KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Eye Cream 30ml – Korean Retinal Anti-Ageing Eye Cream
£15.99
Retinal Eye Cream for Fine Lines & Firmness
Firm. Smooth. Brighten.
A nourishing Korean evening eye cream with a 4% retinal liposome complex, fermented bean extract, niacinamide, adenosine and peptides for smoother, fresher-looking under-eyes. Sodium hyaluronate, macadamia seed oil and barrier-supporting ingredients complement retinal care with moisture and comfort.
Contains retinal. Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Patch test and start 2–3 evenings per week, increasing only if tolerated. Avoid eyes, lash lines, broken or irritated skin, and do not layer other retinoids or strong exfoliating acids around the eye area. Wear SPF during the day.
Concentration note: 4% refers to the retinal liposome complex, not 4% pure retinal.
Who it’s for: Dry, dull, tired-looking eye areas with fine-line or elasticity concerns.
Smoother-looking fine lines
Retinal, adenosine, bakuchiol and peptides support care for the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture, while hydration softens dryness creases.
Firmer-looking eye-area skin
Retinal and peptide care support smoother, firmer-looking skin, complemented by fermented bean extract and conditioning emollients.
Fresh under-eye radiance
Niacinamide, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, ginseng ferment and rice ferment support care for dullness and a more refreshed-looking eye area.
Soft, comfortable moisture
Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, macadamia seed oil, cholesterol and hydrogenated lecithin help keep skin soft and moisturised.
Texture
A smooth, nourishing eye cream that spreads easily and absorbs comfortably, leaving skin moisturised without a heavy, greasy finish.
How to use
- Use in the evening after serum and before moisturiser.
- Apply a small amount to dry skin around the under-eye orbital area and outer corners.
- Gently tap with your ring finger, keeping away from lash lines and direct eye contact.
- Start 2–3 evenings per week and increase only if comfortable.
- Wear SPF during the day.
Do not use on broken, irritated or freshly exfoliated skin. Avoid layering other retinoids or strong acids around the eyes. Stop if irritation develops. Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Who it’s for
Dry, dull, tired-looking or mature eye-area skin with fine-line, texture and elasticity concerns.
Sensitive skin should patch test and introduce slowly. Moisturising ingredients do not eliminate the potential for retinal-related irritation.
Why choose KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Eye Cream
Choose this cream for an evening eye-care step combining retinal with hydration and conditioning care. Niacinamide, peptides and nourishing emollients complement its smoothing focus without promising to correct every cause of under-eye darkness.

Adenosine: Helps improve the appearance of fine lines.
Sodium Hyaluronate: Attracts moisture for hydrated, plumper-looking skin.

FAQ
Does it contain 4% pure retinal?
No. The listing describes a 4% retinal liposome complex; this does not state the pure-retinal percentage.

Yes. Retinal, adenosine and conditioning care support smoother-looking skin, with hydration helping soften dryness creases.
Can I use it daily?
Start 2–3 evenings per week and increase only if tolerated.
Can sensitive eye-area skin use it?
Patch test and introduce slowly. Avoid lash lines and direct eye contact; discontinue if irritation occurs.
Can I use it with retinol or other retinoids?
Do not layer other retinoids on the same eye-area skin.
Can I use it with exfoliating acids?
Keep strong exfoliating acids out of the same eye-area routine.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Avoid this retinal-containing product during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Ask your healthcare professional about suitable alternatives.
Does it help dark circles?
It supports a fresher-looking appearance, but does not promise to correct genetic, structural or other causes of dark circles.
When should I apply it?
Use in the evening. Wear SPF during the day.
Who is it best for?
Dry, dull or fine-line-prone eye areas wanting gradual evening retinal care with moisture support.
