Amazon's face serum with salmon DNA praised for improving skin 'fast'
Amazon is now stocking a new face serum made with one unusual ingredient —salmon DNA—and customers are praising it for its remarkable effects. The skincare product is formulated with PDRN, which stands for Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a compound derived from salmon sperm renowned for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
The key ingredient is generally extracted from salmon sperm and promotes cell growth. This is particularly beneficial for fibroblasts, which play a significant part in collagen production. PDRN also triggers angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, speeding up the body's natural repair mechanisms.
For those keen to experience PDRN's benefits, numerous retailers offer products containing this compound, including Superdrug's Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum priced at £26. You can find this serum at Tesco, too.
Amazon lists ANUA's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum in a 30ml bottle for £20. Boots stocks the identical item at an equivalent price.
Packed with 100ppm PDRN and containing 'Smart Capsule Technology ', this daily-use facial serum promises heightened hydration, leaving skin feeling 'smooth and refreshed', reports the Manchester Evening News. Amazon adds: " Combining PDRN, Hyaluronic Acid, and Collagen for this formula helps maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier for hydration and a luminous appearance."
Not only does the serum promise to improve the skin's natural glow, but its 'emerald-toned smoothing formula' is also touted as suitable for use all year round. Amazon says: "Multi-use for perfect skincare. Use after toner as a lightweight serum, layer 2-3 times at night for a skin feel smooth and refreshed after use, or blend into foundation for a glass skin. It is ideal for your at-home Korean self-care routine."
It's critical to mention that ANUA's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Serum isn't suitable for vegans since it contains salmon. The product boasts an impressive consumer score of 4.8 out of 5 stars.
In their feedback, a customer wrote: "An easy 5 stars. This is the first product that made me realise what people mean when they talk about 'glass skin'! It takes a few minutes to sink in but it absorbs beautifully into the skin, I'd say it gives a lovely boost and healthy glow once it's settled."
They added: "There's a really nice plumping impression around my cheeks since I started using it. This hasn't caused me any breakouts and it works well in tandem with my other skincare products and it doesn't cause piling under makeup. It's definitely an addition to my routine that's here to stay!"
But, another said: "After a few uses, I'm not entirely sure it's doing a huge amount other than the usual hyaluronic acid hydration. It's nice enough. There is nothing wrong with it, and I've had no negative effects. It just seems okay, really, nothing amazing."
One more praised: "I love the bottle and the premium appearance. Reading through the ingredients, there are lots of beneficial anti-ageing and plant extracts included. It's a great quality product and I'm really pleased with the results and how well it's helped to restore the balance to my skin."
Another put: "The product sank into my skin beautifully and I found no irritation. I am very happy to recommend!" A different user, expressing some uncertainty, said: "I have tried it a few times now and while finding it works well underneath a moisturiser, I didn't notice any visible difference. However, I have been feeling pretty run down since yesterday, and expected to see this reflected in my face, but surprisingly, I don't think it was. So it seems to be doing something if not necessarily plumping the skin."
Someone else added: "This is a great product for skin plumping and firming. It feels more watery than serum-like when it goes on, which initially made me question how rich and effective it is, but I was wrong, too! It is now part of my morning staple, and I apply it after the shower before moisturiser, and have noticed immediate effects and improved results with every use. Cannot recommend highly enough."
Another wrote: "It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed, with a soft glow. I haven't used it long enough to speak to long-term results, but so far I'm impressed with how gentle and effective it feels." But, someone said: "There is a slight tacky residue but this doesn't last long. It's hard to pinpoint any results especially if you use a product in combination with other new products."

