The Core Actives

Three Ingredients. One Mission.

PDRN, polynucleotides, and DNA repair compounds are the most clinically validated regenerative skincare ingredients available today.

PDRN
Salmon sperm extract

PDRN

Polydeoxyribonucleotide

Cellular repair at the deepest level

A purified DNA fragment derived from salmon that activates the adenosine A2A receptor pathway — triggering growth factor release, inflammation reduction, and accelerated tissue regeneration.

Polynucleotides

Hydration and regeneration in one molecule

Longer-chain DNA molecules that provide a structural scaffold for skin regeneration. Clinically shown to improve dermal thickness, skin hydration (TEWL reduction), and elasticity in multiple RCTs.

DNA Repair Compounds

Reversing UV-induced cellular damage

Topically applied DNA repair enzymes (T4 endonuclease V, photolyase) have been shown in clinical trials to reduce UV-induced DNA damage markers and decrease actinic keratosis lesions.

Clinical Evidence

"31% improvement in skin elasticity at 3-month follow-up"

Dermatologic Surgery, 2019 · n=52

Regeneration in Action

Visible Results, Verifiable Science

Week 2–4

Hydration & Plumpness

PDRN initiates growth factor expression. Most users report increased skin plumpness and reduced tightness within the first month.

Week 6–8

Texture & Evenness

Collagen synthesis begins to improve surface texture. Pore size visibly reduces as the dermis thickens and supports the epidermis more effectively.

Week 10–12

Elasticity & Firmness

Full regeneration cycle completes. Cutometer measurements in clinical studies show an average 31% elasticity improvement at the 3-month mark.

Expert & Community Voices

Trusted by Dermatologists & Skincare Enthusiasts

"I've been recommending PDRN-based skin boosters to patients for three years. The evidence base is stronger than most in-office treatments we discuss. For topical use, concentration and formulation stability are key — do your research before purchasing."

"I was sceptical about salmon-derived ingredients but I read the actual studies on here before trying the REJURAN serum. After 6 weeks my skin feels genuinely different — more plump and resilient. The science section is what convinced me."
