PDRN + GRAPE EXOSOMES? CAN PDRN BE USED WITH OTHER SKINCARE ACTIVES?
Share
Understanding PDRN, Grape Exosomes, Peptides, Niacinamide and Other Ingredients Within a Complete Skincare Formula.
PDRN can be found alongside a wide range of ingredients in modern skincare formulations. This raises an important formulation question: which skincare ingredients can be formulated alongside PDRN?
From grape exosomes and copper peptides to niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, collagen and ceramides, PDRN can form part of a much broader formulation.
At Nēaē Skin, we think the more interesting conversation is not simply whether a formula contains PDRN.
It is what surrounds the PDRN — and how the complete formula has been designed.
This article is for general skincare education only. Ingredient research should not be interpreted as medical advice or as evidence of the performance of a specific finished cosmetic product.
What Is PDRN in Skincare?
PDRN, or polydeoxyribonucleotide, refers to DNA-derived fragments that have been studied in scientific, medical and aesthetic contexts and are also used in topical cosmetic formulations.
Research continues to develop, but findings relating to a particular PDRN material, concentration or formulation should not automatically be applied to every cosmetic containing PDRN.
That distinction matters.
A skincare formula is more than one highlighted ingredient.
Can PDRN Be Used With Grape Exosomes?
PDRN and grape-exosome ingredients can be incorporated within the same finished cosmetic formulation.
Grape-derived extracellular-vesicle or exosome ingredients are an emerging area of cosmetic science and should not be confused with human-derived exosomes or medical treatments.
Nēaē Formula Example: Salmon DNA Drip 30%
Nēaē Skin's Salmon DNA Drip 30% Active Formula • Grape Exosomes combines PDRN + Grape Exosomes alongside Copper Peptides, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica, Madecassoside, Ceramide NP, Bakuchiol and Astaxanthin.
This does not establish that grape exosomes make PDRN more effective. It demonstrates how the two ingredients can form part of the same broader cosmetic formulation.

Can PDRN Be Used With Copper Peptides and Bakuchiol?
PDRN can also appear within a finished formulation containing copper peptides and bakuchiol.
Nēaē Formula Example: Collagen Drip 35%
Collagen Drip 35% combines:
PDRN + Soluble Collagen + Bakuchiol + Copper Peptides + Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 + Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Acid + Ceramide NP.
Rather than focusing on PDRN alone, the formula places it within a broader collagen, peptide and barrier-focused ingredient system.

Can PDRN Be Used With Centella Asiatica?
PDRN can also be formulated alongside Centella Asiatica and other cosmetic ingredients.
Nēaē Formula Example: CentellaBIO™
CentellaBIO™ combines PDRN + Centella Asiatica + Grape Exosomes + EGF + Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 alongside Niacinamide, Madecassoside, Sodium Hyaluronate and a ceramide-and-lipid complex.
This creates a different formulation architecture from Salmon DNA Drip, despite both formulas containing PDRN and grape-exosome ingredients.

Three Formulas. Three Different Ways to Formulate Around PDRN.
Across Nēaē Skin, PDRN does not appear within one repeated ingredient architecture.
Salmon DNA Drip 30%
PDRN + Grape Exosomes + Copper Peptides + Astaxanthin
Collagen Drip 35%
PDRN + Collagen + Bakuchiol + Copper Peptides
CentellaBIO™
PDRN + Centella + Grape Exosomes + EGF + Peptide
Each formula has its own composition.
What connects them is a broader Nēaē Skin formulation principle:

Recognition for the Finished Formula
Salmon DNA Drip 30% Active Formula • Grape Exosomes was named:
Gold Winner — Product Excellence, Best Face Serum — Arte of Beauty Awards 2026
and was also:
Nominated for Best Serum — STHLM Beauty Week Awards 2026
This recognition relates to the finished product and should not be interpreted as scientific or clinical proof of the superiority of PDRN, grape exosomes or any particular ingredient combination.
Is a Multi-Active PDRN Formula the Same as Layering Multiple Products?
Not necessarily.
Ingredients formulated together within one finished cosmetic product are not automatically equivalent to layering several independent products.
Separate formulas can differ in concentration, pH, stability, delivery systems and directions for use.
The fact that ingredients coexist within one finished formula should not be treated as a universal recommendation to layer separate products containing those ingredients.
