SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream : Retinal Liposome 4% + Fermented Bean
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
K-Secret SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream with retinal liposome 4% is a potent retinoid product that chemistry PhD Lab Muffin Beauty Science says feels gentler than other retinols due to slow-release stabilization. It has passed an irritation test and is best for experienced retinoid users or those with non-sensitive skin. The nozzle allows controlled dispensing, reducing the risk of irritation.
