What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this serum for delivering intense hydration and a plump, glowy complexion without irritation or heaviness. A major strength is its compatibility with active ingredients like retinoids and vitamin C, making it easy to layer into existing routines. The PDRN component draws particular enthusiasm as an accessible topical alternative to clinical treatments. One reviewer cited ethical concerns about the brand that affected their endorsement, though this does not reflect product performance.

"The Anua PDRN plus hyaluronic acid serum is awesome, especially for dry skin. That one leaves your skin like very glowy and hydrated looking and it's a really nice, very good quality, high quality PDRN sourced serum that I definitely recommend."
Approved
"Cinnamon PDRN that helps to support skin rejuvenation, promote skin turnover, helps with elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles. And then hydrolyzed collagen along with 11 different types of hyaluronic acid that works to hydrate your skin, keeping your skin plump and hydrated, supporting the skin barriers, improving skin health that again is really important for kind of aging skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I really love this. I use it in the morning on top of my vitamin C serum and at night before my topical retinoid. It's a great one because it's not irritating. You can easily incorporate it into your existing routine and if you're worried about retinoids, this may interfere with your retinoids, it will not. So this is the beauty of this product, which is why I love it so much."

"It does leave this kind of slip on your skin that honestly I don't mind at all. It's not oily or thick or anything. It's just like a nice kind of feel, it feels like it's locking everything in. We also have glutathione in here which is a brightening antioxidant as well as turmeric eggplant extract and basil, holy basil or something which apparently calms the skin. All I know is that this is one of my favorite hydrating products. I've been using this purely after a toner before a treatment serum just to give my skin that extra hydration and I love it. It's got that stringiness and it feels thick but light at the same time, and I feel like this gives me the satisfaction of that quench that I'm always looking for."

"Like Anua's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum, which I do love but unfortunately they platformed transphobe very recently and for me and my morals I don't want to support them anymore."
SALMON SPERM IN SKINCARE?! Why Everyone's Obsessed With PDRN
"This is packed with PDRN, collagen and 11 types of hyaluronic acid. It's that typical glass skin hydration. Not just because it makes you glow, but this serum covers that checklist of what glass skin actually is. Healthy glow from within, not just a shiny layer over your skin. PDRN stands for poly deoxyribonucleotide. It's a DNA based compound typically extracted from salmon sperm. It's actually a highly purified ingredient and used widely in regenerative medicine. PDRN tells your skin to behave like it did like five years ago. It helps repair damaged skin, boost hydration and help stimulate cell turnover. So it's really useful for people dealing with sensitivity, fine lines or post inflammatory marks."
SALMON SPERM IN SKINCARE?! Why Everyone's Obsessed With PDRN
"I layer this up like, so I'll do one layer all over and then I'll drip it just a little bit extra where I'm super dry or where I feel a little bit more dehydrated, maybe where I have more skin texture, on the cheeks and this little area of my forehead. I wake up and my skin just feels hydrated, calm and a little bit more plumper than usual. What I like about this serum as well is just how well it plays with other actives. Whether you're using retinoids, exfoliants, vitamin C, this will just slot happily into your routine, keeping your barrier happy alongside that. I've been using this for about three weeks now and really enjoying it. I do layer it into my tret routine, and I've had minimal, minimal, minimal peeling with no dryness. If you've been curious about PDRN but didn't want to commit to a clinic appointment or injectable treatment, this is a nice place to start. Is it the same thing? No, it's not. But it still has amazing topical benefits. Anua's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum gives you barrier care, hydration, and regeneration as well."
