Description
Description
This concentrated serum targets visible aging signals by encouraging cell turnover and collagen support, helping to smooth texture and brighten tone over time. Key actives include retinol for renewals, retinal for enhanced efficacy, and bakuchiol as a gentle retinoid-like alternative. Combined with niacinamide for a more even complexion, panthenol for moisture, and antioxidants like tocopheryl acetate, the formula works to fortify the skin’s barrier while delivering anti-aging benefits. A diverse mix of plant extracts and peptides further supports resilience, hydration, and elasticity, making it suitable for those who want effective retinoid care without heavy fragrances or harsh additives. This is a night-time serum designed to fit into a consistent skincare routine with ample moisturizing care.
How to use
How to use
Start gradually to assess tolerance. Use 1-2 weeks as an initial period, applying a small amount once daily in the evening. For ultra-sensitive skin, consider using every other day. After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount to the face, focusing on areas with visible aging signs. Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration. If your skin adapts well after about 3 weeks and there is no discomfort, you can increase how often you use it. Avoid layering with other potent actives at the same time until you know how your skin responds.

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