'I'm a doctor and this is the essentials I take with me when heading on holiday'
When packing for a much-needed holiday, a doctor is reminding people to prioritise taking her top essentials, from the right medications to skincare products When going abroad, many of us spend significant time planning our holiday outfits from packing our favourite swimsuit to stunning evening outfits or even activewear for exploring. However, a doctor is reminding people to make enough room in their cases for products to protect their skin, and medicines in case they get ill. If you are travelling to place where the weather is warm, there's no doubt that you need to pack suncream. However, Dr Raj Arora, who is a GP and TV doctor, insists that "SPF is just the start". The passionate medical expert, who owns The Facebible clinic, has shared exactly what she packs in her bad to ensure she is covered in case she falls ill and her skin is protected. The expert, who boasts over 188,000 followers on TikTok, shared a clip of her shopping in Superdrug recently. "Here's what's actually in my skincare bag when I'm on holiday," she said in the video. READ MORE: Luxury £40 beauty box is worth £180 and includes a full-size £36 Caudalie 'elixir of youth' First up, she highly recommends a hydration spray if you are travelling to a hot place. Dr Arora noted: "I always take a hydrating spray because the thing is if you're hot and bothered and love to be in the water or just sitting sunbathing in the heat it's something to hydrate your skin and refresh you." She recommends the 150ml Evian hydrating spray which will set you back £7.99 at Superdrug. However she notes that non-branded cooling sprays are also very good, and are typically cheaper. The medical expert also suggests buying some after bite spray. She said: "Obviously if you've been bitten something cooling and calming for wasps, bees, mosquitos, calms your bite down and lets you get on with your holiday without scratching and itching and making a whole red inflamed state of your skin." Dr Arora recommends Jungle Formula, particularly if you are travelling somewhere where mosquitos are present. There are a number of different options from £6.59 to £10. Sharing another suggestion, the doctor added: "Also Mozzipatch patches are great, just stick them on and wherever you are going in the evening, they can help to repel mosquitos as well." Three packets of 20 Mozzipatches can be purchased from Superdrug for £18. The health expert also insists that you take some medication with you "just in case" of illness; it means you are prepared. She advises taking Calpol for children, Piriton in case of reactions and hay fever, as well as some paracetamol and ibuprofen. She added: "But also make sure you're getting yourself some strong antihistamines just in case you're abroad, can't get hold of them and you've reacted to something, your skin's reacted. "Sometimes your skin might reaction to a mosquito bite or an insect bite and that might flare up. An antihistamine can really reduce that and help the itch as well." Dr Arora also says it's "really important to think about" packing something like an Aloe Vera. She added: "If you've got a bit of sunburn or some redness, or irritation, something like this can be really cooling and calming. Help you hydrate the skin and relieve the skin after being in the sun." Futhermore, she says she "can't tell you how many times" she has been abroad and needed to some Dioralyte to help with food poisoning, stomach bugs and diarrhoea. "Honestly a life safer," she insisted. She also advises packing some antiseptic wipes in case you or children get any cuts or scrapes.

"Amazing value for money, even comes with a bag to keep items in and a poster with loads of exercises you can do with the equipment." When it comes to fitness, there are so many different ways to exercise that come with their own range of benefits. From weightlifting and calisthenics to running and swimming, there are many ways to keep your body fit and healthy in an enjoyable way. One of the newest fitness trends that has a wide following is pilates. Focusing on building strength and flexibility, as well as improving posture, many people have tried out this full body workout whether it be at home or in the gym. For those who are interested in dipping their toe into pilates but are unsure of where to start, we have found the popular workout set that comes with all the basic equipment new fitness lovers need to set them on the right path. Usually retailing for £29.99, Amazon has reduced the price of the LIONSCOOL Pilates Ring Set down to £25.48. Available in five colours, this set is perfect for beginners as it comes with a workout booklet that demonstrates a range of exercises users can follow with the equipment. Along with the trusty workout book, shoppers will also get a pilates ring, an anti-burst mini ball and a set of four durable resistance bands. The ring is made of resilient fiberglass which is encased in a rubber shell, which will add some resistance to your workout. There are also two foam pads included from added comfort. LIONSCOOL Pilates Ring Set £29.99 £25.48 Amazon Buy Now Product Description The nine-inch ball is a staple of the pilates workout, as it challenges a user's stability and flexibility. Made with anti-slip, burst resistant PVC materials, this ball will help strengthen your core in a fun way. Additionally, resistance bands are a versatile piece of equipment to have as they can be used in a range of workouts. However, for those who want to take their pilates journey a step further, Amazon is selling a Foldable Pilates Reformer Board for the reduced price of £62.99 (RRP £78.88).

Would highly recommend." With another five-star reviewer adding: "Great quality and easy to blow up ball - colour is lovely and even comes with a wall poster with some exercises. Impressed." However, some shoppers had minor gripes with the set. One person said: "The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the resistance bands. "While they're decent, they tend to bunch up a little during use, especially over leggings. If they were just a bit wider or had some grip on the inside, they'd be perfect." While another noted: "The foam on the ring has already peeled off and I'd only used it once. Not the best quality unfortunately." On the flip side, a top reviewer wrote: "I've only started using it but the durability of the product is phenomenal, easy to use, comfortable to use and great equipment to keep fit.
