My skin gets red easily and most serums make it worse. This one doesn't sting at all, which is the main reason I've kept using it.
Pairs with Infuse+
PDRN & Peptide
Glow Serum
Salmon DNA, niacinamide and a five-peptide complex — the step that makes Infuse+ mode worth running.

The ingredient Korean clinics built a category on
PDRN — polydeoxyribonucleotide — is derived from salmon DNA. It became a staple of Korean skincare because it does something most actives don't: rather than exfoliating or stripping, it works with skin that's already stressed, which is why it turns up in post-procedure care.
Paired with a five-peptide complex and 2% niacinamide, it's built for skin that's been through something. Red, over-treated, reactive, or simply tired.
- Comfortable on sensitive and reactive skin
- No acids, no retinol, no sting
- Layers cleanly under a cream
- Designed to press in with Infuse+ mode
Three actives, stated at strength
Most serums list ingredients without percentages. These are the numbers on the bottle.
PDRN
Sodium DNA · Salmon-derived
The core of the formula. Chosen for how well it sits on skin that's reactive or recovering, rather than for how fast it works.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide
A well-studied vitamin B3 derivative. Supports the skin barrier and helps even out the look of tone and pore size over time.
Peptide Complex
Five peptides + Collagen
Peptides support the appearance of firmness and bounce. Paired with collagen for a smoother, more cushioned finish.
Where it sits in the ritual
After the device, before the cream. On Infuse+ mode it goes on while you treat.
After cleansing
Three to four drops on clean skin, morning or night. Press in with your palms rather than rubbing.
With Infuse+
Apply the serum, then run Infuse+ mode for a few minutes. The device presses it in rather than leaving it to sit on the surface.
Seal it
Follow with the Capsule Cream while skin is still slightly damp. That's what keeps it from evaporating off.
Sinks in fast and doesn't leave anything tacky behind. I can put my cream straight over it without waiting.
Using it with Infuse+ makes a noticeable difference versus just patting it on. Skin looks plumper the next morning.
Took about a month before I saw much, but the redness around my nose has calmed down a lot. Worth sticking with.
No fragrance, no weird smell, just a light pink liquid. Three drops covers my whole face so the bottle lasts.
Bought it in the Glow bundle and it's the part I'd repurchase first. My skin texture looks more even under makeup.
What exactly is PDRN?
Polydeoxyribonucleotide, derived from salmon DNA. It's widely used in Korean skincare, particularly in products aimed at stressed or post-procedure skin, because it tends to be well tolerated rather than aggressive.
Do I need the device to use it?
No — it works as a standalone serum, morning or night. But Infuse+ mode presses it in rather than leaving it to absorb on its own, which is why it's included in the Glow and Complete bundles.
Can I use it with retinol or acids?
Yes, though not in the same layer. Use your acid or retinol on alternate nights, or apply this one in the morning and the stronger active at night. If your skin is already irritated, use this one alone for a week first.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
It's formulated for it — fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested, with no acids or retinol. If your skin is reactive, patch test on your inner forearm for 24 hours before applying to your face.
How long does a bottle last?
Around six to eight weeks with nightly use, longer if you use it in the mornings only. Three to four drops is enough for the whole face.
How long does shipping take?
US orders arrive in 3–5 business days, and this ships free since orders over $35 qualify. You'll get a tracking number by email once it's on its way.
What's the return policy?
Unopened bottles can be returned within 30 days. If something arrives damaged, email us and we'll replace it.
It works harder with the device
Infuse+ mode is built to press this serum in rather than leave it sitting on the surface. The Glow bundle pairs the two and saves you $27 against buying each piece separately.
