K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Cream is a daily facial moisturizer developed for those concerned with fine lines and uneven skin texture. This 50 ml Korean skincare formula combines 1% retinal, a vitamin A derivative known for its efficacy in supporting skin renewal, with a liposomal delivery system designed to improve ingredient stability and gradual release. The inclusion of fermented rice extract complements the formula by providing additional nourishment and moisture retention.

Retinal is recognized for its role in accelerating cellular turnover and promoting smoother, more refined skin surface over consistent use. The liposomal encapsulation helps mitigate potential irritation often associated with retinoids, making this cream suitable for regular application as part of an evening skincare routine. The fermented rice extract, a traditional Korean skincare ingredient, offers antioxidants and hydration, further supporting the skin barrier.

This product is intended for individuals seeking a straightforward approach to daily fine line care and texture improvement without aggressive formulations. It is particularly suited for normal, combination, and dry skin types, though those with very sensitive skin may benefit from patch testing before full use. The creamy texture absorbs without excessive greasiness, allowing for comfortable layering under other skincare products or sunscreen during the day when retinal is used at night.

The 1.69 fl oz (50 ml) size provides a practical supply for a regular routine. Pricing is positioned as accessible compared to many clinical retinoid alternatives. As with any retinal product, gradual introduction – such as using a few times per week initially – is recommended to allow skin adaptation. Consistent application combined with sun protection yields visible gradual improvements in fine lines and overall skin smoothness.
