## Key benefits

- Ginseng root extract is the second ingredient, ahead of every glycol and oil on the list
- Retinal is liposome-encapsulated by the brand's own account and placed low on the list, the gentler-release approach the eye area calls for
- Niacinamide and adenosine work the tone and firmness angle alongside the retinal
- Ceramide NP and cholesterol close the list, so the barrier is answered, not just the line
- Original Korean-market formula, sourced the way Beauty of Joseon sells it in Seoul
- This is a retinoid, however gentle the release. Build up slowly around the eyes and use sunscreen every morning; retinoids raise sun sensitivity.

## How it works

The eye area has thinner skin and fewer oil glands than the rest of the face, so it tolerates less of what a cheek can absorb without protest. Ginseng root extract leads the list here, ahead of every glycol and oil, and retinal, which Beauty of Joseon states is liposome-encapsulated, sits well down the list, a placement that matches a gentler release rather than a front-loaded dose. Niacinamide and adenosine round out the tone-and-firmness brief, and ceramide NP with cholesterol closes the list to keep the barrier in the argument around a feature that has less of one to begin with.

## How to use

1. Use it in the evening only, after your serum and before your night cream.
2. One grain sized dab per eye is the whole amount, patted along the orbital bone with a ring finger.
3. Start at two or three evenings a week and build up as skin gets used to it.
4. Do not take it right up to the lash line, and do not pair it with another retinoid on the same night.

## FAQ

### Is retinal the same thing as retinol?

Retinal is a different, faster-converting form of vitamin A from retinol. On this ingredient list it appears well down the formula alongside cholesterol and ceramide NP, which is the gentler-release placement Korean eye-area formulas typically use for a retinoid.

### Do I need to be careful with sun exposure using this eye serum?

Yes. This is a retinoid product, however gentle its release, and retinoids raise skin's sun sensitivity. Building up use slowly around the eyes and wearing sunscreen every morning is the standard precaution for any retinal or retinol product.

### Where does ginseng sit on this serum's ingredient list?

Panax ginseng root extract is the second ingredient, right after water, ahead of every glycol and oil on the list. That places it as a leading ingredient in the formula rather than a trace addition.

### What supports the skin barrier in a retinoid formula like this one?

Ceramide NP and cholesterol close out the ingredient list, both barrier lipids included alongside the retinal. Their presence is why the formula is described as answering the barrier alongside the fine-line ingredient rather than leaving it unaddressed.

### How can I confirm this is the authentic Korean-market Beauty of Joseon formula, not a US reformulation?

Beauty of Joseon verifies its products by sourcing chain rather than a scan, because the brand has retired its own QR verification and is phasing out its authenticity seal. Your unit arrives with its Korean-market barcode and batch code intact, not swapped for an export label, and we publish exactly where we buy. That intact packaging is the record the brand itself points to now that its earlier scan-based check is gone.
