KSECRET SEOUL 1988 has launched its Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng Serum in a 50 millilitre double set at 227 Costco locations nationwide. This move brings a Korean beauty product that combines traditional ingredients with contemporary derma technology to American consumers.
KSECRET SEOUL 1988's Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng Serum uses retinal, a more potent and faster-acting derivative than standard retinol, encased in liposome technology designed to deliver the active ingredient with reduced irritation. Black ginseng delivers antioxidant support, on the other hand. The retinal liposome combination promises quicker visible results with less discomfort.
According to KSECRET SEOUL 1988, users may see improvements in skin tone, fine lines, and texture within 14 days of use.
