How the Product Works — Step by Step

Day 1–3

Initial Absorption

The serum begins by delivering Retinal Liposome 2% deep into your skin layers. This boosts cell turnover and preps your skin for renewal—without irritation.

Day 4–7

Hydration & Repair Begins

Niacinamide and Black Ginseng start to work by calming inflammation, repairing damaged skin barriers, and deeply moisturizing dry areas.

Week 2

Skin Brightening

You’ll notice a more even skin tone and a visible reduction in dark spots, thanks to niacinamide’s brightening power and ginseng’s antioxidant effects.

Week 3–4

Firming & Anti-Aging

Fine lines and early wrinkles begin to smooth out as retinal stimulates collagen production, leaving your skin firmer, tighter, and more youthful.

Questions? We've Got You Covered

Yes. Both our serum and eye cream are formulated without fragrance, alcohol, or harsh actives. We use encapsulated retinal and skin-soothing ingredients to deliver results without irritation

No. Our retinal is micro-encapsulated to release slowly into the skin, reducing the risk of dryness or peeling. It’s powerful but designed to be gentle.

Most users notice smoother texture and brighter skin within 7–14 days. Full results — like reduced fine lines and improved firmness — typically appear within 4–6 weeks with consistent use.

Yes. The serum and eye cream are designed to work well with hydrating toners, moisturizers, and SPF. Avoid layering with strong acids or other retinoids.
