PDRN Algae Shot 7-in-1 Plump Serum 25 ml

PDRN Algae Shot 7-in-1 Plump Serum by Mádara is a concentrated hydration booster that instantly makes tired, moisture-depleted skin look plumper, smoother, and fresher. Its innovative 7X active ingredient system combines vegan phyto-PDRN from algae, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and Nordic organic birch sap with betaine, panthenol, and a firming hydroxyproline derivative. Skin gets an intense surge of hydration, fine dry lines appear softened, and the complexion looks fresher and more supple.

• 7-in-1 face serum for intense hydration and an instantly plumper-looking complexion
• Vegan phyto-PDRN from algae as an innovative alternative to animal-derived PDRN
• Peptides and a hydroxyproline derivative help promote smoother, firmer-looking skin
• Two forms of hyaluronic acid help lock in moisture and visibly soften the appearance of dry lines
• Organic birch sap and betaine nourish moisture-depleted skin and leave it feeling supple
• Panthenol supports the skin barrier and soothes stressed skin
• For all skin types, especially skin lacking moisture, a dull complexion, and reduced firmness
• COSMOS NATURAL certified, vegan, and cruelty-free

Algae Shot’s particular strength lies in combining modern active ingredient technology with proven moisturizers. Phyto-PDRN from algae and a peptide complex form the heart of the serum. Organic birch sap, betaine, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid hydrate the skin, while panthenol and nourishing lipids support its natural barrier. The result is plumper, smoother, pleasantly supple-looking skin, without replacing the need for a rich moisturizing cream.

The serum is especially suitable when skin loses its freshness after too little sleep, stress, or exposure to dry indoor air. It can be easily incorporated into your daily skincare routine and also used as a quick hydration boost before makeup. In an instrumental study with ten test subjects, skin hydration was measured to be 40% higher after application.

Unlike the Exosome Longevity Radiance Peptide Serum, which combines plant-based exosomes and postbiotics for more resilient, radiant-looking skin, Algae Shot focuses primarily on a quick hydrating and plumping effect with algae-based PDRN.

Key ingredients

• Phyto-PDRN from Algae (Sodium DNA & Chlorella Vulgaris Extract): PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotides, or DNA fragments, which are being studied in modern skincare for their potential to support skin renewal. Mádara uses a vegan, algae-based alternative to PDRN, which is often derived from fish. Depending on how it is obtained, the complementary chlorella extract contains antioxidant and moisture-binding plant constituents. In the formula, this innovative active complex is part of the 7X system for a fresher, smoother-looking complexion.
• Peptide Complex & Hydroxyproline Derivative (Hexapeptide-11 & Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline): Hexapeptide-11 is one of the cosmetic peptides used to care for skin that has lost firmness. Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline is a fat-soluble compound based on the amino acid hydroxyproline, a natural component of collagen. It supports skin suppleness and is used to promote a smoother, firmer-looking appearance. Together, the two active ingredients complement the serum’s plumping hydration effect.
• Nordic Organic Birch Sap & Betaine (Betula Alba Juice & Betaine): Birch sap is an important ingredient in the formula and is listed second on the INCI. It contains natural sugars, minerals and other water-soluble plant constituents that help support moisturizing care. Betaine acts as an osmolyte and helps the skin maintain its moisture balance, even in dry air. Together with glycerin, both leave skin feeling soft and smooth and reduce unpleasant feelings of tightness.
• Dual Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate & Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid): The combination of hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid supports hydration in different ways. Larger molecules form a water-binding film on the skin’s surface, while smaller fragments can help retain moisture within the outermost layer of the skin. This leaves skin looking smoother and plumper, with fine dehydration lines appearing less pronounced. Skin that is particularly lacking in moisture or looks tired benefits from this effect.
• Panthenol (Provitamin B5): Panthenol is a proven ingredient for sensitive, dry and stressed skin. It binds moisture in the outer layer of the skin, supports the natural barrier function and helps reduce transepidermal water loss. At the same time, it soothes the skin and can ease feelings of tightness and mild irritation. In Algae Shot, panthenol complements the intensive moisturizing care and leaves skin feeling comfortable and smooth.
• Organic Jojoba Oil & Squalane (Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil & Squalane): Jojoba oil is a liquid plant wax whose wax esters resemble the skin's natural lipids. It supports the skin's protective lipid barrier, smooths rough patches and helps retain moisture. Squalane complements this effect with lightweight, exceptionally smooth care that spreads comfortably over the skin. Together, these two lipids help keep skin soft and nourished without feeling heavy or overly greasy.

How to use

• Apply morning and evening to cleansed facial skin.
• Apply a small amount evenly to the face and, if desired, the neck, and massage in gently.
• Then apply a suitable moisturizer to complete your skincare routine.
• For a fresh, plumper-looking complexion, the serum can also be applied before makeup.

FAQ

What is PDRN, and what does it do in skincare?

PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotides. These are DNA fragments whose cosmetic potential is being studied, particularly in connection with skin renewal and aging. Algae Shot contains a vegan version derived from algae. In the finished serum, PDRN is combined with peptides, hyaluronic acid and other moisturizers to help the skin look smoother, plumper and fresher.

Is the PDRN in this serum vegan?

Yes. While conventional PDRN is often derived from fish, Mádara uses algae-based phyto-PDRN. The entire serum is vegan.

Which skin type is the PDRN Algae Shot Serum suitable for?

The serum is suitable for all skin types, especially dry, dehydrated, normal and mature skin, as well as combination skin that lacks moisture. It is a good addition when the complexion looks tired or dull, fine dehydration lines become visible or the skin loses firmness.

How quickly does the serum show results?

The moisturizing ingredients can make the skin look smoother and plumper after just the first application. The combination of birch sap, betaine, hyaluronic acid and nourishing lipids leaves skin feeling instantly softer. Regular use is recommended for long-term care.

Can I combine the serum with other active ingredients?

Yes. The serum can generally be combined well with vitamin C, niacinamide, retinol or other skincare actives. As a hydrating step in between, it can be particularly pleasant if your skin tends to become dry due to a more intensive active ingredient routine. If you have sensitive skin, it is recommended to introduce new products gradually.

Is Algae Shot fragrance-free?

No. The formula contains aroma as well as fragrance components that must be declared, including limonene and linalool. If you have a known fragrance sensitivity, check the ingredient list before use.
