Bae Suzy's Glass Skin Routine Guide

The Anua ambassador fact and PDRN collection come from the campaign itself. Her toner-on-damp-skin habit is a direct quote via Korea Times. Her exfoliation frequency comes from Cosmopolitan's reporting. Her makeup-removal habit is documented by both Lifestyle Asia and thezoereport. Four separate sources, each covering a different piece — which is why this guide can be more specific than single-source coverage.

Korea Times has quoted Suzy directly on applying toner to still-damp skin rather than fully towel-drying first — an easy, free habit to copy before you buy anything. The logic is straightforward: damp skin absorbs a watery toner more evenly than fully dried skin, which reduces the number of layers needed to get the same hydration effect. This habit is compatible with any toner brand, not just the Anua PDRN collection covered in step 2 — it's a technique, not a product-specific claim.

This is the confirmed Anua sequence: spray the PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray onto damp skin, then layer the PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Capsule Serum, then seal with the PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream. Anua hasn't published an official step order beyond naming the collection itself, so this sequencing follows standard thin-to-thick layering logic — spray, then serum, then cream — rather than a quoted routine order from Suzy herself. The three products share the same PDRN base ingredient across three different textures and delivery formats, which is a common way K-beauty brands build a 'collection' around one hero ingredient rather than three unrelated products.

Cosmopolitan's coverage notes a low-frequency approach — one to two times a week, not daily — which fits the broader glass-skin principle of not over-processing skin. This step is separate from the Anua PDRN collection and should stay capped at that frequency regardless of which exfoliant you use, since more frequent exfoliation tends to work against the same hydration goal the PDRN layer is built for.

Lifestyle Asia and thezoereport both describe thorough makeup removal as a consistent habit before any of the above steps begin. As with Kendall Jenner's routine, this unglamorous step is what makes the PDRN layering and toner habit actually work — product layered on top of unremoved makeup or SPF residue doesn't perform the same way, since it's competing with residue for contact with skin rather than absorbing directly.

It's not just a name-drop. Knowing the specific product family (PDRN, not a general 'Anua toner') lets you shop this routine correctly instead of guessing which Anua product she might be associated with. It also explains why this routine leans hydration-and-glow rather than the redness-and-tone framing of Anua's other documented ambassador routine (Kendall Jenner's, covered separately on this site) — different ambassador, different hero ingredient family within the same brand.

If the full three-product PDRN collection is more than you want to commit to at once, the spray serum is the single-purchase entry point — it's the lightest, most flexible layer of the three and can sit on top of an existing toner-and-moisturizer routine without requiring the other two PDRN products alongside it. Add the capsule serum and moisturizing cream later if the spray works for your skin.

This site also covers Anua's confirmed relationship with Kendall Jenner, and the two routines are worth reading side by side because they highlight genuinely different parts of Anua's product range rather than repeating the same story with a different celebrity name attached. Jenner's confirmed picks (Azelaic Acid serum, PDRN spray, gua sha cream) lean redness-and-tone, tied to her documented acne history. Suzy's confirmed campaign leans hydration-and-glow, built around the wider PDRN Hyaluronic Acid line rather than azelaic acid. Reading both makes it clear Anua's ambassador strategy is matching different product families to different faces, not just repeating one universal claim.

PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide, an ingredient originally studied in wound-healing and regenerative contexts before it crossed into cosmetic formulas as a skin-repair and glow-focused active. In K-beauty marketing it's most often paired with hydration and 'glow' claims rather than positioned as a treatment for a specific skin concern like acne or pigmentation — which lines up with how the three PDRN products in this collection are framed: hydration-forward, not treatment-forward. That's a useful distinction if you're deciding whether this collection fits a routine that already has a dedicated acne or pigmentation step elsewhere.

This is a hydration-and-glow routine built around a PDRN collection, not a treatment routine for active acne, deep pigmentation, or textural scarring. Readers with those specific concerns need a targeted-active step this routine doesn't include, and should treat the PDRN layer as a hydration addition rather than a substitute for that treatment step.

As of 2026, most general coverage still hasn't caught up to the ambassador fact — this guide has.
