Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum 30ml

Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum is a lightweight hydrating serum for dry, dehydrated or tired-looking skin that wants a plumper, dewy finish without retinol. Anua builds it around a Triple Revitalizing Complex of PDRN, hyaluronic acid and collagen.

How it works

PDRN (listed as sodium DNA) is derived from salmon DNA, according to Anua. Several forms of hyaluronic acid, plus glycerin and hydrolyzed collagen, draw in and hold water, and Anua credits microcapsule technology for effective hydration. Anua's serum guide lists 3% hyaluronic acid. In Anua's testing, deep skin hydration improved by 24.64% and the moisture plumping effect by 8.93% after one use (temporary effects).

Who it suits

Dry, normal and combination skin, and skin that looks flat or dehydrated. Anua labels it non-comedogenic and low-irritation, so oilier skin can use it as a light hydration layer.

What it will not do

It is not a retinol or an exfoliant, so it will not resurface texture or fade dark spots. The plumping is a temporary hydration effect, not a change in skin structure. It contains no peptides, and its PDRN and collagen are animal-derived, so it does not suit anyone avoiding fish-derived ingredients.

Good to know

Anua says the emerald colour is natural, with no artificial colour. Use it morning and night after toner and before cream; Anua suggests layering it 2–3 times at night or blending a drop into foundation for a glassy finish. Wear SPF 30 or higher during the day.

Pair it with

• Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream – the cream from the same PDRN line to seal in the serum, as Anua advises using it under a cream.
• Anua PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray – a PDRN face mist for a quick hydration top-up during the day.
• Anua Heartleaf Pore Cleansing Oil Mild – a gentle cleansing oil that removes sunscreen and make-up without stripping moisture.

1. After toner, apply a few drops and gently pat in.
