🧬 Key active ingredients
Salmon DNA PDRN – Sodium DNA
The signature ingredient of the product line appears as Sodium DNA in the INCI.
It serves as a cosmetic skin conditioning agent to support a more hydrated, plumper and elastic appearance.
Medicube does not specify an official PDRN percentage for this product, so we would not assign a concentration arbitrarily either.
8 types of hyaluronic acid
The current formula contains eight different forms of hyaluronic acid:
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
- Potassium Hyaluronate
These various forms of hyaluronic acid support a water-binding system that promotes softer, plumper and longer-lasting hydrated skin feel.
Niacinamide
A versatile form of vitamin B3 that helps achieve a more even, radiant skin appearance and supports proper skin barrier function.
5-peptide complex
The formula contains five different peptides:
- Copper Tripeptide-1
- Dipeptide-2
- Oligopeptide-1
- Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4
- Tripeptide-1
These peptides are part of the formula supporting smoother, more elastic and well-cared-for skin appearance.
Vitamin B12 – Cyanocobalamin
Vitamin B12 is also included in the INCI. The formula contains no artificial colouring.
Ceramide NP + cholesterol
Ingredients related to the skin’s natural lipids that help support a more comfortable skin feel and moisture retention.
Adenosine
A cosmetic active ingredient that supports smoother, more elastic skin appearance and the less pronounced overall effect of fine lines.
Collagen and protein complex
The formula contains Hydrolyzed Collagen, Succinoyl Atelocollagen, Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein, Pearl Extract and Pearl Powder.
These primarily serve as hydrating, conditioning and film-forming ingredients – they do not rebuild the skin’s own collagen.
📊 What did the manufacturer’s tests show?
According to Medicube’s finished product tests:
- A 169% improvement was measured in the deeper hydration indicator tested,
- A 48.56% improvement in surface hydration,
- A 12.95% decrease in the measured value of visible darker spots,
- A 3.21% decrease in the visible redness associated with dryness indicator tested.
These are manufacturer cosmetic test results, so individual results may vary.
🎯 Who is it recommended for?
It can be a particularly good choice for:
- combination skin,
- oiler skin,
- dehydrated skin,
- dull skin,
- uneven skin tone,
- loss of firmness,
- if you want light hydration without a heavy serum feel,
- for warmer, humid weather,
- under makeup,
- in layered routines,
- if the original PDRN Pink Peptide Serum feels too rich.
🧴 How to use
After toner, apply 2–3 drops to the face, then gently pat in.
If your skin needs more hydration, you can apply several thin layers instead of one thick layer.
Follow with a moisturising cream.
Can be used both morning and evening. Its light, non-greasy texture works well under makeup.
💗 Why we love it
Because Ultra Light is not simply a “diluted” version of the original PDRN Pink Peptide Serum.
It has its own formula: alongside PDRN + niacinamide + 8 hyaluronic acids + 5 peptides it also contains ceramide, cholesterol, adenosine and various conditioning ingredients, while the texture remains particularly light.
Therefore, it can be a good entry point into the Pink PDRN line for those who prefer not to use rich, dewy serums due to oily or combination skin.
❓ Q&A
Is this the same as the original PDRN Pink Peptide Serum?
No. The Ultra Light is a different formula, with a lighter, more watery and faster-absorbing texture.
The original PDRN Pink Peptide Serum is richer, more nourishing, with a stronger dewy feel, so it may be ideal for normal to dry skin or drier seasons.
Which should I choose: the original or the Ultra Light version?
Choose the Ultra Light if:
- your skin is combination or oilier,
- you use it in warm, humid weather,
- you want easy layering,
- you are looking for a serum to wear under makeup,
- you don’t like richer, shinier finishes.
Choose the original PDRN Pink Peptide Serum if you have drier skin, want more nourishing hydration and a stronger glowing, dewy finish.
How much PDRN does it contain?
The current official product page does not provide an exact percentage or ppm concentration.
However, Sodium DNA appears relatively high in the INCI list, and medicube promotes it as one of the main ingredients.
Is the PDRN derived from salmon?
Yes. Medicube markets it as Salmon DNA PDRN.
The formula also contains Fish Extract and Salmon Egg Extract, so it is not vegan.
Is it safe to use if you have a fish allergy?
Since it contains Salmon DNA PDRN, Fish Extract and Salmon Egg Extract, we would not recommend the product for those with fish allergies.
How many types of hyaluronic acid does it contain?
According to the current INCI, it contains 8 different forms of hyaluronic acid.
How many types of peptides does it contain?
Five different peptides: Copper Tripeptide-1, Dipeptide-2, Oligopeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 and Tripeptide-1.
What gives it the pink shade?
The formula contains Cyanocobalamin, that is Vitamin B12, while medicube states there are no artificial colourants.
Does it contain fragrance?
The current official INCI does not list Parfum/Fragrance, and medicube promotes it as a fragrance-free formula.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Medicube communicates a low irritation test and describes it as a light formula intended for daily use. Naturally, with very reactive skin, it is advisable to monitor individual skin reactions with any new product.
Can it be used under makeup?
Yes. This is one of its advantages: a fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture that provides a hydrated, smooth base for makeup.
Can it be used daily?
Yes. It can be used both morning and evening and does not require gradual introduction.
