SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream: Retinal Liposome 4% + Fermented Bean retinal eye contour cream

👁️ Targeted retinal eye contour care with fermented ingredients

K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream: Retinal Liposome 4% + Fermented Bean is the brand’s bestseller retinal line’s targeted eye contour care product. The manufacturer positions it for the care of wrinkles, pigmentation, uneven texture, and signs of ageing, especially for more mature skin.

The Retinal Liposome 4% in the name refers to the liposomal retinal complex, not 4% pure retinal. The formula contains retinal alongside niacinamide, fermented ginseng, rice and soybean ingredients, bakuchiol, vitamin C and E derivatives, hyaluronic acid, and peptides.

✨ What does it do?

• Specifically cares for the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Helps the eye contour look smoother and firmer.
• Supports a more even tone with niacinamide.
• Complements the anti-ageing formula with fermented plant ingredients and antioxidants.
• Supports hydration of the eye contour with hyaluronic acid and emollients.

🧬 Key active ingredients

Retinal Liposome 4%

The retinal complex is the central element of the formula’s anti-ageing focus. Retinal is one conversion step closer to retinoic acid than retinol, so gradual introduction is required even on the more sensitive skin around the eyes.

Fermented soybean, rice and ginseng

The formula includes Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment and Lactobacillus/Panax Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate; these provide skin conditioning and antioxidant support.

Niacinamide + adenosine

Niacinamide plays a role in supporting tone and barrier, while adenosine supports wrinkle care focus.

Bakuchiol + peptides

Bakuchiol and three peptides complement the complex anti-ageing formula.

Sodium Hyaluronate + Vitamin E

Hydrating and antioxidant support for the thin, easily dehydrated skin around the eyes.

🎯 Who is it recommended for?

For fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone and loss of elasticity, especially if you are looking for targeted retinal eye contour care.

🌙 Usage and gradual introduction

Gently tap a very small amount onto the bone around the eyes, avoiding the eyes and directly on the lash line. As a retinoid beginner, start using it 2–3 evenings per week, then increase frequency according to tolerance. Use sunscreen during the day.

💗 Why do we love it?

Because it is not simply a retinal eye cream: it builds a complete eye contour care formula around fermented Korean ingredients, niacinamide, bakuchiol, peptides and hydrating components.

❓ Q&A

Does the 4% mean 4% pure retinal?

No. The product name indicates Retinal Liposome 4%, meaning the manufacturer’s liposomal retinal complex.

Can it be used every evening?

On accustomed skin, yes, but it is advisable to start with less frequent use as the eye contour is particularly sensitive.

Can I use it on the whole face?

The product is developed for the eye contour; for the whole face, the SEOUL 1988 retinal serum or cream is more practical.

Is sunscreen necessary?

Yes. Consistent, high sun protection is recommended during the day when using a retinoid routine.
