Mario Badescu Advanced Peptide PDRN Jelly Cream — Lightweight Daily Moisturizer with Niacinamide

Mario Badescu Advanced Peptide PDRN Jelly Cream is a fast-absorbing, lightweight jelly moisturizer that delivers daily hydration using vegan PDRN from heartleaf plant DNA, peptides, niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate.

This refreshing jelly moisturizer is formulated to layer easily with serums, sunscreens and makeup while providing a springy, hydrated feel. Its unique Vegan PDRN ingredient is derived from heartleaf plant DNA, offering a plant-based approach that replaces traditional animal-sourced PDRN. The gel-jelly texture is glycerin-rich yet non-greasy, absorbing quickly so skin feels comfortable and refreshed both morning and night.

How does this jelly moisturizer fit into my morning routine?

Use it after cleansing and your active serums to lock in hydration without adding weight. The jelly texture spreads smoothly and sinks in fast, making it an ideal base for sunscreen and makeup.

• Apply a dime-sized amount to face, neck and décolletage.
• Layers well over niacinamide or lightweight vitamin C serums.
• Compatible with chemical or mineral sunscreens without pilling.

What key ingredients are included and what do they do?

The formula blends Vegan PDRN (heartleaf plant DNA), peptides, niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate and glycerin to support a hydrated, conditioned skin surface. Each ingredient was selected to contribute to a soft, smooth finish rather than to treat medical conditions.

• Vegan PDRN from heartleaf plant DNA — a plant-derived alternative to fish-based PDRN.
• Peptides — help support skin’s conditioned appearance and resiliency of texture.
• Niacinamide — works with other actives to promote balanced-looking skin tone and surface clarity.
• Sodium hyaluronate + glycerin — deliver hydration and a cushiony, springy feel.

Will the jelly texture work for oily or dry skin types?

The lightweight, non-greasy jelly is formulated to suit a wide range of skin types by providing hydration without heaviness. It absorbs quickly on oilier skin and still imparts comfortable moisture for normal to combination and mild dry skin.

• Oily/combination: adds hydration without a heavy finish.
• Normal: layers seamlessly with other treatments or makeup.
• Dry (mild): can be used alone or paired with a richer cream at night for extra comfort.

Who is this for: This product is for anyone seeking a modern, lightweight moisturizer that offers daily hydration with a plant-derived PDRN alternative. It’s well suited to people who prefer breathable textures that layer easily under sunscreen or makeup, those looking to incorporate peptides and niacinamide into their routine, and users who want a vegan option instead of animal-sourced PDRN.

How to use: After cleansing and applying serums, gently press or massage the jelly cream over face, neck and décolletage until absorbed. Use morning and evening as needed; color may naturally soften over time due to Vitamin B12 without affecting performance.
