Our Pick
Rejuran
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 8)
Ranavat
Michelle Ranavat built the brand non-Indian Ayurveda fans aren't embarrassed to display on their shelf. The Radiant Rani brightening saffron serum is genuinely beautiful. Prices are Sephora-premium, not Indian-market-premium, which is the tradeoff. If you want heritage Ayurveda with luxury-tier formulation and packaging, this is it.
Pros
- ✓ Beautiful, Sephora-tier packaging
- ✓ Genuine Ayurvedic ingredient knowledge
- ✓ Saffron-forward brightening works
- ✓ Built for Western distribution
Cons
- ✗ Premium pricing
- ✗ Ayurveda purists may find it over-produced
- ✗ Limited product count
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
