SEOUL 1988 Serum: Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng — Reddit Reviews
by KSECRET
Updated October 29, 2026
2% liposomal retinal starter serum; gentle enough for sensitive skin, sometimes too mild.
What the community says
A 2% liposomal retinal serum with niacinamide, Panax ginseng root extract, and peptides, built for beginners easing into retinal without peeling. It suits sensitive or rosacea-prone users, though underwhelming results and occasional retinoid burn make consistency and cautious dosing essential.
