What justifies a price difference between PDRN creams?
- Abib PDRN intensive cream states 1.5% salmon DNA-derived PDRN, making its amount unusually easy to compare by label.
- Abib’s PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème 2.5 tube is a 30 mL product; its maker lists PDRN at 15,000 ppm and Volufiline at 10,000 ppm.
- Rejuran, Anua, and Medicube describe different PDRN sources or formula features, while their maker pages present varying price and package details.
- A disclosed PDRN amount is a label detail, not a performance ranking.
To compare the five creams fairly, separate the package price from the source and amount the maker states, then compare cost per milliliter only when the package volume and price refer to the same item. For shoppers who want a quantified PDRN statement, Abib offers two strong label-based candidates: its intensive cream states 1.5% salmon DNA-derived PDRN, and its Volume fill-it Booster crème lists 15,000 ppm PDRN plus 10,000 ppm Volufiline.
Compare the displayed prices before comparing value
Price per milliliter is meaningful when the listed price and package size refer to the same product and option. The official U.S. listing captures below are dated October 2, 2026, and keep subscription rates separate from one-time prices.
| Cream | Official U.S. price display captured October 2, 2026 | Package size established for this product | Purchase or availability details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abib PDRN intensive cream 1.5 tube | Price not established in the captured product-page details | Package volume not established in the captured details | The page describes a cream with 1.5% salmon DNA-derived PDRN. |
| Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème | $23.80 displayed; the page also shows $28.00 crossed out. Abib’s U.S. homepage card shows $23.80 against $28.00. | 30 mL | The captured product page displays “Sold out.” |
| Rejuran Nutritive Cream | $43.20 one-time purchase; $54.00 regular price; $38.02 Subscribe & Save price | Package volume not established in the captured details | The page lists one-time and recurring options. |
| Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream | $31.00 sale price | Package volume not established in the captured details | The page displays an Add to cart option. |
| Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Cream | $26 sale price; $27 regular price | 50 mL for the Salmon DNA PDRN Cream entry on Medicube’s separate Full Set page | The collection marks the Salmon DNA PDRN option out of stock. |
Cost per milliliter is the package price divided by package volume. For example, the Booster crème's $23.80 price divided by its 30 mL tube equals about $0.79 per mL. At its $28.00 crossed-out price, the same tube equals about $0.93 per mL.
What each cream says about PDRN
The useful distinction for an ingredient-label reader is between naming a source and stating a concentration. A page can describe PDRN as salmon-derived, identify it with a branded term, or give a number in percent or parts per million (ppm). For ingredient-label readers, source wording and concentration answer separate questions: the source phrase names the ingredient origin, while a percentage or ppm figure states an amount.
| Cream | Maker-stated PDRN source or name | Numeric PDRN amount stated in the captured product information |
|---|---|---|
| Abib PDRN intensive cream 1.5 tube | Salmon DNA-derived PDRN | 1.5%; the page's highlights also state 15,000 ppm |
| Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème | Salmon DNA PDRN | 15,000 ppm; it also lists Volufiline at 10,000 ppm |
| Rejuran Nutritive Cream | c-PDRN® | The maker names c-PDRN®; its product description frames this as a named ingredient rather than a numeric concentration |
| Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream | PDRN derived from salmon DNA | The cream description identifies salmon DNA and gives no numeric PDRN amount for this moisturizer |
| Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Cream | Salmon DNA PDRN | The captured cream description names Salmon DNA PDRN and hyaluronic acid |
Abib PDRN intensive cream: a clear percentage and source
Abib's PDRN intensive cream 1.5 tube states that the cream contains 1.5% salmon DNA-derived PDRN. Its highlights also display “Salmon DNA PDRN 15,000ppm.” Since 1.5% and 15,000 ppm are equivalent on the same concentration basis, the two figures make the same concentration legible in two familiar formats.
The same page lists ceramides, panthenol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid alongside the cream's PDRN description. Those ingredients give the shopper a fuller picture of the formula than a PDRN number alone. Choose this Abib cream when a stated salmon-derived source and numeric PDRN amount are central to the label decision; judge its price separately from that disclosure.
Abib Volume fill-it Booster crème: two quantified ingredients
Abib's PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème listing identifies PDRN as salmon DNA and gives the amount as 15,000 ppm. It also states 10,000 ppm Volufiline, creating a second quantified ingredient point for shoppers comparing formula disclosures.
The maker describes the crème as an option for the look of hollow areas, firmness, and elasticity. The 30 mL tube makes this the most straightforward price-per-volume example in the captured Abib listings. Pick it when you want both a PDRN amount and a stated Volufiline amount in a smaller, targeted-format cream; its ingredient numbers do not establish that it works better than another product.
