Description
The PDRN Pink Peptide Eye Cream is medicube’s eye-area treatment from the PDRN Pink line. The brand also describes it as an eye serum, thanks to its light texture. It combines PDRN with several peptides, a small amount of retinol and niacinamide, and medicube designs it to help the eye area look brighter, smoother and less tired. The brand notes it can also be used on other areas of the face that show early signs of aging.
Key ingredients
- Salmon DNA PDRN – the headline ingredient of the PDRN line.
- Peptide blend – including copper tripeptide-1, acetyl hexapeptide-8 and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4.
- Retinol – a vitamin A derivative used in smoothing formulas.
- Niacinamide – helps support a brighter, more even look.
How to use
- As the last step of your routine, take a small amount.
- Apply to the under-eye area or any area of the face you want to target.
- Pat lightly to enhance absorption.
- Use sunscreen during the day.
Who it suits
Medicube lists combination, dry and oily skin. It is aimed at people concerned with dark-looking circles, puffiness, uneven tone and dullness around the eyes.
Good to know
Because it contains retinol, start gradually if you are new to vitamin A or have sensitive skin, and avoid layering it with other retinoids or strong actives on the same area. Ask a healthcare professional before using retinoid products during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The PDRN is fish-derived. Patch test first: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm for a few days and stop using the product if redness, itching or stinging appears. Avoid the eye area unless the product is designed for it, and speak with a pharmacist or dermatologist if you have a known skin condition or allergy.
