Description
The Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal is Beauty of Joseon’s targeted eye-area product. The 30 ml pump bottle uses retinal (retinaldehyde), a vitamin A derivative, in liposome form alongside ginseng root extract. The brand designs it to help smooth the look of the under-eye area and support the moisture barrier while keeping the texture light enough for morning and night use. It is listed as alcohol-free and fragrance-free.
Key ingredients
- Retinal liposomes – a stabilised vitamin A derivative the brand includes to smooth the look of fine lines.
- Panax ginseng root extract – a signature Beauty of Joseon ingredient for moisture.
- Barrier-supporting ingredients – listed in the full formula to keep the delicate eye area comfortable.
How to use
- Pump 1 to 2 times onto your ring finger.
- Gently pat onto the under-eye area and surrounding skin.
- Use morning and night.
- During the day, apply sunscreen on top.
Who it suits
Beauty of Joseon says it works for all skin types. People with sensitive skin should start with a small amount and build up gradually. Very dry or sensitive skin can apply it over a thin layer of gentle moisturizer to buffer it.
Good to know
Because it contains retinal, the brand advises against use during pregnancy or breastfeeding and does not recommend combining it with AHA, BHA or PHA products. Some skin may feel a slight sting at first. Patch test first: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm for a few days and stop using the product if redness, itching or stinging appears. Avoid the eye area unless the product is designed for it, and speak with a pharmacist or dermatologist if you have a known skin condition or allergy.
