This serum has become one of my favorites to start 2026 by incorporating retinal into my skincare routine.
The Seoul 1988 Retinal Serum features encapsulated retinal, which helps improve skin texture, the appearance of fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone, while black ginseng provides antioxidant benefits, helping to enhance firmness and radiance.
Its lightweight gel-serum texture absorbs quickly and does not leave a sticky feeling, making it ideal for a nighttime routine, even for sensitive skin. In addition, thanks to ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides, it helps keep the skin balanced and strengthens the skin barrier.
🕒  With just two applications per week, visible improvements can be noticed in approximately 10 days of use.

Ultimate Calming Solution Routine by Pyunkang Yul

Honestly, I didn’t find any major downsides. If you prefer thick, milky toners, this one might feel too lightweight, but for sensitive or acne-prone skin, it’s perfect.

I loved how soothing and refreshing this toner feels on my skin. It instantly calms redness and irritation, making my skin feel comfortable and balanced. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel sticky. Thanks to ingredients like Centella Asiatica, Tea Tree Extract, hyaluronic acid and ceramides, it deeply hydrates while strengthening the skin barrier. After continuous use, my skin looked smoother, healthier and more hydrated.

The bottle is a bit small if you use it daily, but a little goes a long way. Other than that, I had no issues.

This ampoule feels super calming and nourishing without being heavy. It absorbs beautifully and leaves my skin hydrated and plump. The combination of Centella Asiatica, Tea Tree Extract, ceramides and multiple types of hyaluronic acid really helps soothe irritation and reinforce the skin barrier. After a few days, my skin felt more balanced, less reactive and smoother.

If you have very dry skin, you might need an extra layer for more moisture, especially at night. Otherwise, it’s great.

Ingredients like Cica, Tea Tree, ceramides and hyaluronic acid help strengthen the barrier and reduce redness. Perfect for both day and night use.

The tingling sensation is noticeable due to the plumping ingredients, but it is totally bearable and fades after a few minutes. People with very sensitive lips might feel it a bit more

The formula feels comfortable on the lips and helps hydrate them, making them look healthier and juicier. I also noticed that with continuous use, my lips looked more voluminous and soft. Perfect for everyday use or as a topper over lipstick.

The only downside is the slight tingling sensation due to the micro-spicule technology. However, it is very mild and totally bearable, even for sensitive scalps. It doesn’t cause discomfort and fades quickly. Other than that, I didn’t experience any major issues.

What I loved the most is how lightweight and fast-absorbing this ampoule is. It doesn’t leave any greasy residue and instantly makes my hair feel softer and more manageable.
