Anua PDRN HYALURONIC ACID CAPSULE 100 SERUM 30ML

Dealing with skin that feels tight, looks dull, or shows signs of stress? This serum is designed as a deep hydration and repair treatment, perfect for the Mauritian climate where sun and air-conditioning can compromise your skin's barrier. Its lightweight, watery texture delivers intensive moisture without feeling heavy or sticky.

Values You Can Trust: Halal-Friendly* / Cruelty-Free* / 100% Authentic Guarantee

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient data (no ethanol/denat.; PDRN is derived from salmon, a permissible source). / *Brand-stated; not certified by an independent body.

If your skin feels constantly dehydrated, irritated, or is showing early signs of aging like fine lines and loss of firmness, this serum offers a targeted solution. It focuses on replenishing moisture at multiple levels while supporting the skin's natural repair processes for a stronger, plumper, and more radiant complexion.

• Texture: A very lightweight, runny, water-like serum.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly to leave a plump, dewy, "glass skin" glow without stickiness.
• Best For: Dehydrated, Sensitive, Damaged, and Aging Skin. Also suitable for Normal and Combination skin needing a hydration boost.
• Key Benefits: Provides immediate and deep hydration, helps repair a compromised skin barrier, soothes redness and irritation, and improves skin elasticity and fine lines over time.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Anua PDRN Serum: Apply 2-3 drops to your face and neck, patting gently until absorbed.
3. Protect/Moisturise: Follow with your daily sunscreen in the morning, or a moisturiser at night to seal in the hydration.

Mindful Tip: Already using a hydrating serum? Finish it before opening this one. Substitute, don't just stack, to respect your skin and avoid waste.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle face wash.
2. Anua PDRN Serum: Apply 2-3 drops for a powerful hydration boost that sits beautifully under other products.
3. Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+). This is non-negotiable in Mauritius to protect your skin and the results of your routine.

Optional Additions: If your skin is very dry, you can layer a light moisturiser before your sunscreen. Wait 1-2 minutes after the serum before applying subsequent products to prevent pilling.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil cleanser to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. Anua PDRN Serum: Apply 2-4 drops. At night, you can be slightly more generous or even apply a second layer to act as a light sleeping pack for intensive repair.
3. Moisturiser: Lock everything in with a nourishing moisturiser suited to your skin type.

Optional Additions: If you use other targeted treatments like retinoids or exfoliating acids, you can use this serum on alternate nights or in the same routine to provide soothing hydration and support barrier health.

Daily Use — AM & PM:

• Amount: 2-3 drops is sufficient for the face and neck. The texture is very runny, so dispense into your palm first rather than directly onto your face to avoid drips.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed and toned skin.
• Method: Smooth over your skin and then gently pat until fully absorbed.
• Frequency: Can be used once or twice daily. Start with once a day if your skin is very sensitive.

If-This / Then-That Tips:

• If you have dry/dehydrated skin: Apply to slightly damp skin and immediately follow with a cream-based moisturiser to lock in the powerful hydrating effects.
• If you have oily/combination skin: In Mauritius' humidity, this lightweight serum may provide enough moisture on its own during the day. Follow directly with sunscreen.
• If your skin is irritated or sensitised: This serum is excellent for calming redness and repairing a damaged barrier. Use it as your primary treatment step before a simple, fragrance-free moisturiser.
• If you're using it under makeup: Wait 1-2 minutes for it to fully absorb before applying primer or foundation. This helps prevent pilling and provides a smooth, glassy base.

This serum is a gentle, daily-use product focused on hydration and repair. It can be used every day, morning and night, and integrates easily with other active ingredients.

• Daily Use: Apply AM and/or PM after cleansing and toning.

Example Week with Other Actives (PM Focus):

• Mon: Anua PDRN Serum → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Tue: Anua PDRN Serum → Soothing Moisturiser (Recovery Night)
• Wed: Exfoliating Acid (AHA/BHA) → Anua PDRN Serum → Moisturiser
• Thu: Anua PDRN Serum → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Fri: Anua PDRN Serum → Soothing Moisturiser (Recovery Night)
• Sat: Anua PDRN Serum → Sleeping Pack
• Sun: Anua PDRN Serum → Soothing Moisturiser (Recovery Night)

Key Rule: This serum is a supportive player. It helps buffer stronger actives like retinoids and acids, reducing irritation and supporting barrier health. Avoid using strong retinoids and strong acids on the same night.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly hydrated, plump, and soothed. Redness may appear calmer. It provides a visible "glass skin" dewy glow.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin barrier function improves. You may notice less sensitivity, reduced flakiness, and a smoother overall skin texture.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The regenerative properties of PDRN contribute to improved skin elasticity and firmness. The appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration is visibly reduced. Skin looks healthier and more resilient.

