Dongkook Pharmaceutical's derma-repair brand Madeca Pharmacia has released "TECA Plus Formula Facial Repair Cream Light," a lighter version of its Facial Repair Cream that adds polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) to existing actives such as Centella asiatica extract, dexpanthenol and adenosine. The company says the new texture suits oily but dehydrated skin and hot, humid conditions. It cites internal testing showing over 15% higher skin hydration after one use, lasting up to 48 hours, though it did not disclose sample size, testing agency or control details. The article notes experts distinguish topical PDRN cosmetics from injectable medical use due to limited skin penetration. Madeca Pharmacia sells through roughly 6,000 pharmacies and recently entered a department store's clean-beauty shop.
“PDRN faces natural physiological limitations in penetrating the epidermal barrier”
Our view
Product launches like this point to growing mainstream demand for PDRN in everyday skincare, beyond clinical settings. As pharmacy and department-store channels widen distribution of PDRN-based formulas, it signals broader consumer familiarity with the ingredient, a trend that benefits formulators and brands building products around PDRN.
