How it works
PDRN Enriched Recovery Balm is Genabelle's balm, formulated to work as a richer, more occlusive balm step for areas that need extra sealing. Niacinamide sits right at the top of the ingredient list, just after the base, a barrier-supporting, tone-evening amide that also supports a brighter-looking tone with regular use. Panthenol sits high on the ingredient list, provitamin B5, supporting barrier softness and easing the look of dryness. Sodium DNA sits high on the ingredient list, the salmon-derived polynucleotide (PDRN) this formula is built around, associated with supporting the skin barrier and with plumping. Genabelle's PDRN line runs on Sodium DNA, the salmon-derived polynucleotide the brand is best known for, alongside centella and portulaca extracts.
Key benefits
- Niacinamide, a barrier-supporting, tone-evening amide that also supports a brighter-looking tone with regular use
- Panthenol, provitamin B5, supporting barrier softness and easing the look of dryness
- Sodium DNA, the salmon-derived polynucleotide (PDRN) this formula is built around, associated with supporting the skin barrier and with plumping
How to use
- Apply it last at night, after your toner, serum and, on very dry skin, your usual cream.
- Warm a small amount between your fingers first so it spreads instead of dragging.
- Press it over slightly damp skin and take it down over the neck in the same pass.
- Do not use it in the morning under makeup, because a balm will move a foundation around as you blend.
What is the difference between a balm and a cream?
A balm is heavier and stays on the surface longer, so it is still slowing water loss when you wake up. A cream has usually absorbed and finished by then. That is why a balm belongs at night.
Do I use it instead of my cream or on top?
On very dry skin, on top, as the final layer of the evening. On normal skin it can replace the cream entirely. Either way it is the last thing you apply.
Can I wear it in the daytime?
Not under makeup, because a balm will move a foundation as you blend it. On a bare skin day at home in winter it is fine. Most people keep it strictly for nights.
Is it too heavy for combination skin?
Often yes across the nose and forehead. Using it on the cheeks only, with a lighter cream elsewhere, is a reasonable compromise in winter. In summer most combination skin skips it.
How long does a 50ml jar last?
Used at night only, three months or more. A small amount warmed between the fingers goes a long way, and that is also how you avoid a thick layer on the pillow.

Worth knowing
- Oily skin usually finds a balm too much, even at night in summer.
- Keep it away from the lash line, since a heavy texture can migrate into the eye overnight.
