Step by step instruction: K-Secret Seoul 1988 Essence Retinal Liposome 2%+ Black Ginseng 30ml

  • How to use K-Secret Seoul 1988 Essence Retinal Liposome 2%+ Black Ginseng 30ml

    1. Begin with a freshly cleansed and toned complexion. For optimal absorption, ensure your skin is clean and prepped with your favourite toner. This creates the perfect canvas for this potent essence.
    2. Dispense a controlled amount. Press the pump once to dispense a pea-sized amount of the essence onto your fingertips. This is sufficient to cover the entire face; a little goes a long way.
    3. Apply during your evening routine. As this formula contains Retinal, it is best used at night. Dot the essence evenly across your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
    4. Gently pat and press for absorption. Spread the essence across your skin in an outward motion. Gently pat and press it into your skin with your palms, allowing the warmth of your hands to aid absorption. Avoid any harsh rubbing.
    5. Allow a moment to settle. Wait for 1-2 minutes for the essence to fully penetrate the skin before proceeding to the next step in your routine.
    6. Follow with a nourishing moisturiser. Lock in the benefits of the essence and provide your skin with adequate hydration by applying your favourite night cream. This also helps to buffer the effects of the Retinal.
    7. Start slowly and build up tolerance. If you are new to Retinal, introduce this essence into your routine gradually. Begin by using it 2-3 times per week for the first two weeks, and if your skin responds well, you can increase the frequency to nightly use.
    8. Always use sunscreen during the day. Retinoids can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. It is crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning to protect your skin and the results of your nighttime routine.

Routine integration with K-Secret Seoul 1988 Essence Retinal Liposome 2%+ Black Ginseng 30ml

  • Integrating K-Secret Seoul 1988 Essence Retinal Liposome 2%+ Black Ginseng 30ml into Your Skincare Flow

    • As an evening treatment: This essence is specifically designed for your nighttime skincare ritual. Apply it after cleansing and toning.
    • Serum Step: It should be applied before heavier creams or oils. The typical Korean skincare routine order would be: Cleanser -> Toner -> K-Secret Seoul 1988 Essence -> Eye Cream -> Moisturiser.
    • Mindful Pairing: Avoid using other strong active ingredients, such as high-concentration vitamin C, AHAs, or BHAs, in the same routine to prevent potential irritation. You can alternate their use on different nights.
    • Neck and Décolletage: Extend the application to your neck and chest area, as these areas also show signs of ageing. Use the same gentle, upward strokes.

    Most common questions about K-Secret Seoul 1988 Essence Retinal Liposome 2%+ Black Ginseng 30ml

    What is the difference between Retinal and Retinol?
    Retinal (short for Retinaldehyde) is a more potent form of Vitamin A than Retinol. It works faster because it only requires one conversion step to become Retinoic Acid, the form of Vitamin A that your skin cells can directly use. This means you can see anti-ageing results more quickly. The liposome technology in this essence encapsulates the Retinal, allowing for a more stable and gentle delivery into the skin, minimising potential irritation.

    I have never used a retinoid before. Is this product suitable for me?
    Yes, this essence can be a great starting point for retinoid beginners. The 2% Retinal Liposome formulation is potent yet designed for minimal irritation. We strongly recommend starting slowly by using it only 2-3 nights a week and gradually increasing the frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always follow up with a good moisturiser.

    What are the specific benefits of Black Ginseng for my skin?
    Black Ginseng is a specially processed form of ginseng that enhances its powerful properties. It is a rich source of antioxidants, which help protect your skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage that can accelerate ageing. It also energises the skin, helps to improve blood circulation for a brighter, more radiant complexion, and supports collagen production to improve skin elasticity and firmness.

    Can I use this essence around my eyes?
    While this essence is gentle, the skin around the eyes is exceptionally delicate. We recommend using a dedicated eye cream, such as the K-Secret Seoul 1988 Eye Cream with 4% Retinal Liposome, for the eye area.

    Why is the essence yellow?
    The natural yellow tint of the essence comes from the active ingredient, Retinal. This is completely normal and does not stain the skin. The colour is an indicator of the presence of this powerful ingredient in the formula.
