Use the products 2-3 times per week initially, gradually increasing frequency as your skin adjusts. Store the products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keeping them tightly closed when not in use to maintain efficacy. The serum is suitable for several weeks to months of use depending on the frequency, while the eye cream lasts longer due to smaller daily application amounts. For optimal results and safety, use broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, avoid harsh exfoliants or other retinoids concurrently, and build tolerance gradually for sensitive skin types.\u003c\/p\u003e **** Retinol, Retinal, Bakuchiol, Truecica™, Panthenol, Elastic-Liposome technology, Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid ***** Retinol - accelerates skin cell turnover and boosts collagen; Retinal - enhances anti-aging and skin rejuvenation; Bakuchiol - plant-based anti-aging alternative with low irritation; Niacinamide - brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation and supports barrier; Tranexamic Acid - reduces pigmentation and dark circles; Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid - hydrate and soothe skin******","brand":"SOME BY MI","offers":[{"title":"Set of 2","offer_id":48867551904063,"sku":"CH-SBM-SET-0014","price":13.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/3325\/8815\/files\/some-by-mi-set-some-by-mi-retinol-intense-trial-kit-46335065260351.png?v=1727344808"},{"product_id":"ksecret-seoul-1988-cream-retinal-liposome-1-fermented-rice","title":"KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Cream: Retinal Liposome 1% + Fermented Rice","description":"\u003cp\u003eKSECRET SEOUL 1988 Cream brings together the best of gentle skin renewal and deep moisture in one simple jar.

It works best as part of your night routine since retinal likes to work while you sleep. First, wash your face and use your toner if you have one. Then, put a small dot of serum on your fingertips - about the size of a pea is all you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGently pat the serum on your face and neck. Let it soak in for a minute, then add your night cream to lock in all the good stuff. If you're new to retinal, start slow - maybe just 2-3 times a week. Your skin will let you know when it's ready for more. And always use sun protection during the day, as retinal can make skin more sun-shy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Will Love This Serum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Serum is great for many skin types.

Even if your skin gets upset easily, you might do well with this - just start slow and see how it goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis serum is perfect if you want something that works but doesn't feel heavy or look shiny.

If new to retinal, start with 2-3 times per week and gradually increase as tolerance allows. For daytime protection, apply sunscreen every morning due to potential increased sun sensitivity with retinal. Routine integration: pair with hydrating toners, ceramide-rich moisturizers, and broad-spectrum sunscreen to maximize efficacy and reduce irritation. Storage: store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; keep the container tightly closed when not in use; avoid extreme temperatures. Longevity: a 30 ml bottle typically lasts about 1-2 months with nightly pea-sized application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**** Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Caprylic\/Capric Triglyceride, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Butylene Glycol, Methyl Gluceth-20, Polyglycery|-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sorbitan Stearate, Ammonium Acryl-oyldimethyitaurate\/VP Copolymer, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Betaine, Tocopherol, Ethylhexy|glycerin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Adenosine, Disodium EDTA, Cholesterol, Polyg-lycery-10 Oleate, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols, Phytosteryl\/Behenyl\/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Retinal, Silica, Aluminum\/ Magnesium Hydroxide Stearate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-t-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Arctium Lappa Root Extract, Cnidium Officinale Root Extract, Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Rehmannia Chinensis Root Extract, 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Bakuchiol, sh-Oligopeptide-1, sh-Oligopeptide-2, sh-Polypeptide- 1 ***** Retinal Liposome 2%, Black Ginseng Extract (58%), Bakuchiol, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, SH-Oligopeptide-1, SH-Oligopeptide-2, SH-Polypeptide-1, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)******\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KSECRET","offers":[{"title":"30ml","offer_id":54576654385537,"sku":"CH-KSC-SER-0003","price":16.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/3325\/8815\/files\/KSECRETSEOUL1988SerumRetinalLiposome2_BlackGinseng-1.png?v=1755066471"}],"url":"https:\/\/calmhavenbeauty.co.uk\/collections\/brightening-korean-skincare-retinal.oembed","provider":"Calm Haven Beauty","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
