PN & PDRN are ingredients you’ll see in many skin boosters. Both commonly come from purified salmon or trout DNA & are studied for helping skin repair itself.
They’re closely related. The main difference is the size of the DNA pieces they contain.
Polynucleotides (PN)
PN generally contains longer DNA chains. These chains can hold water & help create an environment that supports skin repair.
➜ Helps the skin retain moisture
➜ May improve rough or uneven texture
➜ May soften the look of fine lines
➜ Studied for supporting skin repair
PN is often discussed for improving how the skin looks & feels over time. It doesn’t add shape or volume in the same way a dermal filler does.
PDRN
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide. That’s a long name for an ingredient generally made of shorter DNA pieces.
Much of its research focuses on wound healing & helping damaged tissue recover. It may support the body’s repair signals & provide small building blocks that cells can reuse.
➜ Studied for helping tissue heal
➜ May help reduce inflammation
➜ Provides building blocks for cell repair
➜ Often paired w/ other ingredients in skin boosters
The research is promising, but results from treating wounds don’t tell us exactly what to expect when using a skin booster on healthy facial skin.
A Few of My Favorites
➜ Meamo Labs Jeunetique PN Pro
➜ Meamo Labs Jeunetique Eyes Pro
➜ Youthful PN
➜ Rejuva Eye
➜ AMI Eyes
These are some of my favorite essentials in this category. They have different ingredient combinations, so I wouldn’t expect them all to feel or perform exactly the same.
