The Rejuran Nutritive Cream is an all-season moisturizer with skin-revitalizing potential and a slew of ingredients that, in my experience, I consider to be foolproof and effective. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s a Korean formulation, which, from my extensive history of skin care snobbery, are most worth your coin.

Dermatologists that we’ve previously spoken to have even recommended brand, noting that Rejuran pioneered the use of PDRN in skin care.

PDRN, if you’re unfamiliar, is derived from salmon DNA and has been shown to accelerate repair of damaged skin and promote new tissue growth, according to dermatologists in earlier coverage. It also boosts hydration in the skin, promotes cellular turnover and reduces hyperpigmentation.

The Nutritive Cream, which I apply at night as the last step in my skin care routine, contains the brand’s signature c-PDRN, which is enriched with highly purified salmon serum and salmon sperm extracts, ingredient types that are the ideal molecular size for the best and deepest absorption possible, based on brand claims.

Though I’m no cosmetic chemist, I imagine this concentration of the cream’s active ingredient is what gives this face cream the ability to deeply hydrate without any heaviness or greasy finish. Instead, I wake up with a refreshed, dewy complexion that looks more plump overall.
