Product detailed description
Hydrating PDRN serum · Dehydrated, tired-looking skin
Your skin feels tight after cleansing and looks tired during the day. Isntree Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule is a lightweight hydrating PDRN serum: it is built on eight forms of hyaluronic acid and glycerin, supported by extract of gim seaweed and PDRN as an additional conditioning ingredient. Compared with a simple serum based on a single form of hyaluronic acid, it has a more complex hydrating formula.
Use it morning and evening after toner, before moisturiser. If your skin feels short of hydration after cleansing and you want a lightweight layer beneath your moisturiser, Isntree Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule may be a suitable choice.
- Type: hydrating ampoule (serum), 50 ml
- Suitable for: dehydrated, dry or tired-looking skin that feels tight after cleansing
- Key ingredients: eight forms of hyaluronic acid, glycerin, gim seaweed extract, adenosine, PDRN (sodium DNA)
- Fragrance-free · Serum step, morning and evening
Routine step
Isntree Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule is the Serum step: after toner, before moisturiser. Finish with SPF in the morning.
Who the Isntree hydrating PDRN serum is for
- Your skin feels tight after cleansing and the tightness comes back even after moisturiser, typically in winter, in air-conditioning or in a heated office.
- Your skin looks tired and flat, even though you look after it regularly, and you want to give it more hydration.
- You want a light layer under moisturiser because rich textures don't suit you or pill under makeup.
- You avoid fragrance and want a serum without colourants or shimmer.
- You are curious about PDRN and want to try it in an easy-to-use hydrating serum rather than a targeted active serum.
When to choose something else: you need verified vegan skincare (we have not confirmed the formula and ingredient origins of the supplied batch), your skin mainly needs calming for redness, or you want to target dark spots or acne specifically. Products with a different focus are a better fit for that.
Texture and skin feel
- Light gel: retailers describe it as a watery jelly texture that absorbs quickly and isn't sticky.
- Finish: according to retailers' descriptions, it leaves skin fresh and dewy, without a greasy film.
- Fragrance-free: none of the available versions of the ingredient list contains perfume or ethanol.
Tip: a hydrating serum spreads best on skin that is slightly damp with toner. Then seal it in with a moisturiser so the water doesn't evaporate from your skin.
Key ingredients: hyaluronic acid, gim seaweed and PDRN
- Eight forms of hyaluronic acid and glycerin: both are humectants, meaning they bind water. They help skin retain moisture and ease the feeling of tightness. They are the basis of the ampoule's hydrating character.
- Gim seaweed extract (Porphyra Yezoensis Extract): a seaweed known in Korea as gim and elsewhere usually as nori. It gives the ampoule its name and is included as a conditioning ingredient.
- PDRN (listed as Sodium DNA): polydeoxyribonucleotide, meaning fragments of DNA. In aesthetic medicine it is mainly used as an injectable. In skincare it is an additional conditioning ingredient whose effects when applied topically are still being studied. The brand does not disclose its concentration.
- Adenosine: a conditioning ingredient often used in Korean skincare for skin that is losing its fresh look.
- Additional conditioning ingredients: Coptis japonica root extract, vitamin E (tocopherol) and Lactobacillus ferment.
Three versions of the ingredient list for this ampoule appear on international websites. We describe only ingredients that all three contain. Below we list the most frequently cited version; the packaging is always decisive.
How to use Isntree Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule
- 1. Cleanse: a gentle cleanser; in the evening, if you wear SPF or makeup, start with a cleansing oil.
- 2. Toner: dampen your skin with a hydrating toner.
- 3. Ampoule: apply a small amount to the whole face and gently pat it in until absorbed. Avoid the eyes.
- 4. Moisturiser: seal in the hydration with a cream; for dry skin, a richer one works well.
- 5. SPF in the morning: as the last step.
- With active skincare: the ampoule is primarily designed for hydration. Some published versions of the formula also contain gluconolactone (PHA). When combining it with retinol or exfoliating acids, follow your skin's tolerance and introduce new products gradually. Follow the active product's instructions for the order.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Isntree Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule
What is PDRN and what can I expect from it in this ampoule?
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide, listed in the INCI as Sodium DNA) consists of DNA fragments. In Korea it became known mainly through aesthetic medicine, where it is injected. In skincare it is an additional conditioning ingredient whose effects when applied topically are still being studied. Isntree Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule is primarily a hydrating serum: the hydrated skin feel comes from the overall formula, mainly hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Don't expect the effect of an in-clinic treatment. Individual responses and the resulting skin feel may vary.
Is the PDRN in this ampoule from fish? Is the ampoule vegan?
Isntree states that the PDRN in this ampoule is derived from gim seaweed grown in Wando, Korea. However, the INCI name Sodium DNA does not itself establish the ingredient's origin. Some published formulas also contain collagen. We therefore do not describe the ampoule as vegan without confirmation of the supplied batch's formula and ingredient origins. If you have a confirmed fish allergy, ask your doctor before using it and show them the ingredient list below.
Is the ampoule suitable for sensitive skin?
The ampoule is primarily designed for hydration and contains no fragrance, ethanol or retinoids, so it is often suitable for skin that reacts to strong actives. Some published versions of the formula also contain gluconolactone (PHA). This does not rule out individual reactions, so try it on a small area first. If your skin is mainly red and irritated, a soothing serum with centella makes more sense.
How soon will I see a difference?
Your skin may feel more hydrated after application, depending on its condition and individual response. Changes in how your skin looks over the course of the day cannot be guaranteed within a specific timeframe: it depends on the cause of dehydration, your overall routine and your environment. If the ampoule suits you, use it regularly morning and evening.
How is it different from HEVEBLUE Salmon Caring Centella Ampoule?
