Ingredients
Three named actives, what each one is, and what it is doing there.
A cosmetic, not a treatment. This page explains what the named ingredients are and why they are used in skincare. It does not claim a result.
PDRN
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide — a chain of DNA fragments, most often derived from salmon. It appears on ingredient lists as a conditioning and moisturising agent.
Claims about it online range from the modest to the extraordinary. Its use in cosmetics is as a skin-conditioning ingredient; anything framed as repair or regeneration crosses into a medical claim no balm is entitled to make.
Pink collagen
Collagen is the structural protein your skin already makes. In a cosmetic, collagen and its hydrolysed forms work at the surface as humectants and film-formers, holding water against the skin.
What topical collagen does not do is become the collagen in your dermis — the molecule is far too large to cross the skin barrier. That is worth knowing rather than glossing over.
To confirm
What “pink” refers to — a marine or hydrolysed collagen, a colourant, or the shade of the balm. The INCI name on the packaging will say.
Volufiline™
Volufiline™ is a trademarked cosmetic active from Sederma, built around an extract of Anemarrhena asphodeloides in a sunflower-oil base. It is sold to formulators as a volumising ingredient and typically used at low percentages.
Verify before publishing
The product page states 5% Volufiline™ — the only ingredient concentration claimed anywhere on this site, and so the one number most worth checking against the manufacturer’s INCI list or certificate of analysis. If it cannot be confirmed, the percentage should come off and the ingredient simply be named.
The full list
Needed
The complete INCI list, copied exactly from the packaging. The single most useful thing that could be added here: anyone with an allergy, a sensitivity or a pregnancy checks the full list rather than the three headline actives.
Your skin
Formulated to suit all skin types, but nobody can tell you in advance how your skin will respond. Patch test first. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, a known allergy, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take the ingredient list to a clinician.
