Product Description
SEOUL 1988 Serum: Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng is a targeted facial serum formulated around retinal, a vitamin A derivative commonly used in skincare routines focused on improving the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and signs of aging. The formula also features Black Ginseng, an antioxidant-rich botanical ingredient traditionally used in Korean skincare.
With consistent use, the serum can help improve the appearance of fine lines, rough texture, dullness and uneven-looking skin, while supporting a smoother and more refined complexion.
Because retinal can be potent, it is best introduced gradually, especially for people who are new to retinoid products.

How to Identify a Fake Product
Packaging details can vary by production batch, so no single visual feature can guarantee authenticity. To help verify the product:
-
Purchase from a reputable and traceable seller.
-
Check that the packaging has clear, professionally printed text and labeling.
-
Look for the batch/lot number, manufacturing information and expiry or PAO information, where applicable.
-
Check the seal and packaging for signs of tampering.
-
Compare the packaging, logo, typography and ingredient information with the manufacturer's official product presentation.
-
Be cautious of unusually low prices or products with poor-quality packaging.
-
Check that the serum's appearance, packaging and labeling are consistent with the genuine product you previously purchased.
-
Where available, verify an authenticity code or batch number through the brand/manufacturer.
Note: A difference in packaging alone does not necessarily mean a product is fake, as manufacturers may update packaging or produce different batches.
