Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum 1ml X 10ea

Anua's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum delivers a targeted dose of hydrating and reparative ingredients, ideal for refreshing tired, dull skin with a Korean derm-approved approach.

What It Is

This serum is a unique offering in the Korean hydration market, distinguishing itself with individually sealed, single-use capsules. Unlike a standard pump serum, these capsules ensure ingredient stability and potency for components like Sodium DNA (PDRN) and multi-molecular hyaluronic acids. It aims to address dehydration and support skin regeneration, similar to how a L'Oréal Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum focuses on intense hydration, but with added reparative benefits and precise dosage.

Key Ingredients

• Sodium DNA (PDRN): Derived from salmon DNA, PDRN is celebrated for its regenerative properties, helping to repair damaged skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin elasticity.
• Multi-molecular Hyaluronic Acid (Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate): This blend delivers hydration to various depths of the epidermis, drawing and retaining moisture for sustained plumpness and a smoothed texture.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3, it supports the skin barrier function, helps reduce the appearance of pores, and offers mild brightening benefits.
• Glutathione: A potent antioxidant that helps protect skin from environmental damage and can contribute to a more even skin tone.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen: Provides amino acid building blocks, helping to maintain skin's elasticity and firmness, giving a plumping effect.
• Coptis Japonica Root Extract: Known for its soothing and antioxidant properties, helping to calm irritation and protect against oxidative stress.

This serum focuses on ingredient synergy, combining potent hydrators with reparative and antioxidant compounds. Notably, it is formulated without common irritants such as artificial fragrance or drying alcohol. The pH range should be skin-friendly, likely around 5.5 to 6.5.
