K-SECRET - SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream: Retinal Liposome 4% + Fermented Bean
Detailed description
Detailed description
The eye contour ages faster than the rest of the face: skin is 3 times thinner, without sebaceous glands, and exposed to micro-expressions.
K-SECRET's SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream addresses this challenge with 4% retinal encapsulated in liposomes, a form that is more active and better tolerated than retinol, stimulating cell renewal without irritating this delicate area. Ferments of soy, rice, and ginseng boost radiance and strengthen the skin barrier.
Result: eyes appear more rested, fine lines are reduced, and dark circles are lightened. Suitable for all skin types from age 25, including skin sensitive to retinoids.
What sets it apart: liposomal technology ensures optimal penetration without the irritation effects typically associated with high-concentration retinal formulas.
How to use
How to use
How to incorporate K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream into your Korean routine?
- Double cleansing (evening only): start with an oil cleanser, then follow with a foaming cleanser to start with a clean base.
- Toner: apply your Korean toner to your face, gently patting. Avoid the eye contour at this stage if your toner contains exfoliants.
- Serum / Ampoule: apply your facial serum to the rest of your face before moving on to the eye area.
- Eye contour — key step: apply SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream to the eye contour, patting with your ring fingers, moving up from the brow bone to the cheekbone. Start with 2 to 3 evenings per week, then increase frequency as tolerated. For evening use only.
- Moisturizer: seal with your Korean moisturizer on your face.
- In the morning: be sure to apply sunscreen the next morning — retinal increases sun sensitivity.
💡To avoid any reaction, gradually introduce each new product into your routine. Your skin needs time to adapt! Also, remember to test the product on a small area of your hand before applying it to your face.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the K-SECRET SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream have good reviews?
The SEOUL 1988 Eye Creamis particularly well-regarded for its tolerability: users accustomed to traditional retinol report less irritation, and those new to retinoids appreciate its recommended gradual approach. Positive feedback mainly highlights improved texture around the eyes and a reduction in dark circles after 3 to 4 weeks of regular use.
What is the difference between retinal and retinol in the Seoul 1988 Eye Cream?
The retinal (retinaldehyde)is one step further along the conversion chain to retinoic acid than retinol, making it more active at the same concentration. In the Seoul 1988 formula, it is encapsulated in liposomesfor gradual release, which limits the irritation usually associated with retinoids. In practice: faster results, with tolerability similar to that of retinol.
Is the K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Eye Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the formula was designed to minimize the risk of irritationin the eye contour area. The liposomal encapsulation of the retinal slows down its release, and soybean ferment and ginseng support the skin barrier. If your skin is ultra-reactive to retinoids, start by applying it every other night for 2 weeks, then increase the frequency based on your tolerance.
Can the Seoul 1988 Eye Cream be used with other retinol or AHA products?
It is not recommended to layer multiple retinoid or exfoliating active ingredientson the same area, especially one as delicate as the eye contour. If you already use a retinol serum on the rest of your face, use the Seoul 1988 only on the eye area and be sure to hydrate the skin properly. Do not combine it with AHAs/BHAs on the same evening in that area.
At what age should you start using the K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Retinal Eye Cream?
The cream is suitable from age 25to prevent the first fine lines and even out the skin tone around the eyes. It is particularly effective starting from age 30-35, when crow's feet begin to set in and dark circles become more persistent. It is also suitable for mature skin looking for a better-tolerated alternative to high-dose retinol formulas.

Me volví adicta a los resultados de la disminución de la apariencia de mis lineas de expresión.. Ya tengo que volver a pedir otro!!!!
Very gentle on my under eyes and absorbs well. I’ve noticed my fine lines looking smoother and my skin feels more hydrated. Perfect for my nighttime routine!
C'est la première fois que j'essayais un produit au rétinol sur ma peau. J'ai suivi les recommandations d'espacer de 3 jours entre chaque utilisation. Ma peau l'assimile bien et je vois que mes cernes commencent à s'estomper doucement mais sûrement.
