Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream

This cream's Sodium DNA (PDRN) sits at 200ppm — far below the serum's roughly 1% dose. This is a moisturizer where PDRN is a supporting, trace-level ingredient, not the lead active. If PDRN concentration is your priority, the serum delivers a meaningfully higher dose than this cream.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Extract is present at just 0.1ppm — a symbolic, name-supporting amount rather than a functional dose. "Pink Collagen" reflects the product's naming and color, not a collagen-boosting claim. The cream's actual hydration and elasticity support comes from hyaluronic acid, squalane, and ceramide NP.

It's registered in Korea as a dual-function functional cosmetic for skin brightening and wrinkle improvement, based on Niacinamide and Adenosine. These two ingredients are the formally recognized actives — PDRN and collagen are marketing-forward ingredients but aren't part of the registered functional claim.

As the final step of your routine, combine the pink capsules with the clear gel on the back of your hand, then pat gently into skin. Use a higher gel ratio for a lighter feel, or a higher capsule ratio for richer moisturization and elasticity support.

No fragrance (Parfum) is declared on this ingredient list, and no specific fragrance allergens appear. The formula does include several botanical extracts (rose, iris, ivy, melon, pear), which are generally well-tolerated but worth noting for anyone with known plant-extract sensitivities.

The formula is rich and emollient (squalane, cetearyl olivate, hydrogenated lecithin), designed more for hydration and elasticity than oil control. Very oily or breakout-prone skin may find this heavier than needed — it suits normal, dry, or dehydrated skin best.

Niacinamide appears third in the ingredient list, right after Water and Glycerin — a position consistent with a meaningful, front-loaded concentration. We can't verify the exact 5% figure independently, but its early placement in the INCI supports the on-pack claim rather than contradicting it.

It suits anyone wanting a richer, brightening, wrinkle-supportive moisturizer with a customizable texture via the capsule-to-gel ratio. It's not a PDRN- or collagen-forward treatment despite the name — those are supporting trace ingredients, not the formula's main strength.
