K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 Advanced Shot : Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice

Accelerate cellular renewal and targeted anti-aging repair with the high-precision clinical matrix of the K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Advanced Shot Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice. Formulated specifically for fine lines, loss of elasticity, and uneven skin texture, this advanced retinaldehyde liposome serum delivers potent vitamin A activity deep into the dermal architecture without the high irritation potential of traditional retinoids. By combining encapsulated retinal with nutrient-dense fermented antioxidants, it systematically reinforces the extracellular matrix, restores bounce, and enhances skin clarity.

Liposomal Retinal & Phyto-Retinol Synergy

The formula utilizes a 12% Retinal Liposome Complex (delivering active Retinaldehyde), which requires only one conversion step into active Retinoic Acid within the skin. This makes it significantly faster-acting than classic Retinol while remaining gentle. Bakuchiol works alongside the liposomes to stimulate Type I and IV collagen gene expression through complementary pathway activation, amplifying firming and micro-wrinkle smoothing efficacy.

Fermented Antioxidant Defense & Cellular Resilience

Fermented Black Rice Extract (Oryza Sativa) supplies a concentrated surge of bioactive polyphenols and anthocyanins. This rich antioxidant screen neutralizes environmental free radicals, halts lipid peroxidation, and protects collagen fibers from enzymatic breakdown.

Barrier-Cushioning Hydro-Matrix

To balance active retinization, the treatment embeds its potent renewal actives in a nourishing matrix of Niacinamide, Panthenol, Allantoin, and Tocopherol. This combination calms inflammatory responses, fortifies intercellular lipid bilayers, and ensures sustained hydration throughout the cell turnover cycle.

Skin Type All skin types—especially mature, premature-aging, textured, or combination skin showing fine lines, loss of firmness, and persistent dullness. (Beginners to retinoids should introduce gradually).

Concerns Fine lines, dynamic expression wrinkles, loss of elasticity, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Texture A concentrated, silky emulsion with a natural pale-yellow hue that absorbs rapidly with a velvety, comfortable finish.

Usage Designed primarily for evening application after cleansing and toning. Frequency should be adjusted based on individual retinoid tolerance (e.g., 2–3 times per week initially, building to daily night use).

Compatible Routines Integrates into night routines as a targeted treatment step. Apply following a hydrating or soothing toner. Dispense a pea-sized amount across target areas or full face. Follow with a barrier-repair cream or lipid-replenishing night moisturizer. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during morning routines when using retinoids.

Who Should Avoid It

• Pregnancy / Lactation: Due to the inclusion of active Vitamin A derivatives (Retinal), use during pregnancy or nursing is not recommended.

• Co-application with Strong Exfoliating Acids: Avoid layering directly with high-concentration AHA, BHA, PHA, or L-Ascorbic Acid in the same routine to prevent severe barrier disruption.
