Amazon's face serum with salmon DNA praised for improving skin 'fast'
The ANUA PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Serum has been branded a 'wonder product' by Amazon shoppers, Amazon is now stocking a new face serum made with one unusual ingredient —salmon DNA—and customers are praising it for its remarkable effects. The skincare product is formulated with PDRN, which stands for Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a compound derived from salmon sperm renowned for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties. The key ingredient is generally extracted from salmon sperm and promotes cell growth. This is particularly beneficial for fibroblasts, which play a significant part in collagen production. PDRN also triggers angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, speeding up the body's natural repair mechanisms. For those keen to experience PDRN's benefits, numerous retailers offer products containing this compound, including Superdrug's Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum priced at £26. You can find this serum at Tesco, too. Amazon lists ANUA's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum in a 30ml bottle for £20. Boots stocks the identical item at an equivalent price. Packed with 100ppm PDRN and containing 'Smart Capsule Technology ', this daily-use facial serum promises heightened hydration, leaving skin feeling 'smooth and refreshed', reports the Manchester Evening News. Amazon adds: " Combining PDRN, Hyaluronic Acid, and Collagen for this formula helps maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier for hydration and a luminous appearance." Not only does the serum promise to improve the skin's natural glow, but its 'emerald-toned smoothing formula' is also touted as suitable for use all year round. Amazon says: "Multi-use for perfect skincare. Use after toner as a lightweight serum, layer 2-3 times at night for a skin feel smooth and refreshed after use, or blend into foundation for a glass skin. It is ideal for your at-home Korean self-care routine." It's critical to mention that ANUA's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Serum isn't suitable for vegans since it contains salmon. The product boasts an impressive consumer score of 4.8 out of 5 stars. In their feedback, a customer wrote: "An easy 5 stars. This is the first product that made me realise what people mean when they talk about 'glass skin'! It takes a few minutes to sink in but it absorbs beautifully into the skin, I'd say it gives a lovely boost and healthy glow once it's settled." They added: "There's a really nice plumping impression around my cheeks since I started using it. This hasn't caused me any breakouts and it works well in tandem with my other skincare products and it doesn't cause piling under makeup. It's definitely an addition to my routine that's here to stay!" But, another said: "After a few uses, I'm not entirely sure it's doing a huge amount other than the usual hyaluronic acid hydration. It's nice enough. There is nothing wrong with it, and I've had no negative effects. It just seems okay, really, nothing amazing." One more praised: "I love the bottle and the premium appearance. Reading through the ingredients, there are lots of beneficial anti-ageing and plant extracts included. It's a great quality product and I'm really pleased with the results and how well it's helped to restore the balance to my skin." Another put: "The product sank into my skin beautifully and I found no irritation. I am very happy to recommend!" A different user, expressing some uncertainty, said: "I have tried it a few times now and while finding it works well underneath a moisturiser, I didn't notice any visible difference. However, I have been feeling pretty run down since yesterday, and expected to see this reflected in my face, but surprisingly, I don't think it was. So it seems to be doing something if not necessarily plumping the skin." Someone else added: "This is a great product for skin plumping and firming. It feels more watery than serum-like when it goes on, which initially made me question how rich and effective it is, but I was wrong, too! It is now part of my morning staple, and I apply it after the shower before moisturiser, and have noticed immediate effects and improved results with every use. Cannot recommend highly enough." Another wrote: "It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed, with a soft glow. I haven't used it long enough to speak to long-term results, but so far I'm impressed with how gentle and effective it feels." But, someone said: "There is a slight tacky residue but this doesn't last long. It's hard to pinpoint any results especially if you use a product in combination with other new products."

