How to Build a Medicube PDRN Routine: Serum, Cream and Mask in the Right Order

Medicube's PDRN Pink line is a full skincare routine. It is built around one ingredient: PDRN from salmon. The routine also uses collagen and peptides. It has three main steps. You use a serum each day. You use a cream each day. You use a mask once a week. Each step layers on the one before it. Here is how the routine works.

Step 1: cleanse

Any gentle cleanser works well here. In the Medicube range, the Zero Foam Cleanser is a great fit. It is a soft, low-foam gel. It cleans your skin without stripping it. This matters, because the rest of the routine adds moisture back in.

Step 2: PDRN Pink Peptide Serum

The PDRN Pink Peptide Serum is the heart of this routine. It has 10,000 ppm PDRN. It also has five peptides and hydrolysed collagen. The formula is light and pink. Cleanse your skin, then apply two to three drops while it is still damp. Do this in the morning and at night. Press the serum in gently. Do not rub it. New to PDRN?

Step 3: PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream

The Capsule Cream locks the serum in. It is rich, but it still feels comfortable on skin. It has the same PDRN and collagen base, plus niacinamide. Use it as your last step at night. In the morning, use it before sunscreen. Does your skin run oily? Try the lighter Collagen Jelly Cream during the day instead.

Weekly: PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask

Once or twice a week, skip your serum and cream. Use the PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask instead. It is a hydrogel sheet soaked in the same active ingredients. Cleanse first, then wear it for 20 to 30 minutes. It gives you the biggest dose in the whole routine. It suits a night before a big event.
