KSECRET - Seoul 1988 Advanced Shot Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice 15ml

Origin: South Korea

Advanced Retinal. Korean Heritage.

The KSECRET Seoul 1988 Advanced Shot Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice is a high-concentration retinal serum that encapsulates Retinal (Retinaldehyde) in a liposome delivery system for enhanced penetration and reduced irritation, paired with Black Rice (Oryza Sativa) Extract and five traditional Korean herbal root extracts to accelerate cell turnover, firm skin, and deliver a visibly renewed, luminous complexion.

✦ Hero Ingredients

• Retinal (Retinaldehyde) — Liposome Encapsulated — One step closer to retinoic acid than retinol, Retinal converts faster in the skin for accelerated cell turnover, visibly reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture; liposome encapsulation enhances delivery and minimises irritation for a more tolerable high-concentration formula.
• Oryza Sativa (Black Rice) Extract + Cholesterol + Brassica Campestris Sterols + Phytosteryl/Behenyl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate — A barrier-reinforcing lipid and antioxidant complex; Black Rice is rich in anthocyanins and gamma-oryzanol that brighten, protect against oxidative stress, and support skin renewal, while the sterol complex replenishes the skin’s lipid matrix to prevent retinal-induced dryness and barrier disruption.
• 5 Korean Herbal Root Complex — Arctium Lappa (Burdock) + Cnidium Officinale + Dioscorea Japonica (Wild Yam) + Paeonia Suffruticosa (Peony) + Rehmannia Chinensis — Five traditional Korean medicinal roots with centuries of use in skin brightening, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ageing applications — collectively soothing retinal sensitivity, evening skin tone, and supporting long-term skin health.

✦ What It Does

• Accelerates cell turnover for smoother, more refined skin texture
• Visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of ageing
• Brightens uneven skin tone and fades dark spots
• Firms and improves skin elasticity with continued use
• Liposome delivery minimises irritation at high concentration

✦ How To Use

1. Use in your evening routine only — Retinal increases photosensitivity.
2. After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount and gently press into face and neck.
3. If new to Retinal, begin 2–3 nights per week and gradually increase frequency as skin adjusts.
4. Follow with moisturiser.
5. Always apply SPF 50+ the following morning.

⚠️ Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Patch test before first use.
