PDRN

PDRN is a DNA‑derived complex used in serums and creams to support skin repair, hydration, and elasticity for a healthier‑looking complexion.

Classic PDRN is often fish‑derived (commonly called “salmon DNA”). Some brands offer vegan, plant‑based nucleotide complexes marketed as PHYTO PDRN (e.g., PHYTO PDRN Panax) that aim to deliver similar benefits—without animal ingredients.

• Vegan / PHYTO PDRN: fish‑free, great if you’re vegan or have seafood allergies/sensitivities.
• Salmon PDRN: widely used and popular; choose if you’re comfortable with marine ingredients.
  
  Both depend on overall formula quality—pick based on your values, sensitivities, and texture preference.

• Salmon‑derived: often listed as Sodium DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
• Vegan / PHYTO: may appear as Nucleotides and/or a brand complex name (e.g., PHYTO PDRN Panax). Check the product page for “vegan” badges.
