Product-name ingredient concept

PDRN: what to check beyond the name

PDRN · POLYDEOXYRIBONUCLEOTIDE

A material term for a mixture of relatively short DNA fragments. The exact ingredient name on the product label and its raw-material documentation matter more than the name alone.

WHAT IT MEANS

Why is this ingredient used?

The name PDRN describes a material family, but does not by itself disclose source, fragment size, purity or amount. Start by separating the product-name term from the ingredient name printed on the label.

The Soothing Cream retail label lists sodium DNA at 500 ppm rather than “PDRN” as an INCI name.

INGREDIENT NOTES

What should you check about PDRN?

Start with what the name means, then see what was actually verified on the product label.

What exactly is PDRN?

If DNA is imagined as a very long thread, PDRN is closer to a mixture of pieces cut into relatively shorter lengths.

The term identifies a material family, but it does not by itself disclose biological source, fragment size, purity or the amount used in a product.

What role does it have in cosmetics?

This site describes PDRN-related material as a DNA-derived material used for skin conditioning. The moisturised feel of the finished cream comes from the complete formula, including hyaluronic-acid-related and other moisturising ingredients.

Results from injections, wound-care research, cell tests or reconstructed-skin tests involve different conditions from a topical cosmetic. Without finished-product evidence, the expressions below are not used as product claims.

Skin regeneration
Wound healing
Cell repair
Inflammation treatment
Regeneration of damaged tissue

What was verified for this product

The product is named YOURSKIN+ PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Soothing Cream and contains 200 ml. PDRN appears in the product name, while the reviewed retail label declares Sodium DNA at 500 ppm as the ingredient name.

This page therefore shows the product-name term and label name separately. A source claim such as plant-derived is not inferred without supporting raw-material documentation.

PDRN in a product name does not imply a medicine-like effect or a particular raw-material source.

VERIFIED FACTS

Ingredient facts, separated clearly

Product-label facts are separated from definitions in authoritative ingredient sources. Undisclosed amounts, raw-material specifications and finished-product effects are not inferred.

What exactly is it?: PDRN is used as a research and commercial term for mixtures of DNA fragments, but it is not a one-to-one cosmetic label name. This product lists Sodium DNA.
Role in cosmetics: On this site it is described as a DNA-derived material used for skin conditioning. Findings from injections, wound care or cell studies are not presented as regeneration benefits of a topical cosmetic.
Verified in these products: The PDRN Hyaluronic Soothing Cream label declares Sodium DNA at 500 ppm, equivalent to 0.05%.
What the label cannot tell us: The name Sodium DNA alone does not reveal species or biological source, DNA length or molecular-weight distribution, purification method or skin delivery.

EVIDENCE & LIMITS

What the research can support

Evidence scopeNo direct clinical evidence for this cosmetic

Clinical PDRN literature exists, but a representative study used injections at skin-graft donor sites. Those findings cannot be converted into a regeneration claim for this topical cosmetic cream.

Its administration route and clinical setting differ from a cosmetic cream, so it is not direct product evidence.

CLEAR ANSWERS

FAQ

Do all PDRN cosmetics use the same ingredient?

No. The material name, amount, supporting ingredients and texture can differ, so review the complete label.

Which YOURSKIN+ product uses this term?

It currently appears in the PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Soothing Cream product name.

What percentage is 500 ppm Sodium DNA?

500 ppm equals 0.05%. This is the amount declared on the retail label; source and molecular-weight specifications cannot be determined from that label alone.
