What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA, purified from salmon DNA. Injected into the skin, they are used to support the skin's own repair processes, hydration and overall quality, especially where skin is thin, such as under the eyes and on the neck.
Who they may suit
People with thin or crepey skin around the eyes, neck or décolletage, or whose skin looks tired. Because they come from fish, they are not suitable for vegans, vegetarians or anyone with a fish allergy.
