K-Secret Seoul 1988 Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng Serum

K-Secret Seoul 1988 Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng Serum is a premium Korean anti-aging serum that combines cutting-edge retinal liposome technology with the ancient power of 58% black ginseng root extract. This is where K-beauty innovation meets traditional Korean herbal wisdom, and your skin gets the best of both worlds.

The 2% retinal liposome technology encapsulates retinal (retinaldehyde) in liposomes for a gentler feel on skin, helping it look smoother, renewed and firmer without the harsh feel of traditional retinol. Meanwhile, 58% black ginseng, the most concentrated form of ginseng, aged and fermented, deeply nourishes skin and helps it look firmer and more revitalized. Bakuchiol and peptides provide additional support for a youthful, radiant glow.

1. After cleansing and toning, apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
2. Gently pat until absorbed.
3. Follow with moisturizer.
4. Use at night only: retinal increases sun sensitivity.
5. Always apply sunscreen the next morning.

For retinal beginners: Start with every other night for the first 2 weeks. Gradually increase to nightly use as your skin gets used to it.

Pro tip: Retinal liposome and bakuchiol are paired to work together. The liposome encapsulation gives a gentler feel than traditional retinol, but still start slowly. Do not combine with other strong actives (AHA/BHA/vitamin C) in the same evening routine while your skin gets used to it.
