\n\tIt\u2019s only fitting that 10 years after K-beauty<\/a> introduced the seven-step skin care routine to the Western beauty lexicon, the category is yet again responsible for beauty\u2019s newest mass fixation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPolydeoxyribonucleotide, or PDRN, a salmon sperm DNA extract known for its regenerative properties, has emerged as skin care\u2019s latest \u201cIt\u201d ingredient, making its way into everything from medical-grade treatments to topical serums and beyond.<\/p>\n

\n\tSaid to stimulate collagen and give skin a youthful boost, PDRN is something of a \u201cturbo-charge repair kit\u201d for skin cells, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Diane Alexander <\/a>previously told WWD. The ingredient\u2019s host of benefits also include anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and wound-healing properties.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile PDRN is traditionally extracted from salmon sperm, a slew of plant-based alternatives are more recently cropping up, extracting similarly skin-boosting DNA fragments from rice, rose and other vegan-friendly \u2014 and wallet-friendlier \u2014 sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSo popular has the ingredient become that, should you wish, each step of your beauty regimen can be a PDRN step, including your\u2026<\/p>\n
