SEOUL 1988 Hydrogel Mask : Retinal Liposome + Lotus Flower (4EA))

KSECRET – SEOUL 1988 Hydrogel Mask : Retinal Liposome + Lotus Flower is a 38g intensive hydrogel mask designed to target fine lines, loss of elasticity, dullness, uneven-looking tone and dehydration while delivering long-lasting moisture. The formula combines Retinal with Niacinamide, a six-vitamin complex, eight forms of Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide NP, Adenosine and Lotus Flower Extract to support smoother, firmer and more radiant-looking skin. The thick hydrogel gradually becomes thinner and more transparent during wear as it closely adheres to the skin, making it ideal for an extended 1–3 hour treatment.

Soothes stressed-looking skin: Lotus Flower Extract, Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate provide comforting skin-conditioning care. Contains 6 vitamins: Vitamin C, B1, B2, B6, E and K forms provide antioxidant and conditioning support. High-weight hydrogel: The 38g mask provides a substantial, closely adhering layer of serum-rich hydrogel. Becomes transparent during use: The hydrogel gradually thins and becomes clearer as the treatment progresses.

How to Use: Use preferably in the evening because the formula contains Retinal. After cleansing, prepare the skin with toner. Remove the protective films from the upper and lower hydrogel pieces. Apply the upper piece around the eye area and the lower piece around the mouth, adjusting for a close fit. Leave on for approximately 1–3 hours, or until the hydrogel becomes noticeably thinner and more transparent. The time required for transparency can vary according to skin condition, temperature and humidity. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into the skin. Follow with moisturizer if needed. The circular pieces from the eye and mouth cutouts can be placed on other areas requiring additional care. If you are new to Retinal, begin with shorter wear time and occasional use rather than frequent or overnight application. Avoid using another Retinol, Retinal or prescription retinoid in the same routine. If your skin is sensitive, avoid combining with strong AHA, BHA or peeling treatments on the same evening. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning. Avoid retinoid-containing skincare during pregnancy. If breastfeeding, discuss retinoid use with your doctor.