We Review The Viral Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum
As someone who is in a constant tug of war with skin issues (hormonal acne, post-inflammation hyperpigmentation, and a reactive temperament, to name a few), there is little I won't do in the pursuit of perfect skin. But injecting salmon sperm into my face? Now, that's a step too far even for me. It may sound gross, but that hasn't stopped the likes of Charli XCX, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Anniston touting salmon-sperm facials (AKA polynucleotide or PDRN treatments popularised in Korea) as their secret skincare weapon. It's worth mentioning that this particular beauty obsession is nowhere near as icky as it sounds. We're talking about purified DNA fragments extracted from salmon sperm, not salmon sperm itself. And the A-list set aren't the only ones who are hooked. TikTok currently plays home to 38.3K videos on the topic, while Boots declared PDRN therapy as its number one trend to watch for 2025 in the arena of healthcare and beauty advanced technologies. For those of us too squeamish to get on board with the buzzy beauty treatment, there is good news, K-beauty brands have managed to bottle up the fishy elixir into hardworking skincare serums and Korea's bestselling PDRN serum has just landed on home soil. Enter Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum, £20. As a total K-beauty convert, I'm a sucker for Anua's skincare offerings thanks to the brand's use of natural active ingredients, which are at the centre of its gentle yet effective formulations. I count the Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, £13, and Heartleaf 77 Toner Pads, £22, which both use anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial heartleaf extract to sooth skin, as some of my holy grail skincare essentials. But Anua's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum is in hot pursuit of the top spot, here's why. Sameeha using the Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum The emerald serum is loaded with a layered hyaluronic acid complex that works to deeply hydrate and low molecular hydrolysed collagen that quickly seeps into the skin, while the star of the show (yes, real) salmon sperm DNA helps to boost the skin's overall appearance and works in synergy with all the other ingredients to promote moisture retention, smoothness, and an uber-glowy finish. Centring its newest viral product on PDRN means Anua is tapping into today's polynucleotide mania and a treatment that boasts a track record for clinically proven results, with various medical journals confirming the ingredients' demonstrated anti-inflammatory, tissue reparative, and wound healing properties. Dr. Ashwin Soni explains, 'Polynucleotides are long chains of DNA, sourced from salmon or trout sperm. These highly purified fragments of DNA are suspended in water and available as an injectable.' When injected, the DNA integrates into the skin and starts signalling in three main ways, Dr Soni continues. 'Firstly, they stimulate fibroblast cells to multiply in number and boost their activity. As cell renewal improves, so will collagen production, hydration levels, and skin glow. Your skin becomes more resilient with improved elasticity and wrinkles start diminishing. Secondly, they are incredible antioxidants that scavenge free radicals that would normally set off cellular damage. Thirdly, they function as wound healing agents signalling your skin to intensely repair. As it enters repair mode, your skin's discolouration improves, leaving it looking more even in tone. Additionally, polynucleotides produce a mild increase in volume and tightening as an overall effect.' Sameeha using the Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum The stark in-clinic results have made PDRN a wildly popular treatment, but while topical solutions rarely penetrate as deeply as more invasive therapies administered by medical professionals, the flurry of at-home PDRN formulas have been known to deliver impressive results. Anua's testing panel results for example proved a 24.64% immediate improvement in deep skin hydration after one use and 8.93% improvement in a moisture plumping effect. The serum's success is down to Anua's exclusive ultra-low molecular smart capsule technology, which helps to deliver 100% of the formula's key ingredients to the skin. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'While I wasn't sure about the thought of injecting salon sperm DNA into my face, coating my skin in a topical version of the ingredient seemed somewhat more appealing when I heard about its seriously impressive benefits. The formula seems to tick a plethora of boxes, from surface level issues like hydration and hyperpigmentation to deep-seated concerns like cellular damage. As someone who has dealt with the lows of acne for years, I was eager to see how this serum faired on my textured, discoloured and reactive complexion. Straight off the bat, the serum is very runny and almost water-like but that adds to its ultra-soothing appeal. As you rub it in, it leaves a lightweight, slippery veil of hydration that really does last and leaves skin feeling comforted. I noticed an immediate reduction in my skin's irritability, redness and general angriness, and based on that alone I suspect it will continue to play well against any new bumpy problems. As for that glass skin finish? This delivers a bucket load.' 1. Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum What the brand says: 'A hydrating emerald-toned serum infused with PDRN, hyaluronic acid, and collagen, designed to maintain moisture retention, smoothness, and natural radiance. Suitable for all seasons and versatile in application for a glowing, refreshed look.' What we know: The serum is loaded with an 11-layered hyaluronic acid complex that works to deeply hydrate and low molecular hydrolysed collagen that quickly seeps into the skin, while the star of the show (yes, real) salmon sperm DNA helps to boost the skin's overall appearance and works in synergy with all other ingredients to promote skin-repairing, plumping, and radiance-boosting benefits.
