K-SECRET Retinal Advanced Shot 0.51 fl oz – 12% Retinal Liposome, 22,275 Spicules

K-SECRET SEOUL1988 Retinal Advanced Shot is an at-home resurfacing serum that combines 12% retinal in a liposome delivery system with 22,275 dissolvable spicules to enhance texture, tone, and ingredient absorption.

This concentrated 0.51 fl oz treatment pairs a high-strength retinal complex with micro-spicule technology to support smoother-looking skin and more efficient delivery of active ingredients. The formula blends antioxidant-rich black rice with panthenol and niacinamide to hydrate, calm, and help even skin tone while liposomes protect retinal stability for improved penetration. Use instructions and gradual introduction are included so you can start safely and monitor how your skin responds.

How does the retinal liposome system work and why does it matter?

The retinal is encapsulated in liposomes to shield the active from degradation and to facilitate controlled absorption into the skin. This approach helps the retinal remain potent longer and may allow for better delivery than a standard formulation.

• 12% retinal liposome concentrate for high-strength performance
• Liposome carriers protect retinal and support deeper delivery
• Formulated to balance potency with skin tolerability

What do the 22,275 spicules do and what will I feel?

The micro-spicules are tiny, dissolving needles designed to create micro-resurfacing contact with the skin surface, enhancing texture and helping actives penetrate more effectively. During application you may notice a light tingling or warming sensation—this mild response is expected as the spicules engage the skin for gentle renewal.

• 22,275 biodegradable spicules per bottle to aid resurfacing
• Light tingling is a normal, temporary sensation
• Spicule action supports smoother texture and improved absorption

How should I introduce this treatment into my routine safely?

Start slowly to allow your skin time to adapt: patch-test first, then apply once or twice weekly for the initial two weeks before increasing frequency. Apply at the final step of your evening routine, targeting specific areas, and always follow with sunscreen during daytime to protect skin sensitivity.

• Patch test on the arm before first full-face use
• Begin with 1–2 applications per week for 1–2 weeks
• Apply a small amount to targeted areas and gently press in
• Use sunscreen during the day while integrating retinal

Which supportive ingredients are included and what do they do?

Black rice extract, panthenol, and niacinamide are blended into the formula to provide antioxidant support, soothing hydration, and complexion balancing. These ingredients help maintain skin comfort and visible evenness while the retinal and spicules focus on texture and renewal.

• Black rice: antioxidant support and skin-protective benefits
• Panthenol: moisture retention and soothing properties
• Niacinamide: helps balance tone and improve skin clarity

Who is this for: K-SECRET SEOUL1988 Retinal Advanced Shot is intended for people experienced with active retinoids who want a potent, targeted resurfacing treatment at home. It suits those seeking to improve rough texture, pore appearance, and uneven tone while using a high-strength retinal delivered via liposomes and enhanced by micro-spicule technology. If you have very sensitive, compromised, or actively inflamed skin, consult a skincare professional before use and always perform a patch test to assess tolerance.
