What is confirmed about the formula?

The formula uses stabilized retinal liposomes and ginseng root extract. Beauty of Joseon describes a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without stickiness, with hydration and visible improvements in skin smoothness and elasticity as its intended benefits. Beauty of Joseon calls it both an eye serum and an eye cream, so the naming has already done some layering.1

How do you apply it?

  1. 1Pump the applicator one to two times.
  2. 2Use your ring finger to gently pat the serum under your eyes and around the eye area.
  3. 3Follow with sunscreen if you apply the serum during the day.

Beauty of Joseon permits morning and evening use. The serum is primarily designed for the under eye area, but the brand also permits application across the face. For especially dry or sensitive skin, layer the serum over a gentle moisturizing cream.2

Who should be careful?

The serum is designed for all skin types, but sensitive skin should start with a small amount and increase the amount gradually. Retinal can cause sensitivity, including stinging. An unspecified percentage is not a reason to assume the product will be gentle enough for your skin.2

Beauty of Joseon advises against mixing the serum with AHA, BHA or PHA exfoliating products to reduce irritation risk. Avoid this serum during pregnancy or breastfeeding.2

What results have been reported?

Beauty of Joseon reports an 8.65% improvement in wrinkles after two weeks in a serum study involving 21 people. The percentage describes a measured wrinkle change, not the amount of retinal in the bottle.1

The separate Revive Under Eye Patch also contains retinal. Its reported 28.10% improvement in the appearance of wrinkles after four weeks involved 22 people using the patches and serum together. Those results belong to the combined routine, not the serum alone, despite the matching names doing their best to blur the paperwork. Keep the serum's results separate from the patch combination when deciding what to expect.3
