Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum Mask
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-09
What is this product?
Worth buying for hydration on reactive skin, with the PDRN headline treated as positioning rather than as the reason. It is a 23 ml sheet, sold singly or in tens, and its 45 ingredient list is stripped of the usual provocateurs: sweeps for eleven fragrance and allergen tokens, four drying alcohol tokens and ten exfoliating acid tokens all return zero, with citric acid present only as a buffer. The countable brand claim holds exactly, since machine counting confirms eight hyaluronic acid family entries in both the Korean and English lists. The firming story does not travel as well: hydrolyzed collagen sits 31st, sodium DNA 18th with no concentration printed on this label, and the PDRN evidence base is injectable rather than topical. Brand-cited figures of up to 27.86 percent and 8.12 percent carry no institution, n or instrument. There is no occlusive, so follow with a cream. Salmon-derived.
What makes it different?
A dual-notified functional mask whose ingredient list is stripped of the usual irritants entirely, paired with a salmon DNA headline whose concentration this SKU never prints even though its sibling serum prints ppm values for the same actives.
What is in it?
The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
