Our read

The Korean label gives both headline ingredients in parts per million: Sodium DNA at 200 ppm (0.02%) and hydrolyzed collagen at 0.1 ppm. Both are in the product name. Salmon egg extract (41) is roe, not DNA.

The cream is built on water, glycerin and niacinamide, with squalane and plant extracts in the current formula. It's fragrance-free, though it contains rose flower water.

Good fit if

A light, fragrance-free niacinamide moisturizer.

Where sources disagree
