PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream (55g)

• Morning and evening, as the last step of your skincare, after serum. The box calls it the final step.
• Mix the pink capsules and clear gel on the back of your hand before applying, as the box directs.
• Choose your mix: more gel for a lighter feel, more capsules for a richer, more cushioned feel. You might use more gel in the morning or in warm weather.
• Smooth over face and neck.
• In the morning, follow with sunscreen.
• On nights you use retinal or exfoliating acids, use it as the moisturiser that follows them. It has no retinoid or acid of its own.

Is this a PDRN treatment?

No. The salmon PDRN (sodium DNA) sits in the middle of the ingredient list and Medicube do not state how much it contains. Buy it as a hydrating moisturiser with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid; the PDRN, collagen and peptides are supporting extras.

Why are there two textures in the jar?

The pink capsules and the clear gel are meant to be mixed as you use them. More gel gives a lighter feel, more capsules a richer one, so you can adjust it to your skin or the season.

Can oily or combination skin use it?

It can, especially if you lean on the gel for a lighter feel. It does leave a dewy finish, so if you prefer a matte look, use it more sparingly on your T-zone.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

It can be. No fragrance is listed, and there is no retinoid or exfoliating acid. It does contain several plant extracts and oils, so if you know you react to botanicals, try it on a small area first.

Is it vegan?

No. It contains salmon DNA (the PDRN), salmon egg extract and hydrolysed collagen.

Can I use it with retinal or acids?

Yes. It works well as the moisturiser on nights you use them, because it adds no retinoid or exfoliating acid of its own.
