Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng & Retinal
Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng & Retinal is a fast-absorbing Korean eye serum that targets fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness with a gentle yet potent blend of 10 % ginseng root extract and stabilized retinal liposomes. The lightweight texture sinks in instantly, boosting collagen synthesis while flooding the delicate eye area with lasting hydration for firmer-looking, bright, refreshed under-eyes.
Benefits:
- Triple wrinkle care: retinal liposomes smooth the look of crow’s-feet, fine lines, and texture.
- Brightening & de-puffing: niacinamide + ginseng improve dark circles and reduce morning puffiness.
- Barrier support: macadamia seed oil, cholesterol & ceramide NP reinforce the fragile eye contour.
- Hydration without heaviness: panthenol and sodium hyaluronate leave a silky, non-sticky finish.
- Makeup-friendly: serum texture layers seamlessly under concealer for a crease-free, luminous look.
Skin Types | Concerns:
All, especially first signs of aging, dull tone, fine lines, dehydration.
