Korean pharmacy skincare brand Dr.Reju-All is now available at Boots, bringing its PDRN-focused range to the UK market with prices starting at £12.90.
The entry point is the Dr.Reju-All Advanced PDRN Rejuvenating Lip Serum at £12.90. At the top end sits the 60ml supersized version of the brand's best-seller, the Dr.Reju-All Advanced PDRN Rejuvenating Cream Max, at £69.90. The hero product, the Dr.Reju-All PDRN Rejuvenating Cream, costs £25.90.
Dr.Reju-All is based in Seoul and founded by pharmacists. That scientific expertise shapes the brand and distinguishes it from many other K-beauty labels, according to the brand's positioning. Rather than chasing ingredient trends or textures designed for social media, the company focuses on the science behind an ingredient: how it behaves, how it delivers best into skin, and at what concentration it performs.
Many brands promote high percentages of actives, implying that bigger equals better. Dr.Reju-All takes the opposite view. The brand argues that effective skincare depends on expertly crafted formulations with careful ingredient sourcing and stabilisation.
The brand's research covered PDRN in depth. PDRN is a skincare ingredient made from DNA fragments derived from salmon sperm, and it has risen sharply in popularity over the past year, largely due to its origins in South Korea's dermatology clinics. PDRN was first used in medical settings to aid wound healing. It then moved into aesthetic treatments to support skin regeneration and speed up healing time. In topical skincare, it supports the skin barrier, makes skin look smoother and firmer, boosts hydration and luminosity, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dr.Reju-All's central finding concerns concentration. After researching how PDRN should be formulated and the precise level needed for maximum skin-renewal and soothing capability, the brand determined that 1,200 ppm of salmon-derived PDRN delivered the strongest skin-rejuvenating results.
PDRN presents another challenge: its large molecular size. In clinical procedures, it has to be injected or used alongside layers to penetrate the skin. Dr.Reju-All applied an advanced extraction and processing technique to create a low molecular weight PDRN that is 99 per cent pure and smaller than 1/3,000 of a pore's diameter, allowing the ingredient to sink into the skin.
The best-seller, the Dr.Reju-All PDRN Rejuvenating Cream at £25.90, is a lightweight gel-cream that absorbs instantly. The brand says it suits all skin types, particularly oily skin that dislikes heavy textures. It works for both day and night use, and leaves skin looking plumper, firmer and more even, with fine lines visibly softened.
The formula pairs its 99 per cent pure salmon-DNA-derived PDRN with niacinamide for tone and barrier support, panthenol to soothe, collagen for plumping and firming, and hyaluronic acid for hydration. With regular use, skin looks and feels more hydrated and comfortable, according to the brand.
Dr.Reju-All's Boots launch signals the arrival of the K-pharmacy category in the UK — a model comparable to French pharmacy brands, built on dermatologist- and pharmacist-developed skincare sold through trusted retail — and positions the salmon-DNA ingredient for a wider high-street audience.
