ARENCIA Pore Melt Phyto PDRN Cleansing Balm
ARENCIA's Pore Melt Phyto PDRN Cleansing Balm sells at Olive Young Korea for 21,000 KRW list / 17,010 KRW sale (90ml + 15g bonus), checked 2026-09-03. Despite the "PDRN" marketing name, the legal disclosure names the DNA-derived ingredient as "Sodium DNA" — not PDRN or even Hydrolyzed DNA — the same kind of marketing-vs- disclosure gap seen on this site's Rejuran cleansing balm. Its declared ingredient list matches Olive Young Global's export listing exactly, including the "Sodium DNA" naming. (Checked: 2026-09-04)

Is it OK for sensitive skin?
Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: no fragrance listed; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.
How much of the key actives does it contain?
Sodium DNA (PDRN): rank 28 of 44, brand-disclosed 4ppm; Panthenol: rank 34 of 44.
Can I buy it outside Korea?
International shipping: Olive Young Global; Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea.
Is the Korean version different from the export version?
No known difference — Olive Young Global's declared ingredient list (prdtNo GA260136633) matches the Korea disclosure exactly, including the "Sodium DNA" naming, compared 2026-09-03.
Does this contain PDRN?
No — despite "PDRN" in the product's marketing name, the legal ingredient disclosure names the DNA-derived ingredient as "Sodium DNA" (4ppm), not PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) or even Hydrolyzed DNA. This is a marketing-vs-disclosure naming gap, not confirmed as the injectable-grade ingredient the name implies.
Is it non-comedogenic tested?
No — the brand states it hasn't been non-comedogenic tested, though it has completed sensitivity and alternative-to-animal-testing safety tests (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A brand answer dated 2026-03-06, checked 2026-09-04).
