Description

SEOUL 1988 Serum: Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng 30ml

Overview

SEOUL 1988 Serum is built around 2% retinal liposomes, a stabilised, encapsulated form of retinaldehyde designed to enhance ingredient stability and improve absorption while helping to minimise irritation. The formula is paired with 58% black ginseng extract for its antioxidant properties, along with niacinamide, adenosine, and a trio of peptides to support skin firmness and tone. Herbal root extracts, bakuchiol, and a stable vitamin C derivative round out the formula. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture makes it a suitable next step for those newer to retinal-based routines.

What Does SEOUL 1988 Serum Do?

This serum is designed to support skin renewal and visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and rough texture. The liposome delivery system is designed to release retinal gradually, helping to smooth texture while limiting some of the irritation associated with more traditional retinal or retinol formulas. Black ginseng extract and niacinamide work alongside the retinal to help brighten the look of the complexion and refine the appearance of pores.

Key Benefits

• Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and rough texture
• Refines the look of pores and improves overall skin texture
• Brightens the complexion with black ginseng extract and niacinamide
• Liposome delivery system designed to enhance stability and absorption

Who Is This Product For?

This serum is best suited to anyone looking to introduce a retinal-based product into their routine, particularly those newer to retinal ingredients who want a gentler starting concentration than the brand’s 4% eye cream. It also appeals to those focused on improving skin texture, tone, and the appearance of pores.

Suitable Skin Types

Suitable for all skin types, including mature and sensitive skin, thanks to its dermatologically tested, liposome-based formula.

Key Ingredients

Retinal Liposome (2%) – A stabilised, encapsulated form of retinaldehyde that supports skin renewal and helps visibly smooth the appearance of fine lines and texture, with a slower-release delivery system designed to reduce irritation.

Black Ginseng Extract (58%) – A fermented form of ginseng valued for its concentrated antioxidant properties, helping to protect the skin and support a more radiant-looking complexion.

Niacinamide – A form of vitamin B3 that helps improve the look of skin tone and texture.

Adenosine – Known for supporting the appearance of firmer, smoother-looking skin.

Bakuchiol – A plant-derived ingredient often used alongside or as a gentler complement to retinal-based ingredients.

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid – A stable derivative of vitamin C included to help support brightness and antioxidant protection.

How To Use

Step 1 – Cleanse and tone the skin as usual. Step 2 – Apply a pea-sized amount evenly over the face and neck. Step 3 – Gently massage until fully absorbed, then follow with a moisturiser. Best used as part of a nighttime routine.

When Should You Use It?

This serum is formulated for nighttime use, applied after cleansing and toning and before moisturiser. Because it contains a retinal ingredient, it should be used in the evening, with sunscreen applied the following morning as part of your daytime routine.

Can You Use It With Other Skincare Products?

Yes, though as with any retinal-based product, care should be taken when combining it with other strong exfoliating acids or additional retinoid products in the same routine, to avoid over-irritating the skin. Those new to retinal ingredients may wish to start with every-other-night use before building up to nightly application, and always follow with a moisturiser to help support the skin barrier.
