Evidence-Based Research
The Science of Skin Regeneration
Every recommendation on LUMINAE is grounded in peer-reviewed research. Below you will find our curated evidence base — real studies, real data, explained clearly.
Editorial note: Research summaries on this page are for educational purposes. We cite published studies accurately but recommend consulting a licensed dermatologist before changing your skincare approach. Confidence levels reflect study design quality, not absolute certainty.
Expert Commentary
"PDRN represents one of the most exciting developments in regenerative dermatology of the past decade. The mechanism — adenosine A2A receptor activation — is well-characterised and the clinical data is genuinely compelling. What I appreciate is that the evidence base is not driven by cosmetic marketing; most key studies come from wound care and tissue regeneration research."

Our Editorial Standard
How We Select Research
Peer-Reviewed Only
We only cite studies published in indexed, peer-reviewed journals or registered clinical databases (PubMed, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov).
Transparent Limitations
Every study card includes study type and sample size. We flag Emerging evidence separately from High Confidence findings.
No Industry Funding Bias
We note when studies are industry-funded and weight independent academic research more heavily in our confidence ratings.
