PDRN vs. Retinol: Why Finch Marine Protocol is the Superior Choice for Mature Skin

If you are over the age of 60, you have likely noticed a frustrating trend: the skincare products that worked in your 40s and 50s simply stopped delivering results. You may still be religiously applying Retinol, Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic Acid, yet your skin remains thin, dry, and lacking in vitality.

This isn't your fault. It is a biological reality that the beauty industry largely ignores.

Most Western anti-aging products rely on turnover. Ingredients like Retinol work by irritating the skin to force rapid cell shedding. For younger skin, this reveals a fresh layer underneath. But for mature skin, which has already thinned significantly due to hormonal changes, "stripping" the top layer doesn't create a glow—it creates inflammation, sensitivity, and that dreaded "crepey" texture.

You cannot exfoliate your way to youth. You must regenerate.

This is why the Finch Marine Protocol is fundamentally different from anything else on the American market. It does not focus on stripping the skin; it focuses on rebuilding it using PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide).

What is PDRN?

PDRN is a DNA fragment extracted from the sperm of salmon (specifically Arctic salmon in the Finch protocol). While "salmon DNA" sounds unusual to the uninitiated, it is the "Gold Standard" in South Korean regenerative medicine for one specific reason: Bio-Compatibility.

Salmon DNA is 95% bio-identical to human DNA.

When you apply synthetic chemicals, your skin often reacts with defense (inflammation). When you apply PDRN, your skin recognizes it. It bypasses the skin barrier and binds to adenosine receptors, triggering a specific biological signal: REPAIR.

Why Finch Marine Protocol is the Superior Choice

While PDRN is common in expensive injectable treatments in Seoul (often costing $500+ per session), Finch Marine Protocol has successfully stabilized this compound for topical home use.

Here is why this specific formulation is critical for women over 60:

  1. Deep Tissue Regeneration: Unlike collagen creams (which have molecules too large to penetrate the skin), PDRN is microscopic. It penetrates deep into the dermis to stimulate metabolic activity, actually thickening the skin barrier rather than thinning it.

  2. The "Arctic" Advantage: The source matters. Finch utilizes sustainable, deep-ocean Arctic salmon sources. This ensures the PDRN is free from the heavy metals and pollutants often found in farmed sources, providing a cleaner, more potent signal to your cells.

  3. Anti-Inflammatory Action: Chronic inflammation is a primary cause of aging (often called "inflammaging"). PDRN is naturally anti-inflammatory, calming the redness and irritation that often plagues mature skin.

The Verdict

If you are tired of products that promise the world but only deliver surface hydration, it is time to switch your philosophy from "turnover" to "regeneration."

The Finch Marine Protocol isn't just a moisturizer. It is a biological intervention. It provides the building blocks your skin needs to repair itself from the inside out. Don't just cover up the years—restore the health of the skin you are in.
