Revitalise your skin with the power of clinical innovation. [cite_start]This advanced cream features visible pink capsules packed with Collagen and PDRN (from salmon), a cutting-edge ingredient prized in dermatology for its regenerative properties[cite: 3570, 3598]. The formula works to deeply nourish, improve skin's elasticity, and restore a firm, plump, and youthful radiance. Its rich yet elegant texture melts into the skin, delivering potent ingredients precisely where they're needed.

We understand that addressing signs of ageing like lost firmness can be a priority. This cream is designed to offer a supportive, nourishing solution.

• Who it's for: Anyone concerned with loss of firmness, elasticity, fine lines, dryness, or a dull complexion. Especially beneficial for normal, dry, and mature skin types.
• What it is: A luxurious facial cream with unique pink capsules that dissolve upon application, releasing a potent blend of PDRN, collagen, and nourishing actives.
• What it does: Deeply moisturises, supports skin's natural regeneration process, improves firmness and elasticity, and leaves a healthy, radiant glow.
• When to use: Morning (AM) and evening (PM) as your moisturiser step.
• Texture & Scent: A rich, creamy texture with capsules that melt seamlessly. Features a light, pleasant scent.

Integrate this cream into your routine in just one minute:

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face using your favourite gentle cleanser. Pat dry.
2. Apply Cream: Scoop a pea-sized amount of the PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream. Gently massage onto your face and neck until the capsules are fully dissolved and the cream is absorbed.
3. Protect (AM) or Seal (PM): In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+). In the evening, this is your final nourishing step.

Mindful Tip: Already own a moisturiser? Finish it first to avoid waste before starting this one. Substitute, don't just stack.

In the morning, this cream provides a nourishing base and helps your skin look plump and radiant all day.

Minimalist Morning Routine (3 Steps):

1. Step 1: Cleanse
   Wash with a gentle, hydrating cleanser.
2. Step 2: Apply PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream
   Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck. Its nourishing formula can often serve as your serum and moisturiser in one for a simple morning routine.
3. Step 3: Sunscreen
   Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. This is non-negotiable to protect your skin and the results of your routine.

Optional Additions: If you use other serums (like Vitamin C or Hyaluronic Acid), apply them before this cream. Allow each layer to absorb for about 30-60 seconds.

Your evening routine is the perfect time for repair and regeneration. This cream works overnight to support your skin's natural healing processes.

Minimalist Evening Routine (2-3 Steps):

1. Step 1: Double Cleanse
   Start with an oil-based cleanser like the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based foam or gel cleanser.
2. Step 2 (Optional): Toner/Serum
   Apply any hydrating or treatment serums you use (like retinol or peptides) onto clean, dry skin.
3. Step 3: Apply PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream
   As your final step, apply a pea-sized amount to lock in moisture and provide intensive nourishment while you sleep.

Texture Rule: Always apply your skincare from the thinnest to the thickest consistency (e.g., watery toner → serum → this cream).

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face. Use an additional half-pea for the neck.
• Frequency: Use twice daily, morning (AM) and evening (PM), for best results.
• Method: After your toner and serum steps, scoop the cream using a clean spatula. Gently apply to the face and neck, massaging in upward motions until the pink capsules have fully dissolved and the cream is absorbed.

If-This, Then-That Tips:

• If your skin feels extra dry or is exposed to air-conditioning: Apply a slightly more generous layer at night to use it as an intensive nourishing mask.
• If you have combination or oilier skin: Use a smaller amount during the day or reserve it for your PM routine, especially in Mauritius' humid summer.
• If you are using strong actives (like Retinol or high-strength acids): This cream is an excellent final step to moisturise, soothe, and support your skin barrier. Apply it after your active has fully absorbed.

This cream is a daily moisturiser, designed to be used consistently. Here’s how it fits into a routine that also includes other active ingredients.

• Daily Use: Apply this cream every morning (before sunscreen) and every evening (as your last step).

Example Weekly PM Routine with Other Actives:

• Monday (Retinoid Night): Cleanse → Toner → Retinal Serum (e.g., Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum) → PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream (to buffer and moisturise).
• Tuesday (Exfoliation Night): Cleanse → Exfoliating Toner (e.g., a gentle AHA/BHA) → Hydrating Serum → PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream.
• Wednesday (Repair Night): Cleanse → Hydrating Toner/Essence → PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream.
• Thursday (Retinoid Night): Repeat Monday's routine.
• Friday (Repair Night): Repeat Wednesday's routine.
• Saturday (Exfoliation or Mask Night): Cleanse → Clay Mask → Hydrating Toner → PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream.
• Sunday (Repair Night): Repeat Wednesday's routine.

Key Rule: This cream is a supportive moisturiser that pairs well with most actives. On nights you use strong ingredients like retinoids or acids, it helps to nourish the skin and minimise potential irritation.

Skincare is a journey of consistency. While individual results vary, here is a general timeline of what you can expect with regular twice-daily use.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly softer, deeply hydrated, and looks more radiant. The rich texture provides a comforting, moisturised barrier without feeling heavy.
• Within 2-4 Weeks: You may notice that your skin appears plumper and smoother. Fine lines caused by dehydration are less visible, and your skin's overall texture begins to feel more refined.
• Within 4-8 Weeks: With consistent use, skin should feel firmer and more elastic. The regenerative properties of PDRN and collagen support a healthier-looking complexion with improved resilience and a sustained youthful glow.

