How to Use Retinal

Experience your glow transformation with Seoulixir’s 2% Retinal Liposome Serum, enriched with Black Ginseng Extract to visibly smooth, brighten, and firm the skin—all while respecting your skin barrier.

When to Use

  • Use only at night—never in the morning.
  • Start with 2–3 nights a week and build up slowly.
  • Apply on clean, completely dry skin to minimize irritation.

Your Evening Routine

  1. Cleanse – Gently wash your face using a non-stripping cleanser. Pat skin dry with a soft towel.
  2. Apply Eye Cream – Dab a rice-sized amount around the eyes to protect this delicate area from irritation.
  3. Apply Seoulixir Retinal Serum – Use a pea-sized amount across the face. Avoid the eyes, lips, and corners of the nose. Let it fully absorb before the next step.
  4. Moisturize – Follow with a rich, gentle moisturizer to lock in hydration and soothe the skin.

Avoid These Mistakes

  • Skipping sunscreen the next morning — SPF is essential!
  • Using exfoliants or acids (like AHA/BHA or Vitamin C) on the same night.
  • Overusing retinal — more is not better.
  • Applying on damp skin — always wait until skin is fully dry.

Pro Tips from Seoulixir

  • Always wear SPF 30+ daily while using retinal products.
  • On "off" nights, use hydrating serums and calming masks to support your glow.
  • If irritation occurs, reduce frequency and layer a barrier cream before applying retinal.
  • Consistency matters—results improve over weeks, not overnight.
