Our Pick
Rejuran
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 7)
Innisfree
Innisfree rode the 'natural' beauty wave to massive commercial success, but the formulations are sometimes better at marketing than at skincare. The Green Tea Seed line is competent, and the volcanic clay masks are genuinely good. Overall, a solid mid-range brand that occasionally overcharges for the Jeju Island story.
Pros
- ✓ Green Tea Seed line is a reliable antioxidant range
- ✓ Volcanic clay products are genuinely effective
- ✓ Pleasant textures and scents
- ✓ Wide product range for every step
Cons
- ✗ 'Natural' marketing sometimes outpaces the science
- ✗ Mid-range pricing for sometimes basic formulations
- ✗ Heavy fragrance in many products
- ✗ Eco-credentials have been questioned
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.
