Product details
K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Cream is a nightly anti-aging cream using a 1% retinal liposome complex to help minimize the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and dullness.
This cream combines a concentrated retinal formulation with a liposome delivery system and a supporting antioxidant complex to improve stability and skin absorption. Designed in the spirit of K-beauty innovation, the product blends fermented rice extract, bakuchiol, vitamin E, and peptides to support smoother texture and a more even-looking complexion when used as part of a consistent evening routine.
How does the retinal liposome system work to improve absorption?
The liposome delivery system encases retinal molecules in microscopic, skin‑friendly carriers that help protect the ingredient and promote better penetration into the upper skin layers. This method aims to reduce ingredient degradation and can make retinal more effective at lower irritation risk compared with unstable formulations.
- 1% retinal concentration in liposome form for increased stability.
- Liposomes act as microscopic vectors to enhance skin delivery.
- Designed to reduce oxidation and preserve potency during storage and application.
When and how should I introduce this cream into my routine?
Use the cream at night to limit retinal exposure to sunlight, which can oxidize vitamin A derivatives. Start slowly—twice weekly for the first one to two weeks—then gradually increase frequency as your skin adjusts to minimize sensitivity.
- Apply after serum, in a thin layer over face and neck.
- Massage gently until fully absorbed to avoid overapplication.
- If used daytime, follow with broad‑spectrum sunscreen to protect skin.
What skin concerns can this retinal cream help address?
The formula is targeted at improving visible signs of aging and uneven texture, including fine lines, rough skin surface, and dull tone. The retinal boosting complex—rice ferment, bakuchiol, vitamin E, and peptides—adds antioxidant support and hydration to help skin appear smoother and more resilient.
- Helps reduce the look of fine lines and rough texture.
- Supports a more even tone and radiant appearance.
- Contains peptides and antioxidants for added skin support.
Are there any application tips or precautions to know?
Because retinal is an active ingredient, it’s best introduced gradually and used mostly at night. Avoid combining with other strong actives without professional advice, and always protect the skin from sun exposure when using retinal-containing products.
- Start with twice-weekly applications, increase slowly.
- Avoid mixing with high-concentration exfoliants or acids without spacing applications.
- Apply sunscreen daily while using retinal products in your routine.
Who is this for: K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Cream is suited to adults seeking visible improvements in fine lines, texture, and tone who already tolerate active skincare ingredients or want to build tolerance safely. It fits well into an evening routine for skin needing antioxidant support and improved ingredient delivery; those with very sensitive skin should patch-test or consult a skincare professional before regular use.
