Key Ingredients

Retinal Liposomes

Retinal—also called retinaldehyde—is a vitamin A derivative that helps improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and loss of firmness.

The retinal is incorporated into a stabilized liposomal system designed to support effective delivery while helping maintain formula stability. The current official Canadian product page does not disclose the concentration of pure retinal, so this page does not describe it as “2% retinal.”

Ginseng Root Extract

A traditional Korean skincare ingredient that helps maintain moisture and nourish tired-looking skin.

Niacinamide

Helps support the moisture barrier and improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

A peptide that helps support smoother, firmer-looking skin.

Ceramide NP and Cholesterol

Help support the skin’s natural moisture barrier and reduce moisture loss from the delicate eye area.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Attracts moisture to help the under-eye area appear hydrated and plump.

Adenosine

A skin-conditioning ingredient that helps soften the visible appearance of fine lines.

Macadamia Seed Oil

Provides emollient moisture and helps keep dry skin feeling comfortable.

Who Is It For?

Recommended for:

• Fine lines around the eyes
• Dry or crepey-looking under-eyes
• Loss of firmness and elasticity
• Dull or tired-looking eyes
• Uneven under-eye texture
• Retinoid users wanting a targeted eye treatment
• Normal, dry, combination or oily skin

Sensitive skin and first-time retinal users should introduce the serum gradually.

Texture and Finish

Revive Eye Serum has a lightweight serum-cream texture that spreads easily and absorbs without excessive stickiness.

One to two pumps is intended for the entire eye area, so only a small amount is required. Applying too much—especially close to the lash line—may increase the chance of irritation.

How to Use

1. Cleanse and apply toner and facial serum.
2. Pump the applicator one or two times.
3. Divide the product between both eyes.
4. Using your ring finger, gently pat beneath and around the eye area.
5. Follow with moisturizer.
6. If used during the day, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Do not apply directly inside the eyes, on the eyelids unless tolerated, or too close to the lash line.

Recommended Introduction Schedule

New to Retinal or Sensitive Skin

• Begin two evenings per week.
• Use a small amount over moisturizer if needed.
• Increase to every other evening only when the skin remains comfortable.

Experienced Retinoid Users

• Begin every other evening.
• Increase gradually according to skin tolerance.

Dry or Easily Irritated Skin

Use the moisturizer sandwich method:

1. Apply a thin layer of gentle moisturizer.
2. Pat on a small amount of Revive Eye Serum.
3. Follow with another light layer of moisturizer if needed.

Retinal Care

• Patch-test before regular use.
• Begin gradually rather than applying every day immediately.
• Avoid applying to irritated, peeling or damaged skin.
• Avoid combining it in the same routine with another retinoid.
• Beauty of Joseon recommends avoiding simultaneous use with AHA, BHA or PHA exfoliants to reduce the risk of irritation.
• Consistently use sunscreen during the day.
• Stop using the product and allow the skin to recover if persistent burning, swelling or peeling occurs.
• Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding because the formula contains retinal.

Can It Be Used on the Entire Face?

Yes. Beauty of Joseon states that Revive Eye Serum may be used on the entire face, although it was primarily designed for the under-eye area. Beauty of Joseon Official Store

When using it as a facial retinal treatment, begin with a small amount two evenings per week and avoid the corners of the nose, lips and other easily irritated areas.

Brand-Reported Clinical Testing

Beauty of Joseon reports:

• 8.65% improvement in the appearance of wrinkles after two weeks

When Paired with Revive Under Eye Patch

Beauty of Joseon reports that using Revive Eye Serum and Revive Under Eye Patch together as a system produced the following results in a four-week study of 22 subjects:

• 28.10% decrease in the appearance of wrinkles after four weeks
• 40.07% decrease in the appearance of under-eye bags after four weeks
• 2.62% improvement in the look of under-eye clarity after four weeks

These results apply to the two-product system and should not be interpreted as guaranteed results from the eye serum alone. Beauty of Joseon Official Store

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between retinal and retinol?

Both are vitamin A derivatives. Retinol requires two conversion steps before becoming retinoic acid, while retinal requires one. This can make retinal more active, but actual performance depends on concentration, delivery system and the complete formula.

Does this contain 2% retinal?

Older Beauty of Joseon material described the formula as containing a 2% retinal liposome complex. That does not mean the product contains 2% pure retinal.

The current official Canadian page describes stabilized retinal liposomes but does not specify the current concentration of pure retinal. For accuracy, this page does not market the product as “2% retinal.”

Can it remove dark circles?

It may improve the appearance of under-eye darkness associated with dryness, dullness and visible aging. However, dark circles caused by genetics, facial structure, pigmentation or visible blood vessels may not respond significantly to an eye serum.

Does it help under-eye bags?

It may help the eye area appear firmer and more refreshed. The brand’s stronger under-eye-bag results were obtained when this serum was used together with Revive Under Eye Patch, not from the serum alone.

Can I use it every day?

The brand allows morning and evening use, but new retinal users should begin two or three times per week. Increase only when the skin remains comfortable.

Can I use it in the morning?

Yes, but follow it with broad-spectrum sunscreen. If your skin is sensitive or you spend extended time in strong sunlight, evening use may be more comfortable.

Can I use it with vitamin C?

They may be used in the same overall routine if your skin tolerates both, but sensitive skin may benefit from using vitamin C in the morning and Revive Eye Serum at night.

Can I use it with AHA, BHA or PHA?

Beauty of Joseon advises against combining this retinal serum with AHA, BHA or PHA products in the same routine because doing so may increase irritation.

Can I use it with another retinol or retinal product?

Avoid layering multiple retinoids around the eyes in the same routine unless directed by a qualified skincare or healthcare professional.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The brand reports that it passed a sensitive-skin patch test, but retinal can still cause dryness, stinging or peeling. Begin with a small amount and increase gradually.

What should I do if it stings?

Mild sensitivity can occur when beginning a retinal product. Apply it over a gentle moisturizer and reduce the frequency. Discontinue use if stinging is persistent or accompanied by swelling, significant redness or peeling.

Can it be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No. Beauty of Joseon advises avoiding Revive Eye Serum during pregnancy and breastfeeding because it contains retinal. Beauty of Joseon Official Store

Is it fragrance-free?

Yes. Beauty of Joseon identifies the current formula as fragrance-free and alcohol-free.
