How to read the chart
PDRN source: salmon vs. vegan
Classic PDRN is made from salmon or trout DNA, and that’s the version studied in medical research. Brands now also sell plant-based or biotech “PDRN” (for example from ginseng or a green tea ferment). These suit vegans and people with fish allergies, but they’re newer and less studied, and they aren’t chemically identical to salmon PDRN.
Price per ml beats bottle price
Bottle sizes differ (25 ml vs. 30 ml), so the bottle price can mislead. Price per ml shows what you actually pay for the formula. Sales on K-beauty products are frequent, so the real price is often lower than the list price.
Supporting ingredients
- Hyaluronic acid: extra hydration. Good for dry or dehydrated skin.
- Peptides and niacinamide: popular “barrier and glow” partners.
- Retinol (Innisfree): an extra active. Use it at night only, wear sunscreen in the morning, and don’t stack it with other retinoids.
Quick recommendations
- Lowest price per ml: Anua and Medicube.
- Vegan / fish-free: VT Cosmetics PDRN Essence 100 (ginseng), Innisfree (green tea ferment), Medik8 (biotech).
- Already using retinol? Choose a plain PDRN serum rather than the Innisfree retinol version, to avoid doubling up.
- Closest to the clinic brand: Rejuran, from the company behind the well-known injectable PDRN treatment.

Methodology
We haven’t tested these products ourselves. The data comes from brand and major-retailer listings and was checked in November 2026. We list ingredients only where brands or retailers state them, and we mark the PDRN source as “not stated” when we couldn’t confirm it. Spot an error or a new launch? Tell us.
