Genabelle PDRN Rejuvenating Cream

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-23

What is this product?

A 70ml tube cream from the Korean brand Genabelle, built around salmon-derived DNA. The brand discloses PDRN at 1,000ppm, which is 0.1 percent, and a renewed version that adds a five-base DNA complex; all five bases appear in the printed list. Niacinamide and adenosine are present under a 2021 brightening and wrinkle functional report. The base is hydrating and lightly occlusive: glycerin and dipropylene glycol, evening primrose oil, beeswax and four silicones. A fragrance entry is declared, and there is no exfoliating acid and no ethanol. The brand ran a single-application panel of 21 women with untreated control sites, and some printed figures on its own charts do not reconcile with their headlines. A 2019 patch test on 31 adults scored 0.00.

What makes it different?

Discloses its DNA dose, 0.1 percent PDRN, and names a five-base DNA complex that appears in full in the printed list, on top of a registered niacinamide and adenosine functional base. Its efficacy panel uses untreated control sites, and several of the printed figures do not match their own headlines.

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.

We could not place these in the list above: 달맞이꽃오일, 피이지-100스테아레이트, 글리세릴스테아레이트
