Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Volumizing Balm
A multi-use balm blending PDRN, Volufiline, and 200 Dalton Collagen into one melting stick for on-the-go touch-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does PDRN do for skin?
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a K-beauty ingredient valued for supporting the appearance of skin repair, hydration, and firmness. It works differently than retinol — focused more on the look of barrier repair and calming than cell turnover — making the two complementary rather than competing.
Is PDRN better than retinol?
They serve different purposes. Retinol is an established choice for the appearance of fine lines and cell turnover, while PDRN focuses on the look of repair, hydration, and redness — many people use both in the same routine.
What areas can I use this balm on?
It's designed as a multi-use balm for under-eyes, cheeks, necklines, smile lines, and lips.
