Benefits
A potent night serum that delivers stabilized retinal and nourishing black rice to visibly smooth texture, boost radiance, and support youthful-looking skin.
Description
The SEOUL 1988 Advanced Shot is a high-performance, intensive overnight treatment serum designed for advanced anti-aging and skin renewal. It features a powerful concentration of 12% Liposomal Retinal (Retinaldehyde), a derivative of Vitamin A that is more potent and works faster than traditional Retinol, yet is often gentler due to its encapsulated form. This active ingredient is paired with Black Rice Extract, a nutrient-rich antioxidant, to soothe and enhance the formula's effectiveness. Encapsulation technology (Liposome) ensures the stability of the sensitive Retinal and maximizes its delivery deep into the skin, making this an excellent choice for experienced users of Vitamin A.
What skin concerns does it target?
This advanced serum is formulated to address significant signs of aging and photo-damage:
- Deep Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Retinaldehyde is clinically proven to accelerate cell turnover and boost collagen production, visibly reducing the depth and severity of wrinkles and creases.
- Loss of Firmness and Elasticity: The powerful stimulation of collagen and elastin helps to significantly improve the skin's overall firmness, density, and youthful elasticity.
- Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage: It accelerates the shedding of pigmented surface cells and interferes with melanin production, effectively fading dark spots, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.
- Acne and Textural Irregularities: By increasing cell turnover, it helps to clear pores, prevent the formation of breakouts, and smooth out rough or irregular skin texture.
- Oxidative Stress: The inclusion of Black Rice Extract provides high levels of antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage, supporting the rejuvenating process.
Why is this the best choice for you?
- Advanced Retinoid Power: It uses Retinaldehyde (Retinal), which is the direct precursor to Retinoic Acid (the active form), meaning it is highly effective and requires only one conversion step, making it up to 20 times more potent than Retinol.
- Liposomal Stability and Delivery: The 12% Retinal is encapsulated in Liposomes, which shields the delicate molecule from light and air, ensuring its maximum potency and providing a slow-release mechanism that minimizes the typical irritation associated with high-strength retinoids.
- Nourishing and Soothing Base: The combination with Black Rice Extract (a source of amino acids and antioxidants) and potentially other soothing agents helps to mitigate potential irritation while reinforcing the skin barrier during the renewal process.
- Intensive Anti-Aging Treatment: This serum is formulated for users seeking significant, visible improvement in the most noticeable signs of aging and photo-damage, making it a step up from typical Retinol formulas.
- Small, Targeted Volume: The 15ml size is practical for potent actives, ensuring the product maintains maximum freshness throughout its usage period and is typically used only at night.
