What PDRN does
Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a salmon-DNA-derived ingredient best known from in-clinic "salmon DNA" injections and now sold in serums. Early clinical studies suggest it may support tissue repair and hydration, but topical (as opposed to injected) evidence is still limited, so treat claims of dramatic results with caution.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Aloe Vera and PDRN together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Aloe Vera and PDRN, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (hydration), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Aloe Vera or PDRN?
Apply Aloe Vera first, then PDRN. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Aloe Vera in the morning or at night?
Aloe Vera: works morning or night. Use as a gel moisturiser for oily skin in summer, or under a cream in dry weather. Choose products without added alcohol or heavy fragrance.
Should I use PDRN in the morning or at night?
PDRN: works morning or night. Use as a serum step, morning or night. It has no known irritancy, so it layers easily with most other actives. It is not a substitute for an in-clinic PDRN treatment, which uses injectable-grade material under medical supervision.
Is Aloe Vera with PDRN safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for PDRN. Check with your doctor.
