The PDRN Pink Collagen Exosome Shot 7500 is a pink spicule serum. Medicube makes it for skin that looks dull, uneven in tone or less firm. Medicube sells two strengths and recommends the 2000 for beginners and the 7500 for experienced users.

Key ingredients

• Sodium DNA (PDRN): Medicube describes it as DNA taken from salmon.
• Collagen extract: ultra-low-molecular collagen, in Medicube’s words.
• Lacto exosome and milk exosome: the ingredient list names the lacto exosome as lactobacillus extracellular vesicles.
• Hydrolysed sponge (spicules): needle-shaped particles that Medicube says shed with dead skin over several days.
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3), vitamin B12, panthenol and three peptides, plus eight forms of hyaluronic acid.

How to use

• Use in the evening after cleansing, once every 3 days, as the packaging directs.
• Apply it over the face as the first step, avoiding the eyes and lips.
• Press it in gently until absorbed and leave it on.
• Follow with a moisturiser. Medicube suggests its PDRN serum and cream, or any water-based one.

Good to know

• 30ml pump bottle.
• Medicube says tingling, redness, itching or warmth may follow and can last for some time.
• Patch-test first if your skin is sensitive, and stop if irritation develops.
• Retinol appears in the ingredient list.
• Medicube says the pink comes from the ingredients, with no artificial colouring, and may vary or fade without affecting quality.
• If spicule products are new to you, Medicube advises against using this with its AGE-R devices.
