K-Secret SEOUL 1988 Serum : Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng
Skin-smoothing serum for wrinkles, texture, and radiance
K-Secret SEOUL 1988 Serum blends advanced skin care science with traditional herbal ingredients to support visibly smoother, firmer skin.
Powered by 2% Retinal Liposome, this serum helps refine texture, diminish the look of fine lines, and target uneven tone. Retinal, a potent Vitamin A derivative, is encapsulated in liposomes to enhance skin absorption while minimizing irritation.
With 58% Black Ginseng Extract, the formula provides antioxidant support that helps defend against environmental stress and early signs of aging. Known for its revitalizing properties, black ginseng contributes to a more resilient, luminous complexion.
Ideal for daily use on mature or dull skin, this silky-textured serum absorbs quickly without leaving residue. It also helps manage blemish-prone areas by balancing oil production and minimizing pore buildup.
Dermatologically tested and free from common irritants—including alcohols, fragrance, parabens, silicones, sulfates, and artificial colorants—this gentle formula is suitable for all skin types, especially those seeking targeted wrinkle care and enhanced elasticity.
Size: 30 ml / 1.01 fl oz
