Buzzing Skin Care Fad: Exploring the Controversial Use of Salmon Sperm in Facials - Insights from Dermatologists Before Your Trial
In the ever-evolving world of skincare, a new molecule derived from salmon DNA has been gaining traction: PDRN. Originating from Asia and becoming popular in the U.S. around 2022, PDRN has been used for over a decade to help repair the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve elasticity.
PDRN can be found in various skincare products, such as serums, face masks, and topical treatments. One popular method of application is microinjections, which involve shallow injections to activate the skin's repair pathways. Another method is microneedling, where small wounds or punctures are created in the skin, allowing PDRN serum to penetrate deeper.
For those seeking a more convenient option, there are over-the-counter products available. For instance, the Bano PDRN Collagen Gel Mask, priced at $19.00 on Amazon, has 12 reviews and is known for its hydrating properties, working overnight to smooth skin. It's also safe for sensitive skin, non-sticky, fragrance-free, although some users have noted that it may slip off during use.
Another noteworthy product is the VT COSMETICS PDRN 100 Essence Intensive Glow Serum. With 749 Amazon reviews and currently 26% off, this serum boasts a milky texture, is vegan, and comes with a pump dispenser. It combines PDRN with panthenol and ceramides to moisturize and repair damaged skin, leaving a radiant finish and brightening and hydrating the skin.
In Germany, PDRN products like creams and serums are available from Korean beauty brands and online retailers. However, specific endorsements from experts are not explicitly detailed. Some products, like the VT Cosmetics PDRN Essence 100, are currently unavailable, while others, such as the PDRN Pink Hyaluronic Moisturizing Cream and EQQUALBERRY Purple PDRN Pore Minimizing Serum, can be purchased online.
One standout product with an impressive number of reviews is the Biodance Rejuvenating Caviar PDRN Real Deep Mask. With 22,726 Amazon reviews and a price of $19.00, this mask is a popular choice among consumers.
In addition to these products, there are eye patches like the Abib PDRN Retinal Eye Patch, which has 89 Amazon Reviews and is currently 30% off, priced at $20.70. These patches, infused with retinal (more powerful than retinol), help reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
When it comes to PDRN skincare, results are subtle compared to in-office treatments, but users have reported improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall health. For instance, Rebecca Rodriguez, NBC Select editorial projects manager, found the Bano PDRN Collagen Gel Mask soothing and hydrating, with glowy, hydrated, and brighter skin after use.
Topical PDRN skin care products are generally safe because the DNA fragments can't penetrate too deeply into the skin. However, salmon sperm facials, when done in a medical setting with sterile technique and using medical-grade products, are generally safe as well.
As the popularity of PDRN in skincare continues to grow, it's clear that this molecule offers a promising approach to maintaining and improving skin health. Whether through microinjections, microneedling, or over-the-counter products, PDRN is making a mark in the skincare industry.