Why use a dedicated hydrating serum, not just a heavy cream?

Many believe a thick cream is the only solution for dry skin, but this can feel heavy and clog pores, especially in Mauritius. This serum uses multiple types of Hyaluronic Acid to deliver water deep into the skin, while a moisturiser on top acts as a seal. This layering method provides more effective, breathable hydration than a single heavy cream alone.

This serum is highly compatible and acts as a universal support for almost any routine.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C, Retinoids (Retinol/Retinal), Niacinamide, Exfoliating Acids (AHA/BHA/PHA), and Peptides. Using it alongside these actives can help reduce potential irritation and support a healthy skin barrier.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. Due to its watery texture, always apply it before heavier creams or oils to ensure proper absorption.
• How to Layer: Apply after cleansing and toning, but before your moisturiser. If using multiple serums, apply in order of thinnest to thickest texture.

• Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides essential water-based hydration that dry skin lacks.
• Sensitive & Reactive: Ideal. The formula is designed to soothe, calm redness, and repair a compromised barrier. It is fragrance-free.
• Normal & Combination: Very suitable. It provides balanced hydration without being heavy on the T-zone.
• Oily & Acne-Prone: Generally suitable. It is non-comedogenic and provides lightweight hydration that can help balance sebum production. Its reparative properties are also beneficial for post-acne marks (PIE).
• Mature: Highly recommended. Addresses dehydration and loss of firmness, helping to plump fine lines and improve elasticity.

• Dehydration and skin tightness
• Damaged or compromised skin barrier
• Redness and irritation
• Loss of elasticity and firmness
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dullness and rough skin texture

• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that strengthens the skin barrier, brightens skin tone, regulates oil production, and has anti-inflammatory properties. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Hydrolyzed Collagen: Helps to hydrate and improve skin elasticity, giving the skin a firmer appearance. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Adenosine: An MFDS-certified anti-wrinkle ingredient that energizes the skin's surface, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Glutathione: A powerful antioxidant that helps to brighten the skin and improve overall skin tone. (Ingredient Rationale)

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent: The serum is virtually odorless.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.

• Who should use with caution: While generally very gentle, anyone with a known allergy to fish-derived ingredients should perform a patch test.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: There is insufficient published data on the topical use of PDRN during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We advise consulting with your doctor before use.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner wrist. Wait 24-48 hours. If no irritation occurs, you can proceed with facial application.
• If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. If irritation is severe or persists, consult a healthcare professional. Avoid applying to broken or eczematous skin.

• Texture: Extremely lightweight and watery, almost like a fluid essence. It has a smooth, slippery feel that glides easily over the skin.
• Finish: Absorbs very quickly, leaving the skin feeling instantly plump, hydrated, and refreshed with a visible dewy glow. It is not sticky or greasy.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but likely formulated in a skin-friendly range of pH 5.5 - 6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This formula appears to be fungal acne-safe based on an analysis of its ingredients (no oils, esters, or fatty acids that are known triggers). As always, individual responses may vary.

• Issue: Pilling under makeup or sunscreen.
  Solution: You may be using too much product or not waiting long enough between steps. Use only 2-3 drops and allow the serum to absorb completely (about 1-2 minutes) before applying your next layer.
• Issue: Skin still feels a bit tight after use.
  Solution: This serum is a powerful humectant (it draws water in), but it contains few occlusive ingredients to seal that water. Always follow up with a moisturiser to lock in the hydration, especially if you have dry skin or are in an air-conditioned environment.
• Issue: Not seeing results after one week.
  Solution: While initial hydration is instant, the reparative and collagen-boosting benefits of PDRN take time. Consistent use for at least 4-8 weeks is needed to see significant improvements in texture and firmness. Ensure you are also using sunscreen daily to protect the results.

This serum is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: Its ultra-lightweight, non-greasy texture is perfect for hot and humid weather. It provides deep hydration without feeling heavy or sticky, and can even serve as a standalone light moisturiser for very oily skin types during the day.
• Drier Winters / Air-Conditioning: It effectively combats the dehydration caused by drier winter air or constant exposure to air-conditioning. In these conditions, it should be layered under a more substantial moisturiser to prevent moisture loss.
