Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal

The box doesn't state a percentage, but retinal appears in the last third of the ingredient list, so it's a gentle, beginner-friendly amount. That suits the thin, delicate eye area well. Niacinamide, ginseng root extract and adenosine do much of the work alongside it. For stronger vitamin A on the rest of the face, consider the Celimax Retinal Shot.

Yes. The box says it can be used during the day under sunscreen, thanks to its gentle retinal level. Many people still prefer to use vitamin A products in the evening, which is a good choice too. If you use it in the morning, always follow with sunscreen, including around the eyes.

After toner and serum, take one or two pumps and gently pat the serum around the eye area along the orbital bone, keeping away from the lash line and the eyes themselves. Tap lightly with your ring finger until absorbed. You can also apply it to fine lines around the mouth and on the neck, then follow with moisturiser.

It mainly helps the eye area look smoother, more hydrated and more rested, and softens the look of fine lines over time. Niacinamide may help a little with uneven tone, but no eye serum can fully remove dark circles caused by genetics or thin skin. For quick de-puffing, try cool hydrogel eye patches in the morning.

It contains retinal, a form of vitamin A, even if in a gentle amount. Retinoids are generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so check with your doctor before using this serum. If you're looking for eye care without retinoids, ask our team for a suitable alternative.

It's fragrance-free and cushioned with ceramide NP and cholesterol, so most skin tolerates it well. Because it contains retinal, patch-test first and start every other evening if your skin is sensitive, then increase to daily use. Mild dryness can happen at first; stop if you notice redness, stinging or swelling.

Yes, but avoid doubling up on the same spot. Apply your face retinoid, such as Celimax Retinol or Retinal Shot, while keeping it away from the eye area, then use Revive Eye Serum only around the eyes. If your skin feels dry or irritated, use them on alternate evenings and finish with a fragrance-free moisturiser.

Yes. It's an easy way for men to care for crow's feet and tired-looking under-eyes. A single pump is enough for both eyes; pat it on after cleansing, in the evening or under sunscreen in the morning. The texture absorbs quickly and isn't greasy, and it's fragrance-free, so it's comfortable for daily use.
