The KSECRET Seoul 1988 Eye Cream – Retinal Liposome 4% is a high-potency eye treatment created for those already comfortable using retinoids and seeking visible refinement around the eyes.

The formula uses liposome-encapsulated retinal to help regulate delivery, supporting smoother texture and improved firmness while reducing the risk of sudden irritation. Because the eye area is thinner and more reactive, this product is designed to work best when introduced slowly, intentionally, and with proper buffering.

This is not an everyday, beginner eye cream.
It’s a targeted upgrade for stable, retinoid-tolerant skin.

WHO IT’S FOR

✔ Experienced retinoid users
✔ Fine lines or texture concerns around the eyes
✔ Firmness loss with stable, tolerant skin

Not suitable for:
✘ Retinoid beginners
✘ Sensitive or reactive eye areas
✘ Pregnancy or breastfeeding

⚠️ Patch test behind the ear before first use.


TEXTURE & FEEL

  • Lightweight cream

  • Absorbs quickly

  • No heavy residue

  • Designed for precise, minimal application

When to Use

Evening only
Best introduced slowly, especially if you’re new to retinal-based eye products
May not be suitable for very sensitive or reactive eye areas
Avoid using alongside other retinoids or strong exfoliating acids in the same routine, especially while your skin is adjusting

How to Apply

Cleanse and complete your evening routine up to moisturiser.

Apply a thin layer of moisturiser around the orbital bone first (buffer step).

After 2–3 minutes, apply a rice-grain amount per eye of the retinal eye cream.

Gently tap around the orbital bone area only — avoid the lash line and inner corners.

Beginner Schedule

Weeks 1–2: 1–2 nights per week

Weeks 3–4: Every other night only if the eye area feels comfortable

Long-term: Many people continue using it every other night long term — consistency matters more than intensity

Avoid applying on damp skin
Do not “catch up” if you miss a night
Avoid layering with other retinoids around the eye area

Pro Tips

More is not better with retinal — precision usually works best.

If dryness, stinging, or irritation appears, pause use and keep the routine simple with moisturiser and SPF until the skin feels comfortable again.

Puffiness and dehydration lines may appear improved earlier on, while firmness and smoother-looking texture usually take longer.

Retinal around the eyes tends to work best when the skin barrier feels calm and supported rather than over-treated.

Daily SPF is strongly recommended when using retinal products.
