Works for
Anti-agingNiacinamide, Adenosine + 1 moreWorks well
“Salmon PDRN PDRN ingredient extracted from salmon increases hyaluronic acid and collagen production, helping with more effective moisture, skin barrier and skin elasticity.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine, niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Glycerin + 9 moreWorks well
“Salmon PDRN PDRN ingredient extracted from salmon increases hyaluronic acid and collagen production, helping with more effective moisture, skin barrier and skin elasticity.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
Anti-blemishNiacinamide, AllantoinWorks well
“DESCRIPTION Medicube PDRN Vita Coating Mask is a dual sheet mask infused with pink PDRN and pink vitamin to visibly improve blemished skin while delivering a glowing plumping effect.”

Evens skin toneNot advertised by the brand · Niacinamide, Ascorbic acidWorks well

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

Product summary
"Medicube - PDRN Vita Coating Mask" is effective for: Anti-aging, Moisturizing, Anti-blemish and Evens skin tone
Ingredient callouts
- A good concentration of Niacinamide (2.70% - 4.10%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.05% - 0.20%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Adenosine 0.35% - 0.85%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
- In addition, this product contains Allantoin (0.90% - 1.35%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
- Humectants (soluble collagen 0.05% - 0.15%, sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.35%, glyceryl glucoside 0.10% - 0.40%, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.15% - 0.50%, polyglycerin-3 1.70% - 2.60% and glycerin 3.50% - 5.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
