The quality of a cleanser is demonstrated most clearly in what it does not do: it should not leave the skin tight, stripped, or unbalanced after use. Medicube's PDRN Hydrating Gel Cleanser achieves this standard through a combination of amino-acid-based surfactants, barrier-supporting actives, and the addition of PDRN and LHA — ingredients rarely found in cleansers — that leave the skin measurably better than before the cleanse. The cleanser begins as a transparent gel and transforms into a light, creamy foam on contact with water — a texture that thoroughly cleanses without the aggressive scrubbing motion that stripping cleansers require. The surfactant system uses Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, and Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate — all gentle, amino-acid-derived cleansers that remove impurities without disrupting the skin's lipid barrier. The LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, or 4th-generation BHA) is a gentler derivative of salicylic acid that exfoliates at the surface and within the pore lining with minimal irritation — providing the clarity and pore-refining benefit of BHA at a level suitable for daily use. PDRN (Sodium DNA, 99% purity) supports barrier recovery during the cleansing process; Ceramide NP (five types) physically replenishes barrier lipids removed by water contact; Hyaluronic Acid seals in moisture immediately post-rinse. Niacinamide brightens; Panthenol soothes; Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) supports skin energy metabolism. The formula is fragrance-free, sulfate-free, and paraben-free.

What's Special About Medicube PDRN Hydrating Gel Cleanser

• LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, 4th-Generation BHA): A gentler, deeper-penetrating BHA derivative that exfoliates within the pore lining during cleansing — refining pores and improving clarity without the post-cleanse dryness associated with standard salicylic acid formulas.
• PDRN (Sodium DNA, 99% Purity): Active barrier support delivered during cleansing — supports skin recovery at the moment the barrier is most temporarily disrupted, immediately post-water contact.
• Five-Type Ceramide Complex: Physically replenishes the structural lipids lost during cleansing — turning a routine wash into a simultaneous barrier-maintenance step.
• Amino-Acid Surfactant System: Gentle, biodegradable cleansers derived from coconut and amino acids that remove daily impurities without disrupting the skin's acid mantle or stripping protective lipids.
• Gel-to-Foam Transformation: Starts as a satisfying gel, lathers into a light, cushion foam — thoroughly cleansing without requiring aggressive rubbing, suitable for even the most sensitised skin types.
