Description

This 20ml oil delivers 0.5% retinol in a lightweight carrier blend, aiming to smooth wrinkles and support firmness over time. In a clinical study with 20 subjects, users saw measurable improvements in several areas after four weeks and notable pore enhancement after two weeks. The product emphasizes a careful progression plan to help skin build tolerance, reducing the likelihood of irritation while still delivering retinol’s regenerating benefits. Core ingredients include Squalane, Soybean Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, and antioxidant components to support skin health during use.

How to use

Start small and slow. During evening skincare, apply 1–2 drops to the back of your hand and tap onto the areas you want to treat, using from the inside out motion to aid absorption. Follow the adaption schedule below to minimize irritation and maximize results:

Week 1–2: Frequency: 2–3 times per week at night. How to use: After cleansing, at the moisturizer step, apply 1–2 drops to areas of concern (e.g., under eyes, around the mouth, forehead, and neck).
Week 3 onward: Frequency: May apply every other night. How to use: After cleansing, at the moisturizer step, may spread over the entire face as tolerated.
Adaptation guidance: The tolerance-building phase may be shortened or extended based on individual skin needs. Maintain the phase until you experience no discomfort, then gradually increase frequency and treated areas as appropriate.

Ingredients

Squalane: Lightweight emollient that helps soften and seal in moisture.
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil: Rich in nourishing lipids to support skin conditioning.

Retinol (0.5%): Active retinoid that promotes cell turnover and collagen support.

Sunscreen & SPF Products in Canada

Unfortunately due to regulations by Health Canada we are unable to offer any Korean sunscreen or SPF products to Canadian customers.

We are working with Health Canada to obtain Federal approval for these items, but it's a lengthy process.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will let you know as soon as this changes!

Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?

Korean beauty brands update their formulas and packaging regularly - sometimes several times a year - and these changes often happen faster than we can update every listing. We do our best to keep product pages current, but what you receive may have a newer formulation or updated packaging. The core product and its function remain the same. If you'd like to verify what's currently in stock before ordering, reach out to us at info@kbeauti.ca and we'll confirm for you.