Important: These results are best achieved when paired with daily, consistent use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen to prevent new signs of ageing.

• Myth: "Only thick, heavy, greasy creams can fight wrinkles."
  Reality (Why this is better): Modern anti-ageing care focuses on smart ingredients, not just heavy textures. This cream uses advanced actives like PDRN and hydrolysed collagen in an elegant, absorbent formula. [cite_start]These ingredients work at a cellular level to support skin regeneration and firmness, offering more profound benefits than simple heavy occlusion which can sometimes clog pores. [cite: 3570]
• Myth: "You need harsh peels or scrubs to look younger."
  Reality (Why this is better): Aggressive exfoliation can damage the skin barrier and cause inflammation, accelerating ageing in the long run. This cream supports the skin's natural regenerative cycle gently. By nourishing the skin and supporting its structure, it helps improve texture and firmness without the irritation, redness, and downtime of harsh treatments.

This nourishing cream is designed to be a versatile team player in your skincare routine.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Hydrators: Pairs beautifully with Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, and Beta-Glucan. Apply those watery serums first, then use this cream to lock in the moisture.
  • Brighteners: Safe to use with Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Tranexamic Acid serums. This cream can provide a soothing, moisturising base to complement your brightening routine.
  • Peptides: Excellent to use alongside peptide serums to double down on firming and anti-ageing benefits.
• ⚠️ Use With Care:
  • Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal): This is a fantastic cream to use with retinoids. Apply your retinoid serum first, wait 5-10 minutes, then apply this cream on top. This "buffering" technique helps minimise dryness and irritation while supporting skin repair.
  • Exfoliating Acids (AHA, BHA): After using an acid toner or serum, follow with this cream to soothe and moisturise the skin, helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier. Avoid using very high-strength peels on the same night.

• 🟢 Excellent for:
  • Mature Skin: Specifically formulated to address concerns like loss of elasticity, firmness, and fine lines.
  • Dry Skin: Provides deep, lasting moisture and helps reinforce the skin's lipid barrier to prevent water loss.
  • Normal Skin: A perfect daily moisturiser to maintain skin health and prevent premature signs of ageing.
• 🟡 Good for:
  • Combination Skin: Can be used all over, but may be preferred as a night cream or applied more sparingly on the T-zone, especially in humid weather.
• 🔴 Use with Caution:
  • Very Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: While not formulated to be heavy or greasy, its rich, nourishing properties may feel too occlusive for those with very active sebum production. A patch test is recommended to ensure it doesn't feel heavy or cause congestion.

This cream is expertly formulated to address key signs of skin ageing and fatigue:

• Loss of Firmness and Elasticity: PDRN and collagen work together to support the skin's underlying structure, helping it appear firmer and more resilient.
• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By providing intense hydration and supporting collagen, the cream helps to plump the skin, making fine lines and wrinkles appear softer and less prominent.
• Dull, Tired-Looking Skin: The nourishing formula revitalises the complexion, restoring a healthy, youthful radiance and "pink" glow.
• Dryness and Dehydration: Delivers deep, lasting moisture to relieve tightness and flakiness, leaving skin soft and supple.
• Uneven Skin Texture: Supports the skin's natural renewal process to promote a smoother, more refined skin surface over time.

Key Active Ingredients:

• PDRN (Sodium DNA): Derived from salmon, this is a cutting-edge regenerative ingredient. [cite_start]It supports the skin's natural repair processes, helps improve elasticity, and strengthens the skin barrier[cite: 3570].
[cite_start]
• Hydrolyzed Collagen: Smaller molecules of collagen that act as powerful humectants, drawing moisture into the skin to instantly hydrate and plump its appearance, making fine lines look softer[cite: 3568]. The "Pink Collagen" aspect is enhanced by Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin), which gives the capsules their natural pink hue and provides skin-conditioning benefits.
[cite_start]
• Niacinamide: A multi-tasking hero that helps improve skin tone, reduce the appearance of pores, and strengthen the skin's moisture barrier[cite: 3569].
• Peptide Complex: Includes various peptides that work as signaling molecules to support the skin's natural collagen and elastin production, contributing to improved firmness.

Full INCI List:

The complete ingredient list is available on the product's packaging. We are committed to full transparency and will update this section as soon as the digital list is provided by the brand.

• Scent Profile: Contains a light, pleasant fragrance. The intensity is generally considered low and not overpowering.
• Potential Allergens: Without the full INCI list, a complete analysis of EU-designated allergens is not possible. The formula does contain fish-derived ingredients (PDRN from salmon, likely marine collagen). If you have a known fish allergy, a patch test is highly recommended.

*EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI; patch test advised.

General Safety:

• For external use only.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Do not apply to broken, wounded, or irritated skin.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Patch Test Protocol for Sensitive Skin:

We always recommend a patch test before using any new product, especially if you have sensitive skin.

1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the cream to a clean, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner elbow.
2. Wait for 24 hours. Do not wash the area.
3. After 24 hours, check for any signs of reaction like redness, itching, swelling, or burning.
4. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use immediately.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: While most ingredients are considered safe, there is insufficient published data on the topical use of PDRN during pregnancy or breastfeeding. As a precaution, we recommend consulting with your doctor before use.

• Texture: A smooth, mid-weight cream containing small, soft pink capsules that dissolve effortlessly with gentle massage.
• Feel on Skin: Feels rich and nourishing upon application, but absorbs without leaving a heavy, greasy, or sticky residue.
• Finish: Leaves the skin feeling deeply moisturised, soft, and with a healthy, luminous glow.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand. The formula is designed to be gentle and skin-friendly.
• Comedogenicity: While formulated to be non-greasy, individual responses vary. It is not specifically marketed as non-comedogenic. If you have very acne-prone skin, consider a patch test on a small area of your face first.

• Issue: The cream feels a bit too rich for my skin.
  Solution: Try using a smaller amount—a little goes a long way. You can also reserve it for your nighttime routine only, when your skin is in repair mode and can benefit from a more nourishing formula.
• Issue: The product is 'pilling' or balling up on my skin.
  Solution: Pilling is often caused by applying too much product or not allowing previous layers (like serums) to fully absorb. Try using less cream and gently patting it into the skin instead of rubbing. Wait at least 60 seconds after applying your serum before this cream.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after one week.
  Solution: Skincare ingredients that support regeneration and collagen production, like PDRN and peptides, work over time. Consistency is key. Expect to see noticeable improvements in firmness and texture after 4-8 weeks of continuous use, combined with daily sun protection.

This cream's nourishing formula can be adapted perfectly for the Mauritian climate.

• During Humid Summer Months: For those with normal to combination skin, this cream may feel most comfortable as an evening (PM) moisturiser. During the day, you might prefer a lighter gel-based moisturiser. For dry skin types, it can work well for both AM and PM routines, providing a needed barrier against moisture loss even in humidity.
• During Drier Winter Months: This cream is an excellent choice for all skin types (except perhaps very oily) during the cooler, drier season. It provides robust protection against dryness caused by wind and less humid air.
• In Air-Conditioned Environments: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning (office, car, home), your skin can become dehydrated. This cream is ideal for both AM and PM use to combat AC-induced dryness and maintain a healthy skin barrier.

Our description is based on a synthesis of brand-provided information and independent scientific rationale for the key ingredients.

• PDRN (Sodium DNA): (Ingredient Rationale) Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a well-regarded ingredient in clinical and cosmetic dermatology. Originating from salmon DNA, it has been noted in aesthetic medicine for its ability to support skin's natural healing and regeneration processes, improve skin elasticity, and reduce inflammation. [cite_start]K-beauty has adopted this ingredient from the clinic to the countertop as a "second wave" innovation[cite: 3570, 3598].
• Hydrolyzed Collagen: (Ingredient Rationale) While large collagen molecules in skincare primarily act as surface moisturisers, hydrolyzed collagen consists of smaller peptide fragments. [cite_start]These fragments can provide a powerful humectant effect, drawing water into the skin's upper layers to create an immediate plumping effect that helps soften the look of fine lines[cite: 3568].
• Claims: Any specific percentage improvements or clinical results mentioned are based on brand-provided data. *Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.

• Volume: 55g
• Estimated Dose per Use: Approx. 0.5g (a pea-sized amount)
• Total Estimated Uses: Approx. 110 uses per jar.

Reorder Cadence:

• If used twice per day (AM and PM), this jar will last approximately 55 days, or about 8 weeks.
• If used once per day (PM only), this jar will last approximately 110 days, or about 15-16 weeks.

Is PDRN from salmon safe for skin?

Yes, PDRN used in cosmetics is highly purified and has been used in clinical dermatological treatments for years. It is generally considered very safe and well-tolerated. However, if you have a known fish or salmon allergy, it is wise to perform a patch test first.

Can I use this cream with my Retinol serum?

Absolutely. In fact, it's a great combination. This cream can help soothe, hydrate, and support the skin barrier, which can reduce the potential for dryness and irritation often associated with retinol use. Apply your retinol first, wait a few minutes for it to absorb, and then apply this cream on top.

What are the pink capsules inside the cream?

The pink capsules are a specialised delivery system. They contain a concentrated blend of ingredients, including collagen and Vitamin B12 (which gives the pink colour), and are designed to break upon application. This technique helps protect the stability and freshness of the active ingredients until the moment they are applied to your skin.

Will this cream feel too heavy in the summer in Mauritius?

It depends on your skin type. For dry or mature skin, it will likely feel comfortable year-round. For combination or normal skin, you might prefer to use it only at night during the most humid months and opt for a lighter gel moisturiser during the day.

• Best For: Individuals with mature, dry, or normal skin looking to address loss of firmness, elasticity, and overall radiance.
• Key Benefits: Utilises advanced PDRN and collagen technology to support skin regeneration and firmness. Provides deep, lasting nourishment for a plump, youthful glow. Elegant texture that absorbs well without a greasy finish.
