K SECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Glow and Barrier Ritual with Retinal, Black Ginseng, Snail Mucin, Rice, Ceramide and Daily Sun Protection

K SECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Glow and Barrier Ritual combines K-Secret Seoul 1988 Serum Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng 30ml, K-Secret Seoul 1988 Essence Snail Mucin 97% + Rice 100ml and K-Secret Seoul 1988 Sun Pine Tree + Ceramide 50ml to create a targeted Korean skincare routine for smoother, brighter, hydrated and healthier-looking skin.

This three-product routine combines the renewing benefits of Retinal Liposome and Black Ginseng, the deeply hydrating and skin-conditioning benefits of Snail Mucin and Rice, and daily UV protection supported by Pine Tree and Ceramide. Used together, the products target fine lines, uneven texture, dullness and dehydration while helping support the skin barrier and protect the complexion against daily sun exposure.

Targets visible signs of ageing – Retinal works alongside Black Ginseng to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin texture.

Hydrates and supports skin recovery – Snail Mucin essence provides intensive hydration while helping skin feel smoother, softer and more comfortable.

Supports the skin barrier – Ceramide-focused daily care helps reinforce the skin's moisture barrier and reduce the feeling of dryness.

Brightens dull-looking skin – Rice, Niacinamide and complementary ingredients support a fresher, more even and radiant-looking complexion.

Protects during the day – Daily SPF 50+ sunscreen is particularly important when retinal is part of an evening skincare routine.

What Is It?

K SECRET SEOUL 1988 Retinal Glow and Barrier Ritual is a Korean skincare routine designed around three essential objectives: renew, hydrate and protect.

K SECRET SEOUL 1988 Serum Retinal Liposome 2% Black Ginseng

An advanced anti-ageing serum combining Retinal Liposome 2% with Black Ginseng and complementary ingredients such as Niacinamide, Bakuchiol, Adenosine and peptides.

It targets visible signs of ageing, helping improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, dullness and loss of firmness.

K SECRET SEOUL 1988 Essence Snail Mucin 97% Rice

A highly concentrated hydrating essence built around Snail Mucin and Rice.

It provides an important hydration and skin-conditioning step, helping improve softness, smoothness and the appearance of dehydrated or stressed-looking skin.

Its lightweight essence texture makes it easy to layer before treatment serums and moisturisers.

K SECRET SEOUL 1988 Sun Pine Tree + Ceramide SPF 50+

The essential daytime step of the routine, combining broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++ sun protection with ingredients selected to support hydration and the skin barrier.

Pine Tree and Ceramide complement the protective formula, making it particularly useful as the final morning step when retinal is being used during the evening.

Together, the three products create a balanced routine focused not only on correcting visible signs of ageing but also on hydration, barrier support and prevention.
