K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Serum : Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng 30 ml

K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 Serum: Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng 30 ml is a beginner-friendly Korean anti-aging serum combining advanced Retinal Liposome technology with Black Ginseng (Panax Ginseng Root Extract), Niacinamide, Bakuchiol, Peptides, and Adenosine. The liposomal delivery system encapsulates retinal to improve stability and skin comfort compared with traditional retinoid formulas.

Designed as a nighttime treatment, this fragrance-free, essential-oil-free serum fits both beginner and experienced retinoid routines. With consistent use and daily sunscreen, it helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and post-acne marks while supporting a healthier-looking skin barrier over time.

Important: “Retinal Liposome 2%” describes the liposomal retinal complex — it should not be interpreted as 2% pure retinal unless officially confirmed by K-SECRET.

Key Benefits

•           Improves fine lines and wrinkles – Retinal supports skin renewal for a smoother, firmer look

•           Refines uneven texture – Retinal, Bakuchiol, and Niacinamide soften rough-feeling skin

•           Brightens uneven tone – Niacinamide, Vitamin C Derivative, and Black Ginseng reduce dullness and post-acne marks

•           Improves visible pores – balances oil and smooths texture without harsh exfoliation

•           Gentler retinal delivery – liposomal encapsulation improves absorption and reduces irritation potential

•           Antioxidant-rich – Black Ginseng’s ginsenosides defend against environmental stress

•           Supports the barrier during retinal use – Glycerin, Betaine, Cholesterol, and Lecithin reduce dryness

Key Ingredients

Retinal (Retinaldehyde), a next-generation Vitamin A derivative, converts to retinoic acid more efficiently than retinol, improving fine lines, texture, and renewal — beginners should introduce it gradually. The Retinal Liposome Complex encapsulates retinal for better stability, gradual overnight release, and improved comfort. Black Ginseng (Panax Ginseng Root Extract) provides ginsenoside antioxidants for vitality and radiance, while Niacinamide brightens tone and refines pores, and Bakuchiol complements retinal with additional antioxidant support.

Adenosine softens wrinkles’ appearance; 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (a stable Vitamin C derivative) adds radiance and antioxidant protection; and a peptide complex (SH-Oligopeptide-1, SH-Oligopeptide-2, SH-Polypeptide-1) supports firmness. Glycerin, Betaine, Cholesterol, and Hydrogenated Lecithin reinforce the moisture barrier during retinal use.

Note: Formula also includes Macadamia and Sunflower Seed Oil plus Burdock, Peony, Japanese Yam, and Rehmannia Root Extracts — always verify the current INCI list on packaging.

Product Specifications

Skin Type Suitability

Suits normal, dry, combination, oily, and mature skin dealing with fine lines, texture, or dullness. Many with sensitive skin can use it too, with gradual introduction, a patch test, and a barrier moisturizer. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding (consult a healthcare provider), allergic to any listed ingredient, using multiple strong retinoids, or if skin is broken or severely compromised.

How To Use

Evening only: after cleansing (and toner, if used), apply 1–2 pumps (pea-sized) over face, avoiding eyelids, lips, and broken skin. Follow with a barrier moisturizer (Ceramides, Cholesterol, Panthenol). Beginners: start 2 nights/week for weeks 1–2, increase to every other night by weeks 3–4, then nightly if tolerated. Always wear SPF 30+ sunscreen each morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is this serum for? A Korean night serum with Retinal Liposome technology, Black Ginseng, Niacinamide, and Bakuchiol that improves fine lines, wrinkles, texture, pores, and dullness.

2. Is it suitable for beginners? Yes — the liposomal delivery system improves comfort; start 2 nights/week and increase gradually as skin adjusts.

3. What’s the difference between Retinal and Retinol? Both are Vitamin A derivatives, but Retinal converts to retinoic acid more efficiently than retinol, often working faster.

4. Does “2%” mean 2% pure retinal? No — it refers to the Retinal Liposome Complex concentration, not pure retinal content, unless the manufacturer confirms otherwise.

5. Can I use it with Vitamin C or Niacinamide? Yes — many prefer Vitamin C in the morning and this serum at night; Niacinamide is already included and works well alongside retinal.

6. How long until I see results? Smoother-feeling skin may appear within a few weeks; fine lines, texture, and radiance improvements typically show after 8–12 weeks of consistent use.

7. Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding? Consult your healthcare provider first, as it contains a Vitamin A derivative (Retinal).

8. How do I verify an original product? Buy from authorized retailers and check official K-SECRET branding, batch number, barcode, and expiry date.
