Short Description
Regenerating ampoule with 4% PDRN, niacinamide, and adenosine. Hydrates, firms, and restores skin barrier. Fragrance-free? No. But still powerful.
Notes
A targeted skin-repair ampoule formulated with 4% PDRN (Sodium DNA), known for its regenerative properties. Enhanced with niacinamide, panthenol, betaine, and adenosine, it supports elasticity, brightening, and hydration. The lightweight texture absorbs easily and is free from alcohol and essential oils, but it does contain fragrance, which may not suit sensitive or acne-prone users. Despite the marketing buzzwords like “youth recovery shot,” the ingredient list supports its main claims. Ideal for dry, dull, or aging skin types. How to use: Apply 2–3 drops on clean skin after toner and before moisturizer. Safe for daily AM and PM use unless irritation occurs.
