medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum (Salmon DNA)

Where the PDRN sits on the label
- The DNA ingredients on the label: Sodium DNA (ingredient 8 of 40) and Milt Extract (ingredient 14 of 40).
- There is no preservative with a legal 1% cap on this list to measure against, so the label alone can't place the DNA above or below 1%.
- The brand's own claim: "PDRN 10,000 ppm (Korean product page)".
- Contains fragrance (ingredient 20).
How we read ingredient lists →
Our read
Sodium DNA sits eighth, right after niacinamide and 1,2-hexanediol, and there's a second fish-derived ingredient, milt extract, at 14. That makes this one of the more PDRN-forward serums in our database, and medicube's Korean page states 10,000 ppm (1%), which the position supports.
The catch is the version. medicube sells a vegan 'Rose PDRN' formula under the same name, and there Sodium DNA falls to 30th of 38, after the fragrance. If PDRN is why you're buying, check that the box or listing says salmon. The formula also contains fragrance, despite medicube.us listing fragrance among the things it's made without.
Good fit if
A first PDRN serum with the DNA genuinely high on the list, as long as you tolerate fragrance.
Skip it if
You're fragrance-sensitive, or you can't confirm you're getting the salmon version rather than the rose one.

Where sources disagree
- medicube sells a salmon version and a 'Rose PDRN' version of this serum under the same US page, with different formulas. This entry is the salmon version. The rose version is listed separately in our database.
- medicube.us says the formula is made without fragrance, EDTA and acrylates, but the published ingredient list contains fragrance, disodium EDTA and acrylate copolymers.
- INCIDecoder's copy of this list is in a scrambled order. We use medicube's own list.
