At-a-Glance (30s) (quick overview)
If your skin feels "raw," thin, or has lost its bounce due to environmental stress, this concentrated 5,000ppm PDRN cream acts as a "liquid bandage." It focuses on cellular repair and deep-tissue recovery rather than just surface hydration.
- Target: Damaged barriers, fine lines, and post-procedure/irritated skin.
- Texture: Silky, medium-weight cream that melts without a heavy residue.
- Key Actives: 5,000ppm PDRN (Plant-based) + 3-Peptide Complex.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (how to use it)
- Cleanser: Start with a gentle wash to preserve natural oils.
- [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply a pea-sized amount as your final moisture step.
- Sunscreen (AM): Essential to protect repaired skin from UV damage.
Note: Substitute this for your regular moisturizer when your skin feels reactive or "tired."

- Method: Warm between fingertips and press into the skin (Method: smooth β light pat).

- If-This / Then-That: Post-exfoliation? Use a slightly thicker layer to calm the skin.
Watchouts: Avoid using on weeping or infected skin; best for dry, irritated, or aging skin.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (patience for progress)
- Immediate: Soothes "tight" or stinging sensations instantly.
- 2 Weeks: Skin barrier feels more resilient and less reactive to the sun/AC.
- 4β8+ Weeks: Visible improvement in skin density and softening of fine "dehydration" lines.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (evidence-based choices)
- Why PDRN, not just Vaseline? Vaseline only traps moisture (occlusive); PDRN actively signals cells to repair and regenerate micro-damage.
- Why Plant PDRN, not Salmon PDRN? Dr. Althea uses a vegan, plant-derived PDRN that offers similar regenerative benefits without animal sourcing, making it inclusive for all lifestyles.