Both are lightweight ampoules with PDRN, but they differ in focus and formula. HEVEBLUE Salmon Caring Centella Ampoule is a soothing ampoule for sensitive skin: its main ingredient is centella asiatica leaf water, and both the PDRN and the roe extract come from salmon. Isntree is a hydrating serum built on eight forms of hyaluronic acid and seaweed extract, without centella. Isntree states that its PDRN is derived from gim seaweed, although the INCI name Sodium DNA does not itself establish the ingredient's origin. If your skin mainly reddens and stings, choose HEVEBLUE. If it mainly feels tight and lacks water, choose Isntree.
How do I choose between the PDRN and EGF ampoules at VIONE?
It depends on what your skin needs most. Isntree is a simple choice for hydration, without colourants or shimmer. Sungboon Editor PDRN Pink Vitamin Glow Boosting Ampoule combines PDRN with niacinamide and B vitamins and contains pearlescent ingredients, so it is aimed at dull skin lacking radiance. Sungboon Editor Silk Peptide EGF Intensive Ampoule contains no PDRN and is built on peptides, EGF and silk extract for skin that is losing its feeling of elasticity. One of them is enough in your routine.
Who is the ampoule not for, and when should I choose another product?
Skip the ampoule if you need verified vegan skincare or have a confirmed allergy to any of its ingredients, such as seaweed. It is a hydrating serum, not targeted care for dark spots, acne or deeper wrinkles. If your skin mainly needs more lipids and barrier support, prioritise a richer cream such as PURITO Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream.
Can I combine the ampoule with retinol, vitamin C or acids?
The ampoule is primarily designed for hydration and contains no retinoids. Some published versions of the formula also contain gluconolactone (PHA). When combining it with retinol or exfoliating acids, follow your skin's tolerance and introduce new products gradually. Follow the active product's instructions for order and frequency. If your skin starts burning, becomes significantly red or begins to peel, stop using newly introduced products and return to a simple, well-tolerated routine. Consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist.
Can I use the ampoule during pregnancy?
According to its ingredient list, the ampoule contains no retinoids. The brand gives no information on pregnancy. We recommend discussing any new skincare with your doctor during pregnancy and breastfeeding and showing them the ingredient list below.
What to pair the Isntree ampoule with
- ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Toner: a light, watery toner with sea water. It dampens the skin so the ampoule spreads more easily.
- PURITO Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream: a panthenol cream that seals in hydration after the ampoule and supports the barrier.
- Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Pure Mineral Relief Daily Sunscreen SPF 50+: a fragrance-free mineral sunscreen with zinc as the last step in the morning.
Practical tip: a hydrating routine doesn't need to be long. A gentle cleanser, toner, the ampoule, moisturiser and SPF in the morning are enough. If your skin still feels tight, try a richer moisturiser first rather than another serum.
What the brand says
Isntree states that the PDRN in the ampoule is derived from gim seaweed grown in Wando, Korea, and that the ampoule combines eight forms of hyaluronic acid. The brand does not disclose the concentration of PDRN or other ingredients. According to the available versions of the ingredient list, the ampoule is free of fragrance and ethanol. Check the packaging for the period after opening. The stated claims are based on the manufacturer's declarations. Individual skin tolerance may vary.

Isntree: Korean skincare for hydrating dry and sensitive skin
Isntree (이즈앤트리 in Korean) is a South Korean brand that describes itself as “functional green beauty”: it pairs botanical ingredients with functional ones such as hyaluronic acid. Internationally it is known mainly for its Hyaluronic Acid line, including the Watery Sun Gel sunscreen, followed by its Green Tea, Onion Newpair, Mugwort and Yam Root lines.
Does your skin feel tight after cleansing, and still tight after moisturiser in winter or air conditioning? We chose two Isntree products that work together in a routine like that.
Why we chose Isntree
What we value about Isntree is clarity: products are named after their key ingredient and their role in a routine is usually obvious. A hydrating serum and a ceramide cream form a simple base: first a layer that binds water, then a cream that helps keep it in.
Who Isntree is for
- Your skin is dehydrated or dry and feels tight after cleansing.
- Your skin is sensitive and you want a simple routine without a fragranced serum.
- You want to try PDRN in a hydrating serum rather than a targeted active product.
If your main concern is the appearance of pores, dark spots or fine lines, choose a serum according to your primary skincare goal. Explore other options in Serums & ampoules.
Isntree at VIONE
- Isntree Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule: a lightweight hydrating serum with eight forms of hyaluronic acid, glycerin, gim seaweed extract and PDRN as a supporting ingredient. Fragrance-free, morning and evening after toner.
- Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cream: a moisturiser with five types of ceramides, cholesterol and emollients for dry, sensitive skin, used as the last step morning and evening.
You can use both together: serum after toner, then cream, and SPF in the morning.
Isntree: frequently asked questions
Is Isntree a Korean brand?
Yes. Isntree (이즈앤트리) is a South Korean brand run by Isntree Co., Ltd. It describes itself as “functional green beauty”.
Where should I start with Isntree?
If your skin mainly lacks hydration, start with the Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule serum. If your skin feels tight and needs comfort, start with the Yam Root Vegan Milk Cream.
What is the difference between Isntree Gim PDRN and HEVEBLUE?
Both serums contain PDRN. Isntree Gim PDRN is built on hyaluronic acid and focuses on hydration; HEVEBLUE Salmon Caring Centella Ampoule is built on centella and focuses on soothing sensitive skin that flushes easily.
Is Isntree Yam Root vegan?
“Vegan” is part of the product name. If independent vegan certification matters to you, we recommend checking its current status with the manufacturer. Always review the INCI list for known allergens.
