Expert Review Summary
Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum brings dermatology-inspired salmon-derived PDRN (Sodium DNA) to everyday skincare alongside 11 distinct forms of hyaluronic acid for multi-depth hydration. The formula also includes hydrolyzed collagen, glutathione, and adenosine to support elasticity and a brighter complexion over time.
The 11-type HA complex spans full-weight, hydrolyzed, acetylated, crosspolymer, and potassium salt variants, allowing the serum to work at both the skin surface and deeper epidermal layers simultaneously. PDRN supports skin repair and microcirculation, while glutathione tempers oxidative stress and discoloration. Brand clinical testing confirmed a 24.64% temporary hydration improvement after a single application.
At $30 for 30ml, this serum occupies a compelling mid-tier position for anyone interested in PDRN technology without clinic-grade prices. It layers easily under moisturizer and SPF, making it a practical fit for morning and evening routines targeting plumpness, luminosity, and long-term resilience.
