What the gurus are saying

The strong floral fragrance is a genuine dealbreaker for some, triggering migraines and sensitivity that overshadows the formula itself. Where scent is not an issue, the salmon PDRN and peptide blend earns real praise for visibly firming skin and improving texture and tone. Those with fragrance sensitivity may want to pass, but people drawn to the trend of salmon DNA actives and able to tolerate the scent find it delivers on rejuvenation.

"This is salmon sperm. This is a multi-peptide by Medicube. It's PDRN Pink Peptide Serum. So it's got multiple peptides in it, but it also has nucleotides derived from salmon sperm. The nucleotides in salmon sperm very closely match the nucleotides found in our skin. When we have genetic gaps, we're missing something, that's a sign of aging. When your genes aren't replicating exactly how they're supposed to, that's a sign of aging. What this does is it fills in those genetic gaps. So it helps a lot with DNA repair. There's lots of different versions, but right now, this is my favorite."

"This stuff smelled so strong, just floral perfumey. It was just too much. The ingredients looked fine except for fragrance right in the middle and the fragrance was strong and it was overwhelming and it gave me the beginning of a migraine. So I didn't apply it on my face."

Trying The Popular Viral Medicube Skincare Products & Science Based Alternatives

"The scent is so strong. It doesn't really dissipate well. I rinsed it off before I actually washed it off. I really scrubbed it off because it was very strong. This one has a small amount of sodium DNA, which is the PDRN that they mentioned. Sodium DNA is based from typically salmon. It contains DNA fragments, long chains of nucleotides that help support and repair and regenerate the skin. It also contains turmeric, ubiquinone, and five peptides, which are at the very end of the ingredient list. Aside from the fragrance, if it didn't have the fragrance in here, I'd probably be using it. The strong scent is way way too much for my migraines. So, sadly, I'm not going to be able to use it."

"It's their PDRN Pink Peptide Serum. The color got me at first. I've never seen a serum so pink and vibrant. The ingredients are really interesting and very fascinating, definitely catching on that salmon PDRN trend that is really popular in Korea and has made its way over here in the western side of the world. It actually does contain salmon PDRN with a peptide complex and niacinamide to overall improve skin texture, tone, and help with skin rejuvenation. It's really aimed at improving the quality of your skin, the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, hydrating your skin, improving overall even tone. It is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin."

"It contains salmon sperm DNA peptide complex that works complimentary to the salmon sperm to enhance skin firmness and resilience. And niacinamide has so many great benefits with skin barrier support, improving texture as well as brightening the skin. So this one of all the ones that I've used is really one of my personal favorites."
