What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Retinal

    Retinaldehyde, one step closer to the active form of vitamin A than retinol. Used here in a small, eye-friendly amount to smooth fine lines over time.

    No. 28 of 36 on the list

  • Ginseng

    Beauty of Joseon’s hero hanbang root, used to keep skin firm, revitalized and less tired-looking.

    No. 14 of 36 on the list

  • Niacinamide + adenosine

    Niacinamide brightens dullness under the eyes. Adenosine is a wrinkle-care ingredient widely used in Korean formulas.

    No. 7, 20 of 36 on the list

  • Barrier lipids + peptide

    Ceramide and cholesterol cushion the retinal, hyaluronic acid hydrates, and a peptide supports a firmer look.

    No. 21, 31, 35, 36 of 36 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Macadamia seed oil
  • Cocoa
  • Rapeseed sterols
