APIS PDRN OCEAN LIFT is a comprehensive cosmetic line for mature skin and skin showing the first signs of loss of firmness, elasticity and hydration. At the heart of the formulas is AlgaSurge™ – an ingredient from red microalgae Porphyridium cruentum, which represents a source of vegan PDRN. The line is not based on just one trendy ingredient, but combines PDRN with peptides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, squalane, plant oils and selected algae and mushroom extracts.
In short: PDRN OCEAN LIFT is a five-step skincare system – cleansing, toning, eye area care, daily care with SPF 30 and a richer nighttime care. The purpose of the line is to support a more hydrated, smooth, firm and fresh appearance of the skin. PDRN cosmetic products should not be equated with medical or injectable PDRN procedures.
What is PDRN and why does it appear in modern cosmetics?
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotides. In modern cosmetics, the term is used in formulas intended primarily for skin care that shows signs of aging, lack of moisture and reduced elasticity. In the APIS PDRN OCEAN LIFT line, it is important that the source of PDRN is of vegan origin: AlgaSurge™ is obtained from red microalgae.
This is an important difference because the term PDRN is often associated with various professional and medical-aesthetic procedures in the public domain. A cosmetic cream or toner is not equivalent to an injectable procedure. In home cosmetic care, we primarily evaluate the quality of the formulation, concentration and combination of cosmetic ingredients, suitability for the skin, and realistic, cosmetic effects on the appearance and feel of the skin.
AlgaSurge™: Vegan PDRN from Red Microalgae
The key ingredient of the line is AlgaSurge™, obtained from red microalgae Porphyridium cruentum. According to data provided for the tested formulation with 1% AlgaSurge™, an in-vivo study was conducted on 90 women aged 35 to 65 years.
- +12% fuller skin appearance after 24 hours,
- +6% skin radiance after 24 hours,
- +16% firmness and +13% elasticity after 28 days,
- 36% fewer visible wrinkles after 28 days,
- 13% reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) after 28 days.
Important: the percentages mentioned refer to the study of the tested formulation with 1% AlgaSurge™. They do not represent a guaranteed result for each individual and should not be automatically transferred to each specific final product without data on its specific testing.
Why is the combination of ingredients more important than a single “trendy” ingredient?
Good anti-age or age-support care is not based on a single ingredient. In PDRN OCEAN LIFT, PDRN is supplemented with Triple Peptide Synergy in key products – a combination of three peptides: SNAP-8™ (acetyl octapeptide-3), Argireline™ (acetyl hexapeptide-8) and palmitoyl tripeptide-5.
The formulas are further complemented by hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, squalane, rose water, marula oil, rice oil, shea butter, snow algae and Hydra-Firming Mushroom Complex. It is precisely the combination of moisturizing, nourishing and supporting ingredients that gives the line meaning as a complete routine.
The complete APIS PDRN OCEAN LIFT routine
1. Smoothing Micellar Gel for Cleansing and Makeup Removal – 300 ml
The routine begins with gentle yet thorough cleansing. The micellar gel is designed to remove makeup, excess sebum and daily impurities. The formula contains AlgaSurge™, hyaluronic acid and extracts of guarana and date.
Apply the product to damp skin, gently massage and rinse thoroughly with water. Suitable for morning and evening cleansing and preparing the skin for the next steps of care.
For whom? Primarily for mature skin and skin that needs gentle cleansing without the unnecessary feeling of dryness.
2. Moisturising and Smoothing Tonic Mist – 150 ml
After cleansing comes the tonic mist, which refreshes, hydrates and prepares the skin for further care. It contains AlgaSurge™, rose water, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, snow algae and extracts of Tremella fuciformis and Corthellus shiitake mushrooms.
Spray the mist over cleansed skin with eyes closed and let it absorb. In the routine, it is not just an “in-between” step, but a standalone care part that supports the feeling of comfort and hydration of the skin.
3. Lifting and Smoothing Eye Cream – 15 ml
The eye area requires particularly thoughtful care. This concentrated cream combines AlgaSurge™, triple peptide synergy, hyaluronic acid, snow algae, Hydra-Firming Mushroom Complex, marula oil, squalane and shea butter.
It is intended for the care of mature eye area skin with visible signs of loss of firmness and elasticity. Apply to cleansed eye area and let absorb.
Important detail: although the source of PDRN in the line is vegan, this individual product is, according to the provided information, marked as non-vegan. This is important for users looking exclusively for vegan cosmetics.
4. Day Lifting and Plumping Cream SPF 30 – 50 ml
The day cream combines skin care with SPF 30. It contains 1% AlgaSurge™, Triple Peptide Synergy, snow algae, rice oil and squalane. It is intended for skin with the first wrinkles and mature skin that needs hydration, support for firmness and daily UV protection.
Apply the cream evenly to the face, neck and décolleté. With products containing a protection factor, sufficient application amount is important; too small an amount means less actual protection than stated. With intense or prolonged sun exposure, appropriate re-protection is advisable.
5. Regenerative Lifting Night Cream – 50 ml
The night cream is the richer final step of the evening routine. It contains 1% AlgaSurge™, Triple Peptide Synergy, Hydra-Firming Mushroom Complex, niacinamide, marula oil and shea butter.
It is intended for mature skin with visible signs of loss of firmness and elasticity that needs more intensive care, hydration and a feeling of comfort. Apply in the evening to cleansed face, neck and décolleté.
Morning and Evening Routine – How to Use the Line?
| Morning | Evening |
|---|---|
| 1. Micellar Gel | 1. Micellar Gel |
| 2. Tonic Mist | 2. Tonic Mist |
| 3. Eye Cream | 3. Eye Cream |
| 4. Day Cream SPF 30 | 4. Regenerative Night Cream |
The entire line is designed so that the products complement each other, but this does not mean that every skin must use all five products. The best routine is the one that suits the actual condition of the skin.
Who is PDRN OCEAN LIFT most suitable for?
The line is particularly interesting for:
- mature skin,
- skin with the first or more pronounced wrinkles,
- skin with reduced sense of firmness and elasticity,
- skin that lacks moisture and comfort,
- skin with a tired, less radiant appearance,
- users who want a complete routine with a vegan source of PDRN.
A contraindication for individual products is allergy to any ingredient. Before first use, it is advisable to perform a test on a small area of skin, especially for sensitive or reactive skin.
Is APIS PDRN OCEAN LIFT “lifting” in a medical sense?
No. The term lifting in cosmetic nomenclature describes the goal of care or the appearance of smoother, firmer and tighter skin. A cosmetic cream does not perform surgical or medical lifting and does not replace medical-aesthetic procedures.
This distinction is important because it allows for realistic expectations and professional communication without exaggerated promises.
Salon Treatment or Home Routine?
At Zoja Beauty, we first look at the condition of the skin and the individual’s needs. There are two completely valid paths: the client can decide for professional salon treatment only or supplement it with a professionally selected home care routine.
A home routine is not mandatory, but it can help maintain more continuity between salon visits. The choice of products should be sensible and not based on the idea that “more is always better”.

For a user looking for thoughtful mature skin care, this is more important than a single “miracle” ingredient.
