Five PDRN Creams Compared by Price, Source, and Label Disclosure: General Cream or Booster?
6 min read
Quick verdict: Match the cream’s role to its disclosed formula, then compare unit cost.
- For general moisture care and a stated PDRN percentage, Abib PDRN intensive cream lists 1.5% salmon DNA–derived PDRN with ceramides, panthenol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.
- For a targeted booster, Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème lists PDRN at 15,000 ppm and Volufiline at 10,000 ppm, with retinal and peptides also named.
- REJURAN names c-PDRN, Anua puts “100” in the cream name, and Medicube offers Salmon DNA PDRN or Rose PDRN (Vegan).
- Only the Abib booster and Medicube entries have a paired listed price and net volume for a cost-per-100-mL snapshot: $79.33 and $52, respectively.
The clearest distinction in these five options is format: Abib positions its intensive cream for moisture care, while its Volume fill-it Booster crème is a targeted formula with two stated ingredient amounts.
Price and availability entries are U.S. listing snapshots retrieved on October 2, 2026; per-100-mL amounts use the displayed price and stated package volume.
Five listings: what each maker says about PDRN
| Cream | Net package size | U.S. price snapshot and purchase type | Calculated cost per 100 mL | Maker-stated PDRN source and amount | Listing status and other formula details |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abib PDRN intensive cream | Not established in the available listing record | A matched package price is not established | — | Salmon DNA–derived PDRN, 1.5% | Abib names ceramides, panthenol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid for moisture care. |
| Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème | 30 mL | $23.80 listed sale price, $28 regular price on the Abib U.S. homepage; purchase frequency is unspecified | $79.33 using the $23.80 listed price | PDRN (Salmon DNA), 15,000 ppm | Volufiline is listed at 10,000 ppm; retinal and peptides are also named. The homepage card displays Add to Cart; the product page also displays Sold Out. |
| REJURAN Nutritive Cream | Not established in the available listing record | $43.20 one-time purchase, $54 regular price; $38.02 subscription price, with delivery options every 1, 2, or 4 months | — | c-PDRN®, described by REJURAN as “a marine growth factor”; no numeric amount established in the available listing record | The product page displays Add to Cart. |
| Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream | Not established in the available listing record | A matched package price is not established | — | PDRN appears in the product name; no separate PDRN amount is established in the available listing record | The moisturizer card displays Add to Cart. “100” is part of the product name. |
| Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Cream | 50 mL | $26 listed sale price, $27 regular price | $52 using the $26 listed price | Salmon DNA PDRN or Rose PDRN (Vegan); no numeric amount established in the available listing record | The U.S. collection marks the Salmon DNA option out of stock. Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide are listed key ingredients. |
A dash means this comparison does not quote a numeric PDRN concentration for that product. A stated PDRN amount helps compare formula disclosure, while cost per 100 mL compares the package price.
Abib’s general cream and booster serve different roles
Abib PDRN intensive cream is the closer match for a shopper seeking one cream framed around moisture care. Its official description states 1.5% salmon DNA–derived PDRN and names ceramides, panthenol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid as part of the formula. Those ingredients and the cream format make this the straightforward Abib choice when the priority is a moisturizing cream with a plainly stated PDRN amount.
The PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème is the separate option for someone who wants a targeted booster-style cream and more than one quantified formula detail. Abib lists PDRN (Salmon DNA) at 15,000 ppm and Volufiline at 10,000 ppm; the maker also names retinal and peptides. Its product positioning focuses on the appearance of hollow areas, lines, and elasticity, so its described role differs from the intensive cream’s broader moisture-care framing.
The Booster crème suits shoppers who want a separate targeted step rather than a general moisturizer.
What the other three listings disclose
REJURAN’s Nutritive Cream uses the brand-specific term c-PDRN. REJURAN’s Nutritive Cream page describes c-PDRN® as “a marine growth factor.” That wording gives shoppers a product identity and a manufacturer description to compare with Abib’s more explicit salmon-DNA wording and percentage disclosure.
Anua’s official cream listing names the product PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream. The cream name includes “100,” while the listing gives no separate PDRN concentration.
Medicube gives shoppers a source choice within PDRN Pink Peptide Cream: Salmon DNA PDRN or Rose PDRN (Vegan). The official cream page also names hyaluronic acid and niacinamide among its key ingredients. Medicube describes its Rose PDRN information as raw-material characteristics and labels the option Rose PDRN (Vegan).
What the price snapshots can and cannot tell you
Among the two listings with both a price and package volume, Abib’s 30 mL booster at $23.80 works out to $79.33 per 100 mL, while Medicube’s 50 mL cream at $26 works out to $52 per 100 mL. Package size changes the price comparison: Abib has the lower listed package price, while Medicube has the lower calculated price per volume. Medicube’s U.S. collection marked the Salmon DNA option out of stock in the October 2, 2026 snapshot.
REJURAN’s listing separates a one-time purchase at $43.20 from a $38.02 subscription, with delivery choices every one, two, or four months. Those amounts describe different purchase arrangements, while the listing record available here gives no package volume for a per-milliliter comparison.
The visible differences include package size, promotion, purchase type, and the formula details each maker features. A PDRN amount helps compare formula disclosure, while cost per volume compares package price; neither measure by itself ranks cosmetic performance.
How to read the amount on a label
A maker-stated percentage or ppm value is more specific than a general ingredient name. Abib’s intensive cream states 1.5% salmon DNA–derived PDRN, and its booster lists 15,000 ppm PDRN alongside 10,000 ppm Volufiline.
An ingredient list answers a different question from a numeric amount statement. The FDA’s cosmetics labeling regulation describes ingredient order by concentration. The FDA Cosmetics Labeling Guide explains that one permitted format lists non-color ingredients above 1% in descending order, then ingredients at 1% or less in any order, followed by color additives.
A PLOS ONE study of topical PDRN examines the delivery and efficacy of a defined medium-length preparation, PDRN-850K, in photodamaged skin. Its findings concern that preparation and setting, while these five listings describe distinct finished formulas.
Which cream fits your price and label priorities?
| Your priority | Best fit among these listings | What the maker’s listing establishes |
|---|---|---|
| A general cream framed around moisture care | Abib PDRN intensive cream | The maker states 1.5% salmon DNA–derived PDRN and names ceramides, panthenol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. |
| A separately positioned booster with two numeric ingredient disclosures | Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème | The listing states 15,000 ppm PDRN and 10,000 ppm Volufiline, and names retinal and peptides. |
| c-PDRN wording | REJURAN Nutritive Cream | REJURAN calls c-PDRN “a marine growth factor.” |
| A product name combining PDRN and hyaluronic acid | Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream | “100” appears in the product name; the available cream listing record gives no separate PDRN concentration. |
| A choice between salmon-DNA and vegan rose source options | Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Cream | The product page names Salmon DNA PDRN and Rose PDRN (Vegan); the U.S. collection marks the Salmon DNA option out of stock. |
For price-first shopping, use a short check before comparing listings:
- Select the exact formula option, including salmon-DNA or vegan rose variants.
- For a purchase today, use the one-time price shown for the exact formula option and its net package volume.
- Divide price by milliliters, then multiply by 100 to get cost per 100 mL.
- Keep subscriptions and sale discounts in separate rows so the comparison uses the same purchase type.
- Then use the maker-stated PDRN source and amount as a separate formula-preference filter.
For price-first shoppers among the two listings with matched package data, choose the Medicube cream for the lower calculated cost per 100 mL; its Salmon DNA option was marked out of stock.
