SEOUL 1988 Retinal Active Shot Mask Sheet : Retinal Liposome + Calendula Flower (1EA)

KSECRET – SEOUL 1988 Retinal Active Shot Mask Sheet : Retinal Liposome + Calendula Flower (1EA) is an intensive treatment mask designed to target uneven texture, fine lines, loss of firmness and dull-looking tone. The serum combines Retinal with Hydrolyzed Sponge micro-spicules, Niacinamide, Adenosine, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, two Vitamin C forms, Vitamin E, Astaxanthin and Calendula Flower Extract for concentrated smoothing, firming, brightening and hydrating care. Unlike a daily hydrating sheet mask, this formula is designed as a stronger 1–2 times weekly treatment, and a temporary tingling sensation may occur during use. Benefits: Supports smoother-looking texture: Retinal and Hydrolyzed Sponge complement intensive care for rough, uneven-looking skin. Helps improve visible firmness: Retinal, Adenosine and Hydrolyzed Collagen support a firmer, more resilient-looking complexion. Targets fine lines: Retinal and Adenosine provide signs-of-aging focused care while hydration temporarily softens dehydration lines. Brightens dull-looking skin: Niacinamide and two Vitamin C forms help support a more radiant, even-looking complexion. Provides spicule-based intensive care: According to the supplied product information, the formula features 15,000 shots of highly refined micro-spicules. Provides concentrated hydration: Glycerin, Glycereth-26, Trehalose and Sodium Hyaluronate help maintain softness and moisture. Supports skin comfort: Calendula Flower Extract and Allantoin provide soothing and conditioning benefits. Provides antioxidant care: Astaxanthin, Tocopherol and Vitamin C derivatives help protect against oxidative stress. Conditions dry-feeling skin: Macadamia Seed Oil and Olive Fruit Oil provide additional emollient support. High-adherence sheet: The supplied product information describes a thin bamboo-fiber sheet designed to hold essence closely against the skin. Special weekly treatment: Designed for approximately 10–20 minutes of intensive care, 1–2 times per week. No listed fragrance: The supplied INCI contains no Fragrance, Parfum or clearly identified aromatic essential oils. Skin Types: Normal • Dry • Combination • Oily • Mature skin • Retinoid-experienced skin • Sensitive skin introduced cautiously Skin Concerns: Fine lines • Wrinkles • Loss of firmness • Loss of elasticity • Uneven texture • Dullness • Dark spots • Post-blemish marks • Dehydration • Roughness Clinical Results: The supplied product information states that the mask was assessed as low irritation in a human application test. Testing was conducted by the Korea Dermatology Research Institute from February 24, 2026 to February 27, 2026 with 30 participants. Individual tolerance and results may vary, particularly because the formula contains micro-spicules. How to Use: Use preferably in the evening. After cleansing, prepare the skin with toner. Apply the sheet evenly over the face, avoiding the immediate eye area and lips. Leave on for approximately 10–20 minutes. Remove the sheet and gently pat the remaining essence into the skin. A mild temporary tingling or prickling sensation may occur because Hydrolyzed Sponge micro-spicules are present. Use approximately 1–2 times per week rather than as a daily mask. If your skin is sensitive, patch test before full-face use. Avoid using on broken, wounded or significantly irritated skin. Do not use immediately after peeling treatments, microneedling, laser procedures or other treatments that leave the skin sensitized. Avoid using beauty devices in the same routine because this may increase irritation. Avoid another Retinol, Retinal or strong retinoid treatment in the same routine. If your skin is sensitive, use strong AHA or BHA exfoliants on separate days. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning. Avoid retinoid-containing skincare during pregnancy. If breastfeeding, discuss retinoid use with your doctor.

A: Retinal supports smoother-looking texture, firmer-looking skin and improvement in the appearance of fine lines over time. Q: Is Retinal the same as Retinol? A: No. They are different Vitamin A derivatives. Retinal requires fewer conversion steps before becoming retinoic acid in the skin. Q: Does this mask contain spicules? A: Yes.

A: According to the supplied product information, the mask is formulated with approximately 15,000 refined micro-spicule “shots” as part of its intensive delivery concept. This is a manufacturer-described count rather than a percentage concentration. Q: Are the spicules really 99% pure? A: The supplied product information describes the refined spicule raw material as 99% high-purity. This refers to the raw material, not 99% of the finished mask formula. Q: Is tingling normal?

A: Remove it and discontinue use if you experience severe burning, persistent pain, significant redness, swelling or another strong reaction. Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Low-irritation testing was completed, but sensitive skin should still patch test first because the formula combines Retinal with micro-spicules. Q: Is it suitable for Retinal beginners?
