## Key benefits

- Retinol delivered in a cushioned gel-cream base
- Ceramide NP and squalane buffer the retinoid for comfort
- Ginseng root extract and adenosine support a firmer look
- One evening step that can stand in for serum plus cream

## How it works

This gel-cream opens with glycerin and 2,3-butanediol rather than water, part of why the texture absorbs quickly without stickiness. Squalane and ceramide NP sit mid-list to buffer the retinol that appears further down the formula, a common Korean formulation choice for keeping a retinoid comfortable on daily use. Retinol itself is placed after those buffering ingredients rather than at the top of the list. Panax ginseng root extract and adenosine appear near the tail for an antioxidant, conditioning finish. Because this is a retinoid product, building up frequency slowly and wearing sunscreen every morning is the standard precaution, since retinoids raise skin's sun sensitivity.

## How to use

1. Use it in the evening as your moisturizer, after serum, as the last leave-on step.
2. A pea for the face and neck, warmed between the fingers and pressed in rather than rubbed.
3. Start at two or three evenings a week, then move to nightly once skin is used to it.
4. Do not run it on the same evening as another retinoid, and wear sunscreen every morning while you use it.

## FAQ

### Where does retinol sit on this moisturizer's ingredient list?

Retinol appears after squalane, ceramide NP, and several other emollients and humectants on the list, a placement that comes after the buffering ingredients rather than at the top. That order is typical of a Korean formula built to keep a retinoid comfortable for daily use.

### Do I need to worry about sun exposure with this cream?

Yes. This is a retinoid product, and retinoids raise skin's sensitivity to the sun. Building up how often you use it and wearing sunscreen every morning is the standard precaution for any retinol-containing product.

### What buffers the retinol in this formula?

Squalane and ceramide NP both sit on the ingredient list ahead of the retinol, providing the cushioning lipid base that Korean formulas commonly pair with a retinoid to keep it comfortable on skin.

### Where does ginseng appear in this moisturizer?

Panax ginseng root extract appears near the tail of the ingredient list, alongside adenosine, for an antioxidant, conditioning finish behind the retinol and ceramide NP. That later placement is typical of a supporting botanical rather than the formula's lead ingredient.

### 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.
