PDRN Hyaluronic Capsule 100 Serum

Yes, this serum is considered safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. It contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or other ingredients typically flagged during pregnancy. The formula focuses on gentle hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and PDRN. However, if you have concerns, always consult your healthcare provider before adding new products to your routine.

No, this serum is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains Glyceryl Oleate and Polyglyceryl-6 Laurate, which are known triggers for malassezia yeast. If you're prone to fungal acne or pityrosporum folliculitis, consider the ANUA PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream instead, which has been reported as FA-safe, or look for alternative PDRN serums with cleaner ingredient lists.

Yes! This serum is highly compatible with other actives. It pairs especially well with vitamin C (apply PDRN serum after vitamin C) and can be used alongside retinol to provide extra hydration and support barrier recovery. For AHA/BHA, apply acids first, wait a few minutes, then use this serum to soothe and hydrate. The formula is gentle enough to complement most active-heavy routines.

This serum excels for dry, dehydrated, combination, and sensitive skin types. It's particularly excellent for those seeking intense hydration and the glass skin glow. Oily skin types may find it slightly too dewy—use sparingly or as a night treatment. It's not recommended for those with fungal acne due to potential trigger ingredients.

Hydration benefits are immediate—you'll notice plumper, dewier skin right after application. Texture improvements typically appear within 1-2 weeks of consistent use. For barrier strengthening and the cumulative benefits of PDRN (improved elasticity, faster healing), expect 4-8 weeks of regular use. Anti-aging effects are subtle and build gradually over 2-3 months.

Apply after cleansing and toning, before heavier treatments, moisturizer, and sunscreen. The order is: Cleanser → Toner → (Vitamin C if using) → ANUA PDRN Serum → Other serums/treatments → Moisturizer → Sunscreen (AM). At night, you can layer it 2-3 times as a sleeping treatment or mix it with your night cream.

This serum has a low comedogenic rating of 1/5 and is unlikely to clog pores for most people. The water-based, lightweight formula absorbs quickly without leaving heavy residue. However, it does contain ingredients that may trigger fungal acne specifically (different from regular comedogenic acne). If you have congestion-prone skin but not fungal acne, it should be well-tolerated.

The serum has a PAO (Period After Opening) of 12 months. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain efficacy. The 30ml bottle typically lasts 1-2 months with regular twice-daily use (2-3 drops per application). If you notice any changes in color, texture, or smell before the 12-month mark, discontinue use.
