Discover the Korean secret to youthful skin – SEOUL 1988 Serum – powered by retinal liposome technology, proven to act 11x faster than retinol with significantly less irritation. Liposomal encapsulation stabilizes retinal and enhances penetration into the skin, delivering more effective yet gentler results compared to standard retinol.
With niacinamide, vitamin C, black ginseng, bakuchiol and peptides, this serum reduces fine lines, brightens hyperpigmentation, reinforces the skin barrier and restores firmness and hydration.
Early benefits like improved hydration and reduced redness may appear within 1–2 weeks, while more visible improvements in tone, texture and wrinkles show up over consistent use.

How to use
- For adults; ideal for preventive care from your 20s, especially effective for mature skin.
- Use only at night, as retinal increases sun sensitivity.
- After cleansing and toning, apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck, then follow with moisturizer.
- If you’re new to retinal:
- Weeks 1–2: 2x per week
- Weeks 3–4: every other night
- Week 5+: nightly as tolerated
- Always apply SPF during the day.
-
- Pro tip: To reduce potential irritation, apply a moisturizer before and after the serum – the so-called “retinal sandwich” method.
