Sungboon Editor PDRN Pink Vitamin Glow Boosting Ampoule 40 ml

PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide, listed in the INCI as Sodium DNA) consists of DNA fragments, in this ampoule from salmon according to retailers. 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. The hydration and fresher look come from the overall formula: hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol and pearlescent ingredients. Don't expect the effect of an in-clinic treatment. Individual responses and the resulting skin feel may vary.

No. The word “Vitamin” in the name refers to the B vitamins listed in the formula: niacinamide (B3), panthenol (B5) and cyanocobalamin (B12). There is no vitamin C in any form in the ingredient list. If you are looking for a vitamin C serum, choose a product in serums & ampoules that explicitly contains it.

With caution. The ampoule is fragrance-free and contains no exfoliating acids, but it does contain colourants and ingredients used to create a pearlescent effect, which sensitive skin may react to. Try it on a small area first. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, introduce new products one at a time and ideally after talking to your dermatologist.

Pearlescent ingredients may optically contribute to a more radiant-looking complexion, and your skin may feel more hydrated after application. This is not a change in skin tone itself. Longer-term changes in how your skin looks cannot be guaranteed within a specific timeframe: it depends on what is making your skin look dull, your overall routine and how your skin responds to the ampoule. If it suits you, use it regularly.

No, it is not vegan. It contains ingredients that are usually of animal origin, such as collagen, elastin and chondroitin sulfate. Retailers state that the PDRN is salmon-derived, but the name Sodium DNA does not itself establish its origin. If you have a confirmed fish allergy, do not use the product without prior advice from a qualified healthcare professional, and show them the ingredient list below.

Both ampoules contain PDRN but have a different focus. HEVEBLUE Salmon Caring Centella Ampoule is a soothing ampoule for sensitive skin prone to redness, built on centella asiatica leaf water and free of colourants. Sungboon Editor PDRN Pink combines PDRN with niacinamide and B vitamins, contains pearlescent ingredients and colourants, and is dispensed with an applicator. If your skin mainly reddens and stings, choose HEVEBLUE. If it mainly looks dull and lacks radiance, choose Sungboon Editor PDRN Pink.

Each one targets a different need; one is enough in your routine. Choose PDRN Pink if your main goal is to give dull-looking skin hydration and a more radiant finish. If you are primarily concerned about the appearance of dark spots or post-blemish marks, choose a serum specifically focused on uneven skin tone, such as Sungboon Editor Kojic Acid Niacinamide Brightening Ampoule with kojic acid and a gentle PHA. Sungboon Editor Silk Peptide EGF Intensive Ampoule contains no PDRN and is built on peptides and EGF for skin that is losing its feeling of elasticity. If you just want hydration without colourants or shimmer, consider Isntree Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule.

Skip the ampoule if you want vegan skincare, have a fish allergy, don't want colourants and pearlescent pigments in your skincare, or need targeted care for dark spots. If you have extensive or rapidly changing dark spots, see a dermatologist first. If your skin is mainly irritated and red, choose a gentler serum in the barrier & sensitivity category.

The ampoule itself contains no retinoids or exfoliating acids. Depending on tolerance, it may fit into a routine with active skincare. Introduce new products one at a time and follow the active product's instructions for order and frequency. Do not use the ampoule after microneedling, dermarolling or on broken skin. 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.

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.
