‘It sinks into the skin effortlessly, leaving my complexion refreshed and glowing. I’ve seen visible improvements after just a few days of use’
Skincare is full of big promises, but finding a product that actually delivers can be tricky, especially for mature shoppers. One beauty buy, however, is getting people talking.
Rodial’s Salmon DNA Water Oil has been praised by shoppers in their 30s through to their 50s, with all reviewers claiming it’s made a visible difference. At the centre of the formula is salmon DNA: an ingredient that might sound unusual, but has become a growing trend in skincare thanks to its ability to support skin regeneration, strengthen the barrier and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The water-oil hybrid uses active ingredients to help boost collagen and improve firmness and elasticity. Meanwhile, the oil works to lock in hydration and prevent moisture loss.
Plus, according to the experts, it actually works. Clinical studies on key ingredients found up to a 98% reduction in wrinkle depth and a 95% increase in collagen production after eight weeks of testing with 20 volunteers.
That said, it’s a luxury buy; an 18ml bottle costs £90, while a 30ml bottle costs £150. As a personal fan of Rodial, I’ve found its products tend to justify the price – although I haven’t yet tried this particular formula myself.

This advanced bi-phase water oil combines powerful skin regeneration with deep barrier repair.
Still, beauty fans on a budget may want to look elsewhere. Amazon is currently offering Medicube’s Salmon DNA PDRN Collagen Capsule Cream, which one shopper described as ‘magical’ for £20.95 from £22.63.
And for anyone looking for a vegan-friendly option, INNISFREE uses green tea in its Retinol PDRN Firming Serum (£31, Look Fantastic). Ideal for sensitive or blemish-prone skin, the serum absorbs quickly for a firmer-looking finish.
Back to Rodial, the Salmon DNA Water Oil has had some great reviews from happy fans. This person, who said their age is between 45 and 55, shared: “I absolutely love it. After just a few days, people are asking if I have had something done (rude!). Don’t want to be without it again. Also, my skin can be sensitive. No irritation/getting used to it at all.”
Meanwhile, a second chimed in: “The combination of active ingredients in this product has already made a noticeable difference to my skin. My main concerns are hydration, fine lines, and elasticity, and this formula addresses them beautifully.
“It sinks into the skin effortlessly, leaving my complexion refreshed and glowing. I’ve seen visible improvements after just a few days of use. I absolutely love it.
As mentioned, though, £90 for a beauty product isn’t exactly cheap. But this Salmon DNA Water Oil devotee said it was worth the price: “Wow! People have commented on how amazing my skin looks. It’s easy to use. Expensive, but well worth it.”
And another said: “Lovely on the skin. Skin feels plump and soft after use. Will continue to buy.”
