medicube PDRN Jelly to Foam Cleanser 200ml

medicube PDRN Jelly to Foam Cleanser is a gel-to-foam cleanser formulated for all skin types with a low-pH (mild) formula designed to minimize irritation. The unique texture transforms from a jelly-like gel into a lightweight foam, positioning it as both a gentle daily cleanser and light exfoliant.

Key actives include:

• 99% Purity PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) — a marine-derived ingredient claimed to support radiance and skin renewal
• Collagen — for skin firmness and hydration
• LHA (Lipo Hydroxy Acid) — a gentle chemical exfoliant that removes dead skin cells
• Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin & Panthenol — barrier-strengthening humectants

Best for: Those seeking a non-stripping, hydrating cleanser with mild exfoliation and barrier support—particularly suited to normal, combination, or sensitive skin. The formula is fragrance-free and dermatologically tested (Cutis Biomedical Research Center), though results vary by individual skin type.

Trade-off: While the ingredient deck is well-rounded for hydration and barrier care, PDRN is not a mainstream or derm-benchmark ingredient; the product sits in the premium K-beauty range ($16–20) rather than budget drugstore, and lacks the clinical weight of derm-staple actives like niacinamide alone.
