PDRN 101 — What It Is, Where It Comes From & How to Pick a Good One

PDRN is having a major moment in skincare — and for good reason. In this bite-size episode, we're breaking down everything you actually need to know about polydeoxyribonucleotide (yes, that's a mouthful): what it does, why the source matters more than you might think, and how to read a label so you're not just buying the hype.

🐟 What we cover:

• What PDRN is and why it started in medicine, not beauty
• How it works and what the studies say
• Salmon-derived PDRN vs. Centella (plant-based/phyto) PDRN — the research gap, the biocompatibility argument, and what each does well
• What to actually look for on a label (ingredient names, concentration clues, delivery systems)
• Who each source is best suited for
• & more!
