The Science Behind Our Products

Rejuran® uses c-PDRN® to encourage dramatic age-defying results for more radiant, youthful looking skin.

What is c-PDRN®?

c-PDRN® was developed by a team of Korean skincare and research scientists who previously discovered how to harness the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate cells with PDRN-Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a powerful skin-renewing ingredient derived from naturally occurring marine DNA. PDRN is a proprietary and registered drug that possesses several qualities: tissue repair, anti-ischemic, and anti-inflammatory. PDRN was originally created for dermatologists as an injectable biostimulator to induce production of natural collagen. The revolutionary anti-aging ingredient became one of the most sought-after dermatological treatments in Asia and Europe.

c-PDRN® was developed for use in cosmetics to help improve the appearance of skin health.


The Power of Science and Nature

Real Results

Rejuran’s clinically proven ingredients and exclusive c-PDRN® technology bring you skincare with results you can see.

How it Works

c-PDRN® is a patented next-generation ingredient, technically known as Hydrolyzed DNA, the building blocks of life. As you age, your skin produces less collagen and cellular turnover slows from 28 days to as many as 50 days, resulting in dull, sagging, damaged skin. c-PDRN® helps improve the appearance of damaged skin, restoring the look of skin’s elasticity and firmness.

Why it Works

c-PDRN® molecules are 670 times smaller than human skin pores. This low molecular weight allows it to be more easily absorbed through topical skincare products for fast, effective results. Unlike ingredients with a high molecular weight that are poorly absorbed and sit on top of your skin, c-PDRN’s tiny molecules are readily absorbed for maximum benefit.

What c-PDRN® Does

Regenerate the Appearance of Skin

  • Delivers a brighter looking complexion, smoother skin, and improves the look of fine lines & wrinkles
  • Addresses dull, dry, flaky skin that can come with age and slowing cell regeneration

Improve the Look of Skin Elasticity

  • Helps improve the look of skin firmness, reducing the appearance of sagging and low skin elasticity

Promotes Skin Rejuvenation

  • Naturally occurring growth factor cell stimulators
  • Improves the look of fine lines & wrinkles
  • Improves the appearance of skin tone and texture
  • Improves the appearance of dark spots, skin blemishes, and facial scars

Skin Rejuvenation, Backed by Science
