K-Secret Seoul 1988 Advanced Shot: Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice 15ml

K-Secret Seoul 1988 Advanced Shot: Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice is an intensive retinal serum created for skin showing signs of texture buildup, dullness, enlarged pores, and fine lines. The formula uses liposome-encapsulated retinal to help improve delivery while reducing the harshness that stronger vitamin A products can sometimes cause. The lightweight creamy texture absorbs quickly and layers well into evening routines without feeling sticky or overly rich.

What makes K-Secret Seoul 1988 Advanced Shot: Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice stand out is the combination of advanced retinal care with nourishing fermented ingredients. Retinal works to support smoother, firmer-looking skin, while black rice extract, niacinamide, and soothing botanicals help balance hydration and barrier comfort. Honestly, it feels more refined than many strong retinoid treatments that leave skin overly dry. It pairs especially well with Jumiso Urea 5 Intensive Moisture Cream for extra barrier support during retinoid use.

Key Ingredients

Here’s what powers the K-Secret Seoul 1988 Advanced Shot: Retinal Liposome 12% + Black Rice:

Retinal Liposome

Retinal is a vitamin A derivative known for helping improve wrinkles, uneven texture, and dullness. The liposome delivery system helps retinal absorb more evenly while minimizing the dryness and irritation often linked with strong retinoid products.

Black Rice Extract

Fermented black rice extract is rich in antioxidants that help support healthier-looking skin and defend against visible signs of aging. It also helps maintain hydration and improve overall skin softness.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Niacinamide helps brighten dull-looking skin, balance oil production, and support the skin barrier. It also works well alongside retinal for smoother and more even-looking skin tone.

Adenosine

Adenosine is commonly used in Korean anti-aging skincare for its skin-smoothing and firming benefits. It helps soften the appearance of fine lines over time.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Panthenol helps reduce dryness and supports barrier recovery, which is especially important when using active ingredients like retinal.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide NP helps strengthen the moisture barrier and reduce transepidermal water loss. It helps skin feel more comfortable during retinoid use.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Vitamin E provides antioxidant support while helping skin feel softer and less dry. It works well with retinal-based routines focused on barrier care.
