Description

A beginner-friendly retinol serum with a light gel texture that absorbs quickly without stickiness. Retinol (0.1%, brand-stated) works alongside Bakuchiol to help smooth the look of fine lines and refine the look of skin texture.

To keep the experience comfortable, the formula pairs these with Panthenol, Glycerin, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil and Betula Alba Juice, which help keep skin moisturized while it gets used to retinol. The low strength and gel texture make it an easy way to bring retinol into an evening routine, whether you are trying it for the first time or want a gentler option for fine lines, uneven texture and a loss of firmness. Start slowly, a few nights a week, and let your skin set the pace before using it more often.

Benefits
  • Helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Supports firmer, more elastic-looking skin
  • Retinol and Bakuchiol for smoother-looking texture
  • Panthenol and Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil help keep skin comfortable
  • Light gel texture absorbs fast with no sticky finish
How to Use

Use in the evening after cleansing and toning. Apply a small amount evenly over the face, avoiding the eye contour and lips, and pat lightly until absorbed.

Follow with moisturizer. Use sunscreen every morning while you are using retinol.

Seoulistic Tip
  • Start 2–3 nights a week and build up as your skin adjusts. Mild dryness or flaking at first is common.
  • Skip exfoliating acids on the same night to keep irritation down.
