Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum review: the pink one, and what it is not
PDRN Pink Peptide Serum. Salmon DNA + peptides + niacinamide for hydration and firmer-looking skin.
My verdict
The pink one. This is the PDRN serum in my Medicube haul video and the hydration layer that made my skin look plump and glassy once I stopped stripping it. On me it is about the bouncy, hydrated look, not firmness; that job goes to the EGF NAD+ serum. Results took weeks and vary.
How I use it
- After toner, morning and night.
- Two pumps pressed in with my palms, not rubbed.
- EGF NAD+ serum on top at night if you use both.
- Seal with a collagen or barrier cream.
Who this is for
Dehydrated, dull or textured skin, anyone starting a Korean routine who needs the hydration step.
Who this is not for
If you want one product for fine lines, this is not it. If you are breaking out from too many layers, cut this before you cut your cleanser.
Questions I get about it
Is the PDRN Pink Peptide Serum the same as the EGF NAD+ serum?
No. Two different Medicube serums. Pink Peptide is hydration and glow; EGF NAD+ is the firming one I use on smile lines.
Is it sticky?
Slightly tacky for a minute, then it sinks in.
Can I use it with retinol?
Yes. It is a hydrator and it helps with retinol dryness.
