K-Secret Seoul 1988 Advanced Shot Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice

A high-concentration retinal liposome shot for fine lines, rough texture and uneven-looking tone, made for the last step of your night routine.

The Advanced Shot is the most intensive formula in the SEOUL 1988 retinal line. Retinal is encapsulated in micro-liposomes to help with absorption and stability, and hydrolyzed sponge is included to help the formula absorb.

Black rice extract brings antioxidant support, panthenol soothes and moisturizes, and niacinamide helps even the look of skin tone and reinforce the moisture barrier. The result is smoother-looking, clearer-looking skin over time.

The cream is naturally yellow because of the retinal itself; no artificial colorants are added. Start slowly, twice a week for the first one to two weeks, and always follow daytime use with sunscreen.