Very nice
I’ve only been using this a few days I brought it because it had really good reviews. I am really impressed even after a few days my eyes area seems to be smoother and brighter. It’s gentle on the skin and I swear it’s making a difference already. I’ve just 40 so I was starting to get paranoid about wrinkles around my eyes and sagging on the eyelid i’m excited to see more results the longer I’ve been using it would definitely recommend, especially as it came the following day. I’m very impatient when I see something I like I want it straight away so loved that. It came the next day. Definitely give it a try. I’ve had great results so far
Good
MAGIC. I can't actually believe it. Under eye lines are gone after three uses. It's like instant botox. Don't hesitate to buy. I usually use the Ceravae retinol one but never again. Hands down the best under eye cream there is. It's the holy grail. Chef's kiss!
I had seen many reviews on this eye cream so I decided to try it and much to my surprised it definitely was all they bragged about. I am pleased with the results I am seeing, great hydration, diminishing lines. Highly recommend.
With continued,steady use, makes fine lines unnoticeable. Really good product.
Nice product
Goo product would recommend
Amazing product
Very effective as an eye cream, removing dark spots. After a couple of months using it, the dark spots under my eyes, are almost gone and it give me brighter look. Not as effective for fine lines of wrinkle. Not seeing any improvements on fine lines. Recommend 10/10 for dark spots under eyes.
Very good
100% recommend this product for someone who has dark circles. I used Beauty of Joseph eye cream and this is an upgrade for me. I see my dark circles getting better. It's not an overnight process consistency is key
J'ai découvert ce produit grâce à une amie dermatologue qui me l'a recommandé pour traiter mes rides. Ma peau et mes rides se sont nettement améliorées depuis que je l'utilise ! Ma peau est plus douce et non sèche. Il ne colle pas et n'a pas d'odeur forte. C'est un excellent rapport qualité-prix.
This is an absolute game changer .. I highly recommend. I used retinol for nearly 2 years and didnt notice a difference. Within a week of using this wrinkles disappeared completely and have continued to do so , to the point people at work thought i had , had botox.Its gentle on the skin , lovely light weight texture and goes on really nice . Its one of yhe most effective serums I have ever used , just purchases my second one . Its cost effective too , the retinol i was using was £40 and no comparison to this .
Crème qui pique un peu, à mettre tout les deux jour c'est suffisant.
Je n'ai pas encore de résultats, car je commence, mais j'ai adoré cette crème pour le contour des yeux. Très agréable à mettre.
I suffer from severe under eye bags (luggage, actually) and have tried absolutely everything. Nothing worked until I found this. I have tried several Korean skin care products and found them too drying for my mature skin. This is awesome! I apply around my eyes before bed and wake up to no bags, or very small bags (carry ons) and a glass like glow. I highly recommend. I have subscribed, so I don’t run out!
Parfait
Je recommande ce produit. Tres efficace en quelques jours. . Les cernes diminuent. Par contre des que vous arrêtez d en mettre ,les cernes reviennent
Je voulais le tester avant de laisser un commentaire.. il est incroyable ! Mes tâches d’hyperpigmentations partent après 3 jours d’utilisation. Je suis ravis ! :)
Marque incroyable, produit incroyable ! je l'utilise avec du rétinol pour le reste du visage. Avec ce produit je peux traiter les rides des contours des yeux
This is a fantastic product, I use it around my eyes but you can use it on any facial lines .As it’s a retinol product you must only use it at night .I usually use very high end products so when a friend told me about this cream I thought I would give it a try as it’s so inexpensive and wouldn’t be wasting much money if it didn’t workHowever it’s AMAZING !! Give it a try it’s absolutely worth it .* I have been using it for awhile now , this purchase was for a friend .
I’ve been using this for a month and it’ll be a permanent fixture. It goes on smoothly and its very light on the skin. There is no scent to it which I like, it doesn’t burn, and I have seen a softening of eye wrinkles. This is a great product and I am so glad I found!
magnifique
