The ANUA PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Serum has been branded a 'wonder product' by Amazon shoppers,
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."
