Our Pick
Rejuran
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 7)
Holika Holika
Holika Holika bridges the gap between fun and functional. Their sheet masks are some of the best value in K-beauty, and products like the Pig Nose Clear Black Head kit show they can innovate in pore care. The packaging is polarizing — some love the playfulness, others find it juvenile. Underneath it all, the formulations are surprisingly solid.
Pros
- ✓ Excellent sheet mask variety
- ✓ Fun, gift-worthy packaging
- ✓ Very affordable
- ✓ Good pore care products
Cons
- ✗ Playful packaging may not appeal to everyone
- ✗ Inconsistent quality across ranges
- ✗ Some products are more gimmick than substance
Rejuran
Rejuran is the consumer-skincare arm of Pharma Research Products, the Korean biopharma company that developed the original Rejuran Healer injectable — the same PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) dermal treatment that's been a staple of Korean aesthetic clinics since 2014. The topical line translates that clinical DNA into daily-use products, anchored by the patented c-PDRN® complex at 0.5% concentration plus proprietary DOT® (Dermal Optimizing Technology) delivery. The Turnover Ampoule is the hero: a lightweight serum that targets fine lines, firmness, and texture with the same salmon-DNA active that made the injectable famous. Rejuran launched at Sephora US in 2024, won the 2025 Olive Young Slow Aging award, and has become the face of the PDRN trend that's dominating K-beauty in 2025–2026. The price point is premium-mid ($45–55), justified by the clinical pedigree and patented delivery system. Worth reaching for if you want the PDRN trend from the company that actually invented it.
Pros
- ✓ invented the PDRN category — the original, not a copycat
