What This Moisturiser Does for Your Skin
DR.ALTHEA PDRN Reju 10000 Cream centres on one standout ingredient. It contains 10,000ppm of 95% high-purity salmon PDRN. PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide, a molecule drawn from salmon DNA. The brand pairs it with Bio-NAD. sh-Oligopeptide-1, also known as EGF, joins the mix too. These ingredients support the skin's natural energy and renewal processes. Together, they form the base of a cream built for tired-looking skin. It also suits skin that looks thin or in need of firming support. Centella asiatica leaf water sits alongside the complex. Panthenol joins it too. Both help calm the look of stressed, reactive skin. This gives the richer actives room to work. The result reads as purposeful, not just hydrating. It is aimed at people who want their moisturiser to do more than sit on the surface. Skin that looks slack or lacklustre is exactly what this cream was built to support. One application at a time, it works towards a firmer, denser look.
The Texture and How It Feels
This is an ointment-style gel cream, not a heavy balm. It looks dense in the jar. It turns fluid the moment it meets warm skin. Gentle massaging helps it sink in fully. A light patting motion works well too. It leaves a smooth, non-sticky finish behind. Skin does not feel coated or greasy afterwards. That matters if you plan to layer sunscreen the next morning. Makeup sits well on top too, once the cream has settled. The gel format means a little goes a long way. It spreads easily across the face and neck. There is no dragging or pilling as you apply it. For anyone used to thick night creams, this texture seems lighter. It still delivers a firming, cushioned sensation as you press it in. It sits comfortably on skin through the evening. By morning, it settles to a soft, touchable finish. No residue transfers onto your pillow once it has absorbed. A small amount covers the whole face with ease. You can build up a second layer on drier patches. The finish stays matte rather than glossy, even under indoor lighting.
The Ingredients That Nourish Your Skin
Beyond the PDRN complex, ceramide NP plays a key role. It supports the skin's barrier. It also helps skin hold onto moisture. A trio of hyaluronic acid types works alongside it. Hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid each work at different depths. Together they help keep skin looking supple. Quercetin joins the formula as a plant-derived antioxidant. Glycyrrhetinic acid, sourced from liquorice root, rounds out the blend. Both help soothe the look of skin after use. Olive fruit oil adds softness to the blend. Macadamia seed oil and apricot kernel oil do too. Together they stop the formula feeling thin or watery. This is a rich, multi-layered formula. People who prefer very simple routines may want to patch test first. Anyone drawn to concentrated, ingredient-dense creams will find plenty to like here. This is especially true if firmness and moisture are both on the wish list. Each ingredient earns its place, rather than padding out a long list. That density is exactly what gives the cream its firming feel.
Day, Night, or Both
DR.ALTHEA positions this cream as the final step of your evening routine. It is designed to go on after serum. Smooth an even layer over your face and neck. Gently massage and pat until it fully absorbs. For areas that need extra attention, add a touch more product at night. The brand recommends this for additional firming support. Because the finish is non-sticky, some people also enjoy it by day. It works well as a daytime moisturiser under sunscreen. The brand's own guidance centres on evening use, though. Used consistently, it becomes a simple final step. It is not an extra task added onto your routine. Reach for it once the rest of your skincare is done. Keep the jar sealed between uses. Store it away from direct sunlight and heat. This helps the formula stay stable for longer, so every scoop performs as it should. A small jar goes further than it looks, since only a little is needed each time. Keep the lid on tightly to protect the texture between uses.
Who This Moisturiser Is For
This cream suits anyone who wants their moisturiser to do more than finish a routine. It is a good fit for skin showing early signs of slackness or fatigue. The gel texture makes it approachable, even for rich-cream avoiders. The concentrated PDRN, peptide, and ceramide blend gives it real substance underneath that light texture. It pairs naturally with a hydrating serum or ampoule underneath. Each product gets to do its own job within the routine. If your skin has been asking for something firmer, this is worth a look. It offers support without sitting heavy or weighed down. Evenings become a moment to give your skin steady, considered care. Press it in, let it settle, and let the formula do the rest while you rest. If you have been searching for a denser, more supportive step in your routine, start here. Your skin gets a considered, ingredient-led step to close out the day. Slot it into your existing shelf and let it earn its place over time.
