rather than the reason to buy.

Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum is a hydrating serum with PDRN (sodium DNA, which Anua state is salmon-derived), eight forms of hyaluronic acid, hydrolysed collagen, niacinamide and glutathione. It plumps the look of dry skin and leaves a dewy, glass-skin glow.

What it does

Hyaluronic acid in several forms attracts and holds water, which softens the look of dryness lines. Anua combine PDRN, hyaluronic acid and collagen as a revitalising complex to help maintain the skin's moisture barrier. Neither our box nor Anua's product page says how much PDRN it contains, so we treat the PDRN as part of that complex rather than the reason to buy. Niacinamide and glutathione are there for a brighter, more even look, in a formula that is a hydrating serum first.

Why we chose it

We chose it as a light hydrating serum that layers under almost anything, not as a PDRN treatment, and Anua are clear that the PDRN comes from salmon. In the morning it sits well under Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics.

Best for

  • Dehydrated skin that feels tight
  • Dull skin that wants a dewy glass-skin glow
  • Fine, dry-looking lines
  • Combination skin that wants light hydration
  • A hydrating layer under actives or sunscreen

Not ideal if

  • You avoid animal-derived ingredients: it contains salmon-derived PDRN and hydrolysed collagen; Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule is a vegan hydrating alternative
  • You react to plant extracts: it contains neem, holy basil, turmeric and aubergine extracts
  • You want a targeted serum for dark spots: this is mainly a hydrating step

Key ingredients

  • Sodium DNA (PDRN, salmon-derived): skin conditioning and barrier support
  • Hyaluronic acid in eight forms: hydration and a plumper look
  • Hydrolysed collagen: softness and moisture
  • Niacinamide: barrier support and a more even tone
  • Glutathione: brightness

Texture and finish

Lightweight and fast-absorbing, with a dewy, glowy finish.

Where it goes in your routine

After toner, before moisturiser, morning and evening. Pat a few drops in, as Anua suggest, then seal with moisturiser; on drier evenings Anua suggest layering it two or three times. Finish with SPF 30 or higher in the morning.

What to expect

Skin feels hydrated and plumper straight away. Brightness and a smoother look build gradually with steady daily use.

Good to know

Animal-derived: it contains PDRN from salmon and hydrolysed collagen, so it is not vegan.

Good to know

  • Animal-derived: PDRN (sodium DNA) from salmon, and hydrolysed collagen
  • No fragrance in the listed ingredients
  • No retinoid and no exfoliating acids

How much PDRN does it contain?

Anua do not state the amount, on our box or on their product page, so we can't give you a figure, and we don't sell it as a PDRN treatment. We chose it for hydration: eight forms of hyaluronic acid (we counted them on our box) with glycerin, niacinamide and collagen.

Is it vegan?

No. The PDRN (sodium DNA) is salmon-derived, as Anua state, and it also contains hydrolysed collagen. If you want a vegan hydrating serum, Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule is our alternative.

Can oily or combination skin use it?

Usually, yes. It is lightweight and fast-absorbing with a dewy finish. If you prefer less glow, use a thin layer and a light moisturiser.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

It can be, but it depends on your skin. The list on our box has no fragrance, no essential oils, no exfoliating acids and no retinoid, and Anua describe it as low irritation. It does contain several plant extracts (neem, holy basil, turmeric, aubergine), so patch test first if those tend to bother you.

Will it help with dark spots?

Not as a main job. Niacinamide and glutathione add some brightness, but this is mainly a hydrating step. If dark spots are your main concern, pair it with, or choose, a targeted tone serum.
