Overview
['Anua labels this mist at 2,000ppm of PDRN, which stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide. PDRN is a salmon-derived ingredient widely used in Korean professional skincare for its potential to support the appearance of skin texture and comfort. Getting it in a mist format at under $19 is a practical entry point for shoppers who want to try the ingredient without committing to a serum price tag.', 'The formula is listed for all skin types, comes unscented at 3.38 fl oz, and carries no listed claim of alcohol, which generally means it sits gently on skin. The absence of other active ingredients keeps the formula focused, though it also means buyers looking for a multi-tasker may find it lean.', 'With 3,000 reviews and a 4.5-star rating, the Anua mist has one of the stronger feedback profiles in this roundup. The review count is large enough to give the rating real weight, and the average score reflects broad satisfaction rather than a small enthusiastic group.']

- Unscented formula suits fragrance-sensitive skin
- Listed as suitable for all skin types
- Competitive price of $18.80 for a PDRN-focused formula

- Monthly purchase volume is low, which may reflect a niche rather than broad mainstream adoption
Performance notes
PDRN is thought to support the appearance of skin regeneration and comfort, making it popular in post-procedure skincare in Korea. At 2,000ppm, the concentration is higher than many entry-level PDRN products. The unscented, all-skin-type formulation keeps it compatible with sensitive routines and allows layering with other serums or moisturizers.
What buyers say

Frequently asked questions
What is PDRN and why does the concentration matter?
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide, a salmon-derived ingredient used in Korean skincare for its potential to support the appearance of skin comfort and texture. Concentration matters because a higher ppm means more active ingredient per application. At 2,000ppm this mist sits above many entry-level PDRN products on the market.
Is this mist alcohol-free?
No alcohol is listed in the available specs, and the unscented designation suggests a minimal formula. For certainty, review the full ingredient list on the product detail page before purchasing, especially if you have known sensitivities.
How should this be used in a routine?
Water-based mists like this are typically used after cleansing and before heavier serums or moisturizers, or spritzed throughout the day for a hydration refresh. The lightweight format also works well over sunscreen or light makeup without disrupting the finish.
