The KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Serum: Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng is a powerful, multi-tasking serum that aims to provide significant anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating benefits through retinal and black ginseng, in a formulation designed to be effective yet gentle.

Key Benefits:

  • Anti-Aging: The 2% Retinal Liposome is a potent form of Vitamin A that promotes cell turnover and collagen production, effectively diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother complexion.
  • Improves Skin Texture & Tone: It helps to refine rough skin texture, even out the complexion, and address issues like dullness and uneven skin tone, leading to a more radiant glow.
  • Fades Hyperpigmentation & Dark Spots: The serum works to reduce the appearance of dark spots, blemishes, and pigmentation, contributing to a clearer and more uniform skin tone.
  • Enhances Skin Elasticity & Firmness: By boosting collagen production and strengthening the skin's structure, it helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness, giving a more lifted and youthful look.
  • Antioxidant Protection: The inclusion of Black Ginseng (often 58% extract) provides powerful antioxidant benefits, protecting the skin from environmental damage and free radicals that contribute to premature aging.
  • Soothes and Calms Skin: Black Ginseng also offers anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to calm redness and irritation, making the serum suitable for various skin types.
  • Gentle & Well-Tolerated: Despite its potency, the liposomal delivery system for retinal and the careful formulation (often free from common irritants like fragrance, parabens, sulfates, and harsh alcohols) aim to minimize irritation, making it suitable for many skin types, including sensitive skin when introduced gradually.

How to use:

After smoothing out the skin’s texture with toner, apply pea-sized amount around the eyes followed by a moisturizer.

Retinal usage tips:

  • Begin with a low concentration: If you're new to retinoids, start with a lower percentage of retinal (e.g., 0.05% or even lower if available).
  • Gradual introduction: Don't use it every night from the start
    • Weeks 1-2: Apply 2-3 times a week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
    • Weeks 3-4: If your skin tolerates it well, you can increase to every other night.
    • Gradually increase: Slowly work your way up to nightly use only if your skin tolerates it without irritation. It can take several weeks for your skin to acclimate.
  • Evening Use Only: Retinal can increase sun sensitivity and some forms can degrade in sunlight, so it's best applied in your evening routine.
