Full Description of the Product

Target deep structural wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and stubborn hyperpigmentation with the high-potency Hanbang performance of K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Advanced Shot : Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice (30ml). Specially engineered for experienced retinoid users, mature skin, or complexions requiring intensive anti-aging therapy without severe irritation, this advanced 12% liposomal retinal black rice serum rejuvenates skin vitality. By pairing high-dose liposome-encapsulated Retinal with antioxidant-dense Black Rice extract, Bakuchiol, and Peptides in a hydrating lotion-cream base, it glides across facial contours effortlessly.

This high-performance Korean intensive serum works dynamically to accelerate cellular turnover, smooth deep expression lines, and improve overall skin density. Designed for evening skincare routines, the velvety emulsion absorbs deeply into the stratum corneum, leaving your face feeling firm, plump, deeply hydrated, smooth, and radiantly revitalized without a tacky or heavy residue.

How It Works & Key Benefits

This product targets deep wrinkles, loss of structural elasticity, skin sagging, uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, and rough skin texture. By utilizing a 12% Retinal Liposome complex (delivering 0.12% pure Retinal encapsulated in phospholipid spheres), it delivers an advanced retinoid dose directly to deeper skin layers for gradual, low-irritation release. Retinal converts to active Retinoic Acid in just 1 step, boosting collagen production 11 times faster than retinol. Simultaneously, fermented Black Rice Extract supplies concentrated anthocyanin antioxidants to defend the extracellular matrix from collagen breakdown.

Core Active Ingredients & What They Do

• 12% Retinal Liposome (0.12% Pure Retinal): High-potency retinoid active encapsulated in liposomal lipids that speeds up skin cell renewal, fills deep wrinkles, and boosts collagen synthesis.

• Black Rice Extract (Oryza Sativa): Nutrient-rich antioxidant botanical high in anthocyanins that protects skin cells against oxidative stress and restores vitality.

• Bakuchiol & 5-Peptide Complex: Plant-derived retinol alternative and amino acid chains that work synergistically with Retinal to firm sagging tissue and improve structural density.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Brightening active that inhibits melanin transfer, evens out post-inflammatory dark marks, and refines pore texture.

• Ceramide NP, Panthenol & Hyaluronic Acid: Barrier-repairing complex that locks in continuous moisture and buffers retinoid-induced dryness, redness, or flaking.

Formula Feel, Absorption & Finish

The smooth, vibrant yellow lotion-cream dispenses easily via the precision nozzle tube. As it is smoothed over facial skin, the serum spreads effortlessly and absorbs within seconds. It sets into a weightless, non-sticky, hydrated finish that preps skin seamlessly for a night cream.

Skin Barrier & Surface Finish

Formulated without artificial fragrances, essential oils, or drying alcohols, the serum respects delicate skin barrier health and pH balance. Once set, it leaves skin feeling visibly plumped, firm, hydrated, and calm with zero greasy weight.

Deep wrinkles, fine lines, loss of skin firmness, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture, dullness, and compromised skin barrier.

Who Should Avoid It

• Retinoid Beginners: Formulated with a potent 0.12% active Retinal dose; beginners should start with lower concentrations (such as the Seoul 1988 2% Retinal Liposome) before stepping up to this formula.

• Pregnancy / Nursing: Contains Vitamin A derivatives (Retinal); pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid retinoids or consult their physician before use.

• Concurrent Strong Acids: Avoid applying at the same time as high-strength AHA/BHA/PHA exfoliants or pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) to prevent barrier disruption.
