Polynucleotide (commonly confusable alias)

G_POLYNUCLEOTIDE_ALIAS
Confusion riskBack to all terms

What does this word mean?

A generic term used widely in the injectable aesthetics context that is not a cosmetic INCI registered name.

Read with care

The INCIDecoder path for polynucleotide returns a 404, confirming it is not a cosmetic INCI name.

Expanded note

The INCIDecoder path for polynucleotide returns a 404, confirming it is not a cosmetic INCI name. Also note that Salmon Egg Extract is a separate high-risk confusable item, since some products contain both PDRN and salmon egg extract. Any concentration comparison must distinguish which substance a figure actually refers to.

A real example from our data

Not a generic example.

The Heveblue Salmon Caring Centella Ampoule lists 29,400 ppm, which refers to Salmon Egg Extract rather than to PDRN.

PDRN is not approved by the FDA for injection or any therapeutic use. Topical and injectable PDRN are parallel facts under different regulatory pathways and must not be directly equated.

PN is not PDRN. Evidence grades are labelled on every factual element; in vitro and animal research is never described as clinical efficacy.
