The K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 serum combines the power of modern Korean technology with traditional medicine. The 2% retinal liposome (one of the most effective, fast-acting forms of vitamin A) and black ginseng not only smooths the skin’s surface but also deeply renews its structure. Its light, yellow emulsion absorbs quickly, making it the most powerful weapon in your evening routine for radiant, firm skin.
Why will you love it?
- Retinal Liposome Technology: Retinal converts into its active form in the skin 11 times faster than retinol, and the liposome formulation helps it reach deeper layers without causing irritation.
- The Power of Black Ginseng: As an antioxidant powerhouse, it stimulates microcirculation and collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity.
- Visible lifting effect: With regular use, it lifts facial contours, "visually firms" sagging skin, and smooths even deep wrinkles.
- Skin barrier protection: Niacinamide and macadamia oil ensure that your skin’s protective layer remains intact during the renewal process.
- Combats skin imperfections: Regulates sebum production and helps fade hyperpigmentation (spots).
- Clean formula: Fragrance-free and convenient, with a pump dispenser, so every drop remains hygienic.
Key active ingredients:
- 2% Retinal (Liposomal): Stimulates cell renewal, regulates exfoliation, enhances firmness, and reduces skin imperfections.
- Ginseng Root Extract: Revitalizes, firms, and helps the skin defend against oxidative stress.
- Niacinamide: Has anti-inflammatory properties, evens out skin tone, and strengthens the hydrolipid barrier.
- Macadamia oil: Forms a nourishing protective layer that prevents moisture loss and reduces irritation.
- Vitamin E: Protects the skin from premature aging and enhances elasticity.
Main effects:
- Smooths fine lines and deeper wrinkles.
- Visibly firms and lifts the skin (lifting effect).
- Lightens pigmentation spots and evens out skin tone.
- Reduces excessive sebum production and minimizes skin imperfections.
Expert tip: Retinol is an extremely potent ingredient, so gradual introduction is key! Start by incorporating it into your evening routine 2–3 times a week until your skin adjusts. Since vitamin A makes the skin sensitive to light, using a high-SPF sunscreen (SPF 50+) to protect the new, fresh layer of skin!
How to use:
- Thoroughly cleanse your face and apply your toner.
- Wait until your face is completely dry (damp skin can increase irritation from vitamin A).
- Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck (avoid the immediate eye area).
- Use it as the final step (or follow with a rich moisturizer if you want extra nourishment).
Warning: Use of this product is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Do not use simultaneously with other strong exfoliants (e.g., high-concentration AHA/BHA acids) or vitamin C!
