Everything about the Night Cream, the Eye Patches, and your order.
The Night Cream
What is S‑DNA™ (PDRN)?
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a mix of purified DNA fragments from salmon, one of the most talked-about actives in Korean dermatology. S‑DNA™ is Cotrini's PDRN, paired with calming Korean botanicals. It comes from salmon harvested for food, so none of the fish goes to waste.
When will I see results?
In clinical testing, hydration rose 34% in 2 weeks and 52% in 4 weeks. Firmness and elasticity improved significantly by week 4, and every woman in the perception study said her skin felt softer.*
Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?
Yes. We haven’t seen any issues with either, and customers tell us it pairs especially well with retinol, which can be very drying. Apply your serum first, then the Night Cream. If you use a prescription retinoid, check with your dermatologist.
Is it gentle enough for reactive skin?
It's fragrance-free and was classified non-irritating in dermatologist-supervised patch testing. If your skin is reactive, patch-test on your inner arm first.
Can I use it during the day?
Yes. It’s designed for night, but you can also use it in the morning. Follow with sunscreen.
How long does a jar last?
About 90 nights with nightly use, since a small amount goes a long way. That's under $3 a night. Unopened, a jar keeps for 2 years; once opened, use it within 6 months.
Where is it made?
Cotrini is formulated in South Korea for our California-based company. It's fragrance-free.
Can I use it if I have a fish allergy?
We don’t recommend it. S‑DNA™ is derived from salmon, so if you have a fish allergy, please choose another product.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Please check with your healthcare provider before using it.

The Eye Patches
Do the micro‑darts hurt?
Most people feel only a slight tingle as they press each patch on for 5–10 seconds, and that’s normal. The micro-darts dissolve as you sleep.
How often do I use the Eye Patches?
2–3 nights a week for three weeks, then take the fourth week off. At 2 nights a week, one box of 6 pairs lasts about a month.
Can I use the Night Cream with them?
Yes, and we recommend it. Put the patches on clean, dry skin first, then apply the Night Cream around them. Cream under the patches makes them slip overnight.
Can I wear them during the day?
They’re designed for overnight. If you wear them during the day, keep them on for several hours so the micro-darts can dissolve.
Can I reuse a patch?
No. Each pair is single use, since the micro-darts dissolve overnight.
Sets, Discovery and auto-replenish
How does auto-replenish work?
Choose auto-replenish when you order and save 20% on every delivery. A new jar arrives every 3 months, timed to when your last one runs out. Skip or cancel anytime from your account.
How does the 14‑Night Discovery work?
It’s a 14-night supply of the Night Cream for $35, and your $35 is credited toward your first full jar.
What’s in the Night Ritual Set?
The Night Cream and one box of the Micro‑Dart Eye Patches (6 pairs), for $329. Bought separately, they’re $378.99.
What’s in the Year of Nights?
4 jars of the Night Cream and 12 boxes of the Eye Patches, shipped together, for $1,999. That’s less than a year of auto-replenish.
