I’m no stranger to laser facials: This type of resurfacing treatment requires a week of downtime, at minimum. Still, I always wish there was something I could do to speed up the healing process — and I accidentally stumbled upon an affordable Amazon remedy after my last treatment.

I recently got the Halo Tribrid laser, a powerful treatment that smooths texture, addresses uneven tone and minimizes fine lines, all while boosting collagen. The results make my complexion rival a pane of glass. But before you see the glow, skin turns red and sandpapery before itty-bitty scabby dots form. Overall, it takes up to two weeks for skin to feel plump and dewy again. However, the Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream had my skin looking good as new just one week after my laser treatment.

After hearing about the healing benefits of PDRN for skin, I found this dewy gel-cream in my beauty editor stash. Let me give you a quick debrief: PDRN is extracted from salmon DNA, and the potent ingredient boosts collagen, helping skin renew itself while also calming inflammation, including redness and swelling.

I may not have noticed a difference in my overall skin texture from the first use, but a dollop of the jelly-like cream definitely felt refreshing on my complexion and more hydrating than the ultra-gentle post-procedure cream my doctor gave me. Plus, it gave me that enviable glassy finish, even while my skin was still healing.

 

After just three days of using Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream morning and night, all of my little scabs had disappeared and my skin was as smooth as can be. As for the glow? Blinding. I’m now three weeks out from getting the laser facial and the Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream remains a staple in my routine.

Who knew that salmon DNA could make my skin look and feel so healthy? This formula earned itself a permanent spot in my vanity.
