SEOUL 1988 CREAM : RETINAL LIPOSOME 1% + FERMENTED RICE 50ML

SEOUL 1988 Cream: Retinal Liposome 1% + Fermented Rice by K-SECRET is a daily retinal cream that is gentle enough for all skin types. It encapsulates retinal in micro-liposomes to improve absorption and stability and pairs it with fermented rice extract, niacinamide, and bakuchiol to help refine texture, soften the look of fine lines, and even out dark spots.

Best For

• Fine lines
• Uneven skin texture
• Dark spots and uneven tone
• Retinal beginners looking for a gentle first step (the "Newbie" strength in the Seoul 1988 Retinal line)

Key Ingredients

• Retinal Liposome 1%: refines texture for clearer-looking skin.
• Fermented Rice Extract: enhances skin radiance and boosts hydration.
• Niacinamide: balances skin tone and reinforces the moisture barrier.
• Bakuchiol: a plant-derived retinol alternative that supports skin elasticity.

Advanced Liposome Technology

Retinal is encapsulated in micro-liposomes to enhance absorption and stability, helping the active ingredients reach deeper into the skin.

Why Retinal?

• Refines skin texture: smooths uneven texture and refines skin tone.
• Supports natural renewal: promotes gentle skin turnover and collagen support.
• Improves radiance: helps visibly reduce the look of fine lines and dark spots.

Retinal is one step away from retinoic acid, so it converts into its active form faster than retinol while being gentler on skin.

Pure Yellow, a Sign of Fresh Retinal

Retinal is naturally yellow, and its hue deepens with higher concentrations. This cream is made without artificial colorants, so the pale yellow color is normal.

How to Use

1. After cleansing, toning, and applying your serum, apply a pea-sized amount evenly over the face and neck.
2. Gently massage until fully absorbed. If used in the morning, follow with sunscreen.

A patch test is recommended.

Retinal Usage Tips: Build Your Tolerance

• Weeks 1 to 2: use twice a week.
• Weeks 3 to 4: use every other night.
• From week 5: use every night.

• Use at night: retinal is deactivated by sunlight. If you use it in the daytime, cover with SPF 30+.
• Use a pea-sized amount for the entire face and neck. Too much may cause irritation.
• Apply on dry skin: damp skin may increase irritation.
• Try the "sandwich" method: light moisturizer, then retinal, then rich moisturizer.

Storage: keep in a dry, shaded place. Refrigeration is recommended.
Caution: avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
