Are the Mediheal PDRN lifting pads worth it?
A 100-pad tub that is pleasant to use and cheap per sheet. The PDRN content printed on Mediheal's own page is 100 ppb — a thousandth of what Anua prints, and a hundred thousand times less than Medicube.
Check which version you are buying
Nothing we saw points to a different formula, but the product names differ between markets and we could not confirm from Mediheal that they are the same item. A double pack of two 100-pad tubs is sold through Olive Young Global.
What Koreans see when they shop for it
Public rating and ranking data as recorded on 2026-09-20, with the source next to each number. These platforms update continuously, so treat them as a snapshot. We do not reproduce Korean review text — the links further down take you to the originals.
What the label actually says
Written by us from Mediheal's own product page and the Glowpick listing — not taken from anyone's review text.
100 ppb is a trace, and the brand prints it
The ingredient list gives sodium DNA at 100 ppb — that is 0.00001%. Mediheal is being transparent by printing it, and reading that number is the fastest way to set the right expectation for this product.
The pad is the product
At 100 pads for 26,000 KRW this is one of the cheapest ways to add a pad step to a routine, and it scores highest of the three PDRN products on Glowpick. The value is in the format and the price, not the headline ingredient.
The Korean and English names do not match
Korea sells it as a pore-and-firmness pad while the English listing is a lifting toner pad. We believe these are the same product but could not confirm it from Mediheal's own documentation, so check the ingredient list if you want to be sure.
Specs and ingredients
Where to buy it
We do not print store prices here — they move constantly and would be wrong the day after we published. Check the current price on the store page.
We earn a commission from purchases made through these links. It does not change what we recommend or what you pay.
Compare price per pad rather than per tub — single and double packs are both sold.

Questions people actually ask
Is 100 ppb of PDRN doing anything?
We cannot tell you that. What we can tell you is the number: 100 ppb is 0.00001%, which is a thousandth of the figure Anua publishes for its PDRN serum. Buy this for the pad format.
Is this an exfoliating pad?
No. It is positioned as a hydrating pad you leave on the skin for several minutes, unlike acid pads that you sweep and discard.
Is the English name the same product?
Korea sells it under a pore-and-firmness name and the English listings call it a lifting toner pad. We believe they are the same product but could not confirm it from the brand, so check the ingredient list if it matters.
What we could not verify
Korean retail sites and Amazon block automated reading, so some numbers you see quoted elsewhere could not be confirmed at the source. We would rather list them than print a number we cannot stand behind.
- Hwahae rating and review count — the page blocks automated reading.
- Whether the Korean and English product names refer to exactly the same item.
- The category and date of the two Glowpick awards.
- Live Amazon price, rating and review count.
- Cumulative sales figures.
- Whether the formula has been renewed since launch.
