Mario Badescu Advanced Peptide PDRN Jelly Cream – Lightweight Vegan Jelly Moisturizer, Niacinamide & Hyaluronate

Mario Badescu Advanced Peptide PDRN Jelly Cream is a lightweight, fast-absorbing jelly moisturizer that uses vegan PDRN from heartleaf plant DNA plus peptides, niacinamide, and sodium hyaluronate to deliver daily hydration and a smooth, refreshed skin feel.

This ultra-light jelly moisturizer layers easily into morning and evening routines without heaviness or residue. Formulated with plant-derived PDRN as an alternative to animal-sourced ingredients, the cream blends humectants and skin-conditioning actives so it can act as a standalone moisturizer or a hydrating booster alongside serums and sunscreen. Its naturally pink tint comes from Vitamin B12 and will not affect performance as color gently softens with time.

How does this jelly moisturizer fit into my daily skincare routine?

Use it after cleansing and serum steps for an instantly breathable layer of hydration. Because of its fast-absorbing jelly texture, it won’t interfere with sunscreen or makeup, and it can be layered or mixed with other products to customize moisture levels.

• Apply to clean skin, then press or massage until absorbed.
• Works alone as a lightweight daily moisturizer morning and night.
• Can be layered under sunscreen or makeup without pilling.
• Mix a pea-sized amount with serums for extra slip and hydration.

What key ingredients are in this formula and what do they do?

The formula combines vegan PDRN derived from heartleaf plant DNA with peptides, niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and Vitamin B12. Each ingredient supports hydrated, conditioned-feeling skin: humectants attract and hold moisture while peptides and niacinamide help support an even, smoother-looking surface.

• Vegan PDRN (heartleaf plant DNA) — a plant-based alternative to animal-derived PDRN.
• Peptides — help support skin resilience and a conditioned appearance.
• Niacinamide — supports balanced-looking skin tone and texture.
• Sodium hyaluronate + glycerin — humectants that maintain hydration and a soft, bouncy feel.

Will the jelly feel heavy, greasy, or leave residue on my skin?

No — the jelly is formulated to feel light and refreshing, absorbing quickly without greasy film. Its glycerin-rich base offers a cushioning, hydrated sensation while still being breathable, making it comfortable for both humid and drier environments.

• Light gel-jelly texture absorbs fast with minimal residue.
• Leaves a soft, non-greasy finish suitable for layering.
• Compatible with sunscreen and makeup application.
• Natural pink tint is from Vitamin B12 and does not affect performance.

How should I use the Advanced Peptide PDRN Jelly Cream for best results?

Apply after cleansing and any targeted serums while skin is slightly damp to lock in hydration. Use twice daily, and consider pairing with antioxidant serums in the morning and reparative treatments at night to build a balanced routine.

• Morning and night after serums; press onto face, neck, and décolletage.
• Layer under sunscreen in daytime routines without disrupting application.
• Blend with other creams or serums for a custom hydration boost.
• Store away from direct heat to maintain texture and color.
