MamaSkin rates the recorded formula for MediCube PDRN Pink Caffeine Overnight Wrapping Mask as Low risk (89/100). Review the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation before deciding.
Contains PDRN/Sodium DNA or a related DNA-derived cosmetic ingredient. Topical PDRN is not currently treated as a known pregnancy-restricted ingredient, but pregnancy-specific data is limited, so MamaSkin scores it conservatively as low risk. This applies to topical cosmetic use only and does not apply to injectable or in-clinic PDRN/polynucleotide treatments.

DNA-derived cosmetic ingredient/label term used in topical PDRN or polynucleotide-style skincare. Topical cosmetic use is not currently treated as a known pregnancy-restricted concern, but pregnancy-specific clinical data remain limited. MamaSkin scores this conservatively as low risk to reflect the evidence gap. This assessment applies to topical cosmetic products only and does not apply to injectable or in-clinic PDRN/polynucleotide treatments. Always review co-ingredients such as retinoids, hydroquinone, high-strength acids or other pregnancy-restricted actives separately.

Colour Index name for titanium dioxide. Used as a pigment and (in some products) a mineral UV filter. For typical topical use in creams, lotions and makeup, systemic absorption is expected to be very low. Most concerns discussed in the literature relate to ingestion (E171) or inhalation from fine powders/sprays, and to nanoparticle characterisation. For routine topical cosmetic use, it is generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding; if you prefer a cautious approach, avoid inhaling loose powders or sprays.

Contains PDRN/Sodium DNA or a related DNA-derived cosmetic ingredient. Topical PDRN is not currently treated as a known pregnancy-restricted ingredient, but pregnancy-specific data is limited, so MamaSkin scores it conservatively as low risk. This applies to topical cosmetic use only and does not apply to injectable or in-clinic PDRN/polynucleotide treatments. The product score is a stored assessment, not a clinical safety guarantee.
No. The recorded ingredient list includes a DNA ingredient used in a topical cosmetic. This page assesses that recorded cosmetic formula, not injections, a clinic procedure or every product sold as PDRN. Check the individual ingredient entry below for its available rating and evidence.
64 of 64 ingredient entries on this page have a recorded score, evidence summary and source text. That describes documentation coverage, not proof that the finished formula has been clinically tested during pregnancy.
Only if the ingredient list on your packaging matches the recorded formula shown here. Formulas can differ by market and change over time. Compare the full list, not just the product name; report a mismatch if it differs.
No. This page presents a pregnancy-focused product assessment. Do not infer a breastfeeding conclusion from its score or label; breastfeeding requires a separate assessment of the formula and how it is used.
