What is this product?

Buy this for the PDRN and treat the collagen in the name as decoration. The Olive Young listing puts salmon-derived sodium DNA at 200ppm, which is more than most creams will tell you, but it also puts the only collagen entry at 0.1ppm, one part in ten million. Neither figure appears on medicube's own pages, which print the same 59 ingredients with no amounts, so the number you are trusting comes from the retailer. Underneath the pink capsules this is a peptide and hyaluronate cream with niacinamide third, and no fragrance, essential oil or drying alcohol appears among the 59.

What makes it different?

The two printed amounts are the reason to read this label, and the reason to read it carefully: 200ppm and 0.1ppm come from the Olive Young surface only, while the brand's Korean and US pages list both ingredients with no figure. Four peptides run late in the list, acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 and palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, alongside glutathione and salmon roe extract. The US page prints a STUDY RESULTS block crediting a named institution with 33% elasticity improvement at two weeks, but gives no participant count, date or protocol, so it is an assertion of testing rather than an auditable result. Across the four archived pages no pH value and no container form was found. The 55g size ships as a bundle with two minis and an ampoule mask.

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.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 2 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.
