It started with one girl, one syringe-looking serum, and one TikTok that now has over half a million views. If the hyper-glowy promise of salmon DNA hasn't already seduced you, let me introduce you to the product that's been swimming through beauty-lovers' algorithms: the Medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Duo. And yes — it's currently 20% off on Amazon, so you already know how this story ends (spoiler: in checkout). The TikTok in question? Aamna Adel (@aamnaadel) doing what she does best: looking flawless and making it seem accidental. In her now-viral clip, she applies the Medicube PDRN Petptide Serum with the kind of dewy, unbothered elegance that makes you wonder if this is the thing that'll finally fix your face. And honestly? It might be. The set includes two powerful, beginner-friendly steps: the Salmon DNA PDRN pink collagen jelly gel mask and matching serum, both loaded with PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide, thank you very much), which is derived from — you guessed it — salmon and known for its skin-repairing, plumping, glow-up-from-within powers. Amazon The Medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Duo for Beginners is a two-step skincare set featuring the brand's cult-favorite PDRN Jelly Masks and complementary matching serum. Both products harness polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), a regenerative ingredient derived from salmon DNA, known for its ability to repair damaged skin, improve elasticity, and promote deep hydration. The serum is lightweight but potent, delivering a concentrated boost of nutrients, while the jelly masks lock in moisture with a barrier-strengthening formula that's safe even for sensitive or beginner skin types. Together, the duo works synergistically to target dullness, fine lines, and overall texture for visibly plumper, smoother skin. What makes this duo so appealing isn't just the packaging (which is very 'derm office, but pink'), or the way it makes your skin look like you sleep eight hours and never stress-eat salt. It's that it taps into the derm-trend pipeline without requiring a visit to the clinic or a tolerance for pain. This is a routine you will stick to, because it feels like results in a bottle, and because everyone and their influencer sister is using it.

Shaving face becoming a bumpy ride?Dermat shares 4-step face shaving routine to avoid ingrown hair
London-based Consultant Dermatologist Dr Aamna Adel took to Instagram to share her easy shaving routine, from prepping with the right products to post-shaving skincare. She started by addressing the most common myth concerning facial shaving, whether hair shaving makes your hair grow back thicker. She debunked it and said, 'Anyone who says that shaving makes your hair grow back thicker, it absolutely does not.' A post shared by Dr Aamna Adel (@dermatologist_adel) Here's the entire routine that she shared: You can't directly put the razor to your skin, as it requires a bit of groundwork that helps you prevent the post-shaving issues like bumps or ingrown hairs. She said," I exfoliate twice a week already. I use glycolic acid, this step is absolutely essential for stopping ingrown hair."

You may think your razor is enough to shave, but a proper base needs to be set otherwise, dry shaving is a very big red flag, worsening your skin condition. Dr Adel explained, 'We are not gonna be dry shaving because that is the worst thing you can do for your skin, so instead you can something like an oil which is what I love to do or you can even use a conditioner shaving foam whatever it is. The whole point is that you want to make your skin nice and slippery but you also want to soften the hair which makes it easier to shave.' The directions and strokes of shaving are what make all the difference. Despite common beliefs about shaving against the hair growth direction, Dr. Adel shared the correct shaving technique. She elaborated, 'You are going to pull your skin up nice and tight, and you are gonna do short strokes in the direction of hair growth, not the opposite direction. Again, this is just going to stop you from getting ingrown hair so I just work in little sections and go the whole way around my face and then I use a cotton pad to take off the excess hair from my razor." After the shave, proper care is essential to soothe the skin. The skin naturally gets a bit irritated after contact with the razor, so use calming skincare products to calm it down. She added,"Then I just remove my excess hair with a micellar water and put on a moisturiser because you want to hydrate your skin cause it can be a little bit dry and irritated."
