Korean PDRN Cream | Salmon DNA Moisturizer | 1.69 fl oz

Korean PDRN Cream is a Korean face moisturizer made in Korea by EMCOS (이엠코스) for Neomedical Pharm (네오메디칼제약), pairing salmon-derived PDRN (Sodium DNA, 8,000 ppm) with a full cica complex, ceramide NP, and adenosine.

What is a Korean PDRN cream?

Korean PDRN Cream — labeled PDRN 크림 in Korea and usually searched as a salmon DNA moisturizer in the US — is a 1.69 fl oz (50 mL) face cream from Neocare. It leads with salmon-derived PDRN at 8,000 ppm and balances it with a full cica complex and ceramide NP, so skin feels cushioned and comfortable rather than tight.

The texture sinks in without a heavy, greasy film, and a little goes a long way, so one tube carries a daily routine as the last step morning and night.

Origin & Authenticity

Product of Korea. This cream is manufactured in Korea by EMCOS (이엠코스) for the Korean brand Neomedical Pharm (네오메디칼제약), and what you receive is the Korean-market formula rather than a separate export edition.

Sourced by Kosbee and stocked stateside. It ships from our New Jersey warehouse, so you skip the long wait and customs uncertainty of ordering from overseas.

PDRN and cica are the two ingredients at the heart of today's K-beauty, and Korean formulators rarely put both into one everyday step. This cream does — the kind of considered, ingredient-led formula Korean skincare is known for.

What's inside

Salmon-DNA PDRN (Sodium DNA, 8,000 ppm)

A salmon-derived K-beauty ingredient, included here at a high 8,000 ppm for a smooth, conditioned, well-cared-for feel. Because it comes from salmon, this cream is not vegan.

Full cica complex (Centella asiatica)

Asiaticoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid from centella, long loved in Korea for a calm, comfortable, soothed-looking feel.

Ceramide NP & sodium hyaluronate

A moisture pairing that helps skin stay soft, plump-looking, and hydrated, supporting a supple, healthy-looking barrier feel.

Adenosine

A wrinkle-care active recognized as functional in Korea, included to help improve the appearance of fine lines for a smoother, firmer-looking finish.

Niacinamide, beta-glucan, panthenol & peptides

A supporting cast — with squalane, shea butter, allantoin, and vitamin E — for a brighter, more even, well-conditioned look.

How do you use a Korean PDRN cream?

• Apply as the last moisturizing step of your routine, after toner and serum or ampoule.
• Take an appropriate amount and smooth it evenly over your face.
• Layer a little more on drier areas, or apply a thicker layer at night like a sleeping mask.
• In the morning, follow with sunscreen as your final step.

Used morning and night as the closing step, the 1.69 fl oz (50 mL) tube lasts a typical routine well, since only a small amount is needed each time.

Before you use it

This cream is scented. If your skin is fragrance-sensitive or reactive, patch test on a small area first and check the printed ingredient list before use.

Avoid use on broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if redness, swelling, or itching appears, and consult a dermatologist if irritation continues. For external use only.

PDRN, PN, and salmon-DNA injections — how to tell them apart

PDRN vs PN — what's the difference?

PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) and PN (polynucleotide) both come from salmon DNA, but they differ in chain length. PN is the longer, higher-molecular-weight chain and is developed as an injectable medical device. PDRN is the shorter fragment, which is why it can be formulated into topical cosmetics like this cream.

Is a PDRN cream the same as a salmon-DNA injection?

No. A salmon-DNA skin booster is an in-clinic procedure performed by a licensed provider. This is a cosmetic face cream you apply at home. They share an ingredient family, not a product category — a cream is a daily skincare step, not a substitute for a clinical treatment.

Why does the ingredient list say Sodium DNA instead of PDRN?

Sodium DNA is the INCI name — the standardized ingredient name printed on cosmetic labels — for the salmon-derived DNA fraction marketed as PDRN. When you compare Korean PDRN creams, look for Sodium DNA on the panel, note how high it sits in the ingredient order, and check the stated ppm.

PDRN vs PN — which one is in this cream?

This cream contains PDRN, printed on the ingredient panel as Sodium DNA, at 8,000 ppm. PDRN and PN both come from salmon DNA, but PN is the longer, higher-molecular-weight chain used as an injectable medical device, while PDRN's shorter chain is what allows it to be formulated into a topical cream.

Yes. It contains fragrance, including linalool, limonene, geraniol, citronellol, hexyl cinnamal, and hydroxycitronellal, which fragrance-sensitive skin can react to. Patch test before first use and check the printed ingredient list if you have known sensitivities. Stop use if redness, swelling, or itching appears.
