🧬 Why Everyone Is Talking About Retinal and PDRN This Summer

In the ever-evolving world of skincare, two ingredients are making waves in 2025 — Retinal and PDRN. These powerhouse actives have taken over social media, skincare routines, and beauty shelves worldwide. But what exactly are they, and why is everyone obsessed?

Let’s break down the trend and show you how to bring these game-changing ingredients into your summer routine.


✨ What is Retinal and Why Is It Trending?

Retinal (Retinaldehyde) 

Is a next-generation form of Vitamin A. It’s more potent and faster-acting than retinol, yet still gentle on skin. It’s especially popular for:

  • Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles
  • Fading dark spots and pigmentation
  • Treating breakouts and uneven texture
  • Brightening under-eyes

It works up to 11x faster than retinol and is suitable even for sensitive skin when used correctly.

🔹 Try this:
SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream – Retinal + Fermented Bean
Perfect for targeting dull, tired eyes and restoring a lifted, fresh look.


💧 What is PDRN and Why Is It a Summer Must?

PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide)

is a skin-repairing ingredient originally used in regenerative medicine. Extracted from salmon DNA, it helps:

  • Regenerate skin cells
  • Strengthen skin barrier
  • Improve elasticity and bounce
  • Boost hydration and repair from sun damage

Think of it as post-sun recovery in a bottle.

🔹 Best-seller:
