[06] KSECRET - SEOUL 1988 SERUM : RETINAL LIPOSOME 2% + BLACK GINSENG 30ML

A high-performance anti-aging serum featuring encapsulated retinal (vitamin A1) and black ginseng extract to target wrinkles, uneven tone, and skin texture — all while minimizing irritation.

Suitable for Skin Type:

• Best for normal, combination, mature, and oily skin

• Suitable for dry skin if layered with hydrating products

• Not recommended for extremely sensitive or damaged barrier skin without prior retinoid tolerance

What Will It Achieve?

• Boosts collagen production and improves skin elasticity

• Visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and rough texture

• Improves skin tone, helps fade hyperpigmentation

• Supports skin cell turnover and gives smoother, firmer skin

Key Ingredients:

• Encapsulated Retinal Liposome (2%) – More potent than retinol, retinal speeds up cell turnover and collagen synthesis with less irritation thanks to liposome delivery

• Black Ginseng Extract – Rich in antioxidants, improves elasticity, and revitalizes dull skin

• Niacinamide – Brightens and balances oil production

• Panthenol – Soothes and strengthens the skin barrier

• Allantoin & Adenosine – Repair and anti-aging support

• Ceramide NP – Strengthens the skin barrier

Best Used Morning or Evening Routine?

• Evening (PM only) — retinal increases sun sensitivity

• Always follow with a moisturizer and use SPF in the morning

Complimented By:

• Hydrating toners/essences (e.g. hyaluronic acid, centella, snail)

• Ceramide creams or barrier-repair moisturizers

• Niacinamide for boosting skin tone and tolerability

• Peptide or ginseng creams for anti-aging synergy

Avoid Layering With:

• AHA/BHA/PHA exfoliants in the same routine (can increase irritation)

• Vitamin C (unless your skin is very tolerant and you stagger application)

• Benzoyl peroxide (can deactivate retinal)

Which Step in the Routine Does It Belong?
Serum step – after toner/essence, before moisturizer

Caution (Things to Be Aware Of):

• Retinal is potent – start 2–3x per week if you're new to retinoids

• Mild purging or dryness may occur in early use

• Always use sunscreen daily while using this serum

• Do not use on broken or compromised skin

Instructions (How to Use):

1. After cleansing and toner, apply 1–2 pumps to dry skin at night

2. Gently pat into skin and follow with a moisturizer

3. Start using 2–3 times per week, then increase gradually

4. Do not mix with acids or exfoliants in the same routine

5. Always wear broad-spectrum SPF during the day
