Product overview
Beauty Of Joseon Ginseng Retinal Revive Eye Serum 30ml is an eye serum formulated with Retinal (retinaldehyde) and Ginseng Root Extract.
Ingredient note: this product is confirmed, via two independent sources, to genuinely use Retinal (retinaldehyde) -- not a typo or alternate spelling of Retinol. Retinal is a distinct, more potent Vitamin A derivative that converts to retinoic acid in fewer steps than Retinol. Ginseng Root Extract is confirmed at a high position in the ingredient list (second listed ingredient), consistent with the brand's claim of a high concentration.

How to Use
Apply a small amount to the eye area in the PM routine, patting gently rather than rubbing. Avoid combining with AHA/BHA/PHA exfoliants in the same routine to reduce irritation risk. Daytime sunscreen use is important when using Retinal-class ingredients.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as Retinal can degrade with light and heat exposure. For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Patch test before first use. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation develops. Keep out of reach of children.