Rejuran Nutritive Cream: a named c-PDRN ingredient
Rejuran's Nutritive Cream listing names c-PDRN® and describes it as a marine growth factor. The Nutritive Cream product page shows $43.20 for a one-time purchase, $54.00 as the regular price, and $38.02 for Subscribe & Save.
The Nutritive Cream description names c-PDRN® as a marine growth factor and gives no percentage or ppm amount beside that description. It fits shoppers who value that specific ingredient naming and a moisturizing cream format.
Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream: source named, number belongs elsewhere
Anua's PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream page describes its PDRN as derived from salmon DNA and displays a $31.00 sale price. Its description emphasizes a lightweight, non-sticky finish and use under makeup, details that may matter to shoppers choosing a daily moisturizer.
Anua states 100 ppm for the Glow Pad in its separate Duo; the cream page identifies salmon DNA-derived PDRN without assigning that amount to the moisturizer. Anua's separate PDRN Deep Hydrating Prep & Boost Duo page assigns 100 ppm PDRN to the PDRN 100 Hyaluronic Acid Glow Pad, which is a different item in that duo. The cream's name and the pad's stated amount therefore belong to separate product descriptions.
Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Cream: source labels across the range
Medicube's PDRN Pink Peptide Cream page identifies Salmon DNA PDRN and hyaluronic acid and displays $26 against $27 regular, with the captured U.S. page marked sold out. The page gives shoppers named formula ingredients to compare, while its product description does not provide a numeric PDRN concentration.
Medicube’s PDRN Pink Peptide Cream page lists Salmon DNA PDRN and Rose PDRN (Vegan) as ingredient options. Medicube’s separate PDRN Pink Glow Full Set page lists Rose PDRN Cream as a 50 mL product. The same page lists Salmon DNA PDRN Cream separately at 50 mL.
What a concentration number can and cannot tell you
The U.S. cosmetic ingredient rule in 21 CFR 701.3 says package ingredient declarations list ingredient names in descending order of predominance, subject to the rule's provisions. A numbered statement such as 1.5% or 15,000 ppm is a separate, more direct piece of formula information for a shopper comparing PDRN amounts.
For ingredient-label readers, source and concentration are separate filters: source wording names the maker’s PDRN origin, while a percentage or ppm figure states the amount.
Visible price differences can reflect different pack sizes, promotions, and added formula ingredients. These details help explain why the product pages are not identical offers.
Which listing fits your label priorities?
| Your priority | Best-fit listing | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| A clearly stated PDRN source and amount | Abib PDRN intensive cream 1.5 tube | Abib states 1.5% salmon DNA-derived PDRN and also gives 15,000 ppm. |
| Two quantified formula ingredients | Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Booster crème | Its product page lists 15,000 ppm PDRN and 10,000 ppm Volufiline in a 30 mL tube. |
| A named c-PDRN ingredient in a moisturizing cream | Rejuran Nutritive Cream | The product page uses c-PDRN® and emphasizes moisture, firmness, and elasticity. |
| Salmon-derived PDRN with a light-finish description | Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream | Its page identifies salmon DNA as the source and describes a lightweight, non-sticky finish. |
| Two source choices on a product-page selector | Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Cream | Its page lists Salmon DNA PDRN and Rose PDRN (Vegan) options; Medicube’s collection marks the Salmon DNA option out of stock. |
For a shopper who ranks numeric disclosure first, Abib's intensive cream and Volume fill-it Booster crème are the clearest fits in this group. For shoppers who prioritize source wording, cream texture, or a particular branded ingredient, Anua, Medicube, and Rejuran each provide different maker-described details.
Frequently asked questions
Does Anua's “100” cream name mean the cream contains 100 ppm PDRN?
No. Anua's cream page identifies PDRN derived from salmon DNA, while its separate duo page assigns 100 ppm to the Glow Pad, not the cream.
Are 1.5% and 15,000 ppm the same amount?
Yes, when both numbers use the same concentration basis. Abib's intensive cream page uses both figures for salmon DNA-derived PDRN, so the two expressions communicate the same stated concentration.
Does the highest displayed PDRN amount make a cream the best value?
No. No. Compare package cost per milliliter alongside package size, source and amount wording, and the formula features that matter in your routine.
Which cream should I choose if I want to compare the exact cost per milliliter?
Abib’s Booster crème listing is the clearest example here because its page pairs a displayed price with a 30 mL package size.
