The Firming Duo: PDRN Meets Peptides
PDRN and peptides are the two actives behind the “pink peptide” and “salmon peptide” serums trending on Amazon and TikTok. This complex combines Sodium DNA with a peptide complex in one clear liquid for firming serums, ampoules and eye care.
The Source Behind PDRN Peptide Complex
The Korean producer pre-blends the two actives so formulators get a single, consistent ingredient. It is designed for premium anti-aging formats where a short, impressive INCI line matters.
Why Formulators Choose PDRN Peptide Complex
Brands choose it for high-ticket firming and “skin longevity” concepts. It lets you claim PDRN and peptides with one raw material and pairs naturally with copper peptides and Matrixyl.

Formulator Tips
- Combine 3% with our Matrixyl 3000 Peptide Solution for a layered peptide claim.
- Keep the finished pH between 5 and 7; peptides and DNA both dislike strong acids.
- Add during cool-down below 40 °C and mix gently.
