How it works
The Revive Under Eye Patch: Ginseng + Retinal is Beauty of Joseon's eye patch, built around Hydrolyzed Collagen, Retinal and Bakuchiol. Hydrolyzed collagen and a separate collagen water entry sit mid-list for a plumping, conditioning feel across the under-eye area. Retinal and bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinoid alternative, appear together toward the end of the list, a gentler pairing than a standalone retinoid at full strength. Acetyl hexapeptide-8 closes out the formula as a conditioning peptide. The wing-shaped hydrogel format is meant for a short ten to twenty minute wear, chilled beforehand for a cooling application.
Key benefits
- Ginseng root water is the first ingredient of the gel
- Collagen water and hydrolyzed collagen plump the look of the under-eye
- Retinal and bakuchiol bring gentle fine-line care
- Chill the tub for a cooling morning ritual
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
Beauty of Joseon Revive Under Eye Patch: Ginseng + Retinal
What retinoid does this eye patch use, and is it gentle?
Retinal appears alongside bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinoid alternative, toward the end of this patch's ingredient list. Pairing the two, rather than using a full-strength retinoid alone, is a gentler approach suited to the thin under-eye skin these patches target.
What gives this patch its plumping feel?
Hydrolyzed collagen and a separate collagen water entry both sit on the ingredient list, mid-way through the formula, to support a plumper, more conditioned feel across the under-eye area. Adenosine sits nearby on the list, adding a further conditioning layer to the same patch.
How long should I wear these patches?
The hydrogel format is designed for a short ten to twenty minute wear, which is standard for this style of under-eye patch. Chilling the tub beforehand adds a cooling effect to the application.
How many patches come in the box?
The box contains 60 patches, which is 30 pairs, enough for roughly a month of use if you apply a pair every other day. Storing the tub in the refrigerator between uses keeps the hydrogel cool for the next application.
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.

Ingredient list read from inkeedecoder.com on 10 September 2026.
32 of 33 explained
- Panax Ginseng Root Water plant extract
- Ginseng root distillate used as a base water. It carries far less of the ginsenosides than the root extract does.
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Collagen Water (Water, Collagen) protein
- Collagen Water is a collagen solution used in place of plain water as a formula base. It hydrates and leaves a conditioned feel; the collagen molecule itself stays on the surface.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Chondrus Crispus plant extract
- Chondrus Crispus is Irish moss, a red seaweed. It is loaded with carrageenan, so it hydrates and thickens at once, and it leaves a cushioned, slippery film.
- Hydroxyacetophenone preservative booster
- Hydroxyacetophenone is an antioxidant that also strengthens a preservative system, so a formula needs less traditional preservative. Korean formulas pair it with 1,2-hexanediol constantly.
- Algin thickener
- Algin is a brown-seaweed polysaccharide. It thickens, forms a film, and sets into a rubbery gel when calcium is added, which is how a peel-off modelling mask works.
- Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum thickener
- Carob Gum is a seed polysaccharide from the carob tree. It thickens a formula and gives a soft, cushioned body.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Potassium Chloride mineral
- Potassium Chloride is a mineral salt used to bring a formula closer to the salt balance of skin, most often as part of a sea-water or mineral-water blend.
- Xanthan Gum thickener
- Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.
20 more explained
- Hydrolyzed Collagen protein
- Hydrolyzed Collagen is collagen broken into fragments small enough to dissolve in water. It cannot become collagen in skin; what it does is hold water at the surface and leave a smooth, conditioned film.
- Glucomannan thickener
- Glucomannan is a konjac root polysaccharide. It thickens, holds a great deal of water and leaves a smooth, cushioned film.
- Sucrose humectant
- Sucrose is table sugar, used here as a humectant. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and, in a scrub, doubles as the physical grain.
- Mica colorant
- Mica is a mineral ground into fine flakes. It scatters light, so it lightens a shade and gives the soft glow of a tinted or illuminating product.
- Synthetic Fluorphlogopite colorant
- Synthetic mica, grown rather than mined, which makes it purer and more transparent than the natural mineral. It scatters light and carries pearlescent pigments.
- Adenosine active
- Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
- Maltodextrin film former
- Maltodextrin is a starch-derived sugar chain used to carry powdered extracts and to form a light film. It also gives a soft, smoothing feel.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
- Allantoin active
- Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
- Tin Oxide colorant
- A white mineral used in small amounts alongside pearl pigments, where it helps them disperse and brightens the effect.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier
- Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
- Centella Asiatica Extract plant extract
- Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
- Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Fig Fruit Extract carries fruit sugars, mild acids and a protein-digesting enzyme. It is used as a hydrating extract with a light smoothing effect.
- Beta-Glucan polysaccharide
- Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide from oats or yeast. It holds a large amount of water, forms a soothing film, and is one of the ingredients formulators reach for in products aimed at reactive skin.
- Ceramide NP barrier lipid
- Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
- Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster
- Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
- Bakuchiol active
- Bakuchiol is a compound from the babchi seed, used as a plant-derived alternative to retinol. It is oil soluble, stable in daylight and does not carry retinol's acclimatisation period, which is why sensitive-skin formulas choose it.
- Retinal active
- Retinal is retinaldehyde, a vitamin A derivative one chemical step closer to retinoic acid than retinol is. It is yellow-orange and unstable in light, so products carrying it are usually opaque.
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 peptide
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable.

How to use
- Use the Revive Under Eye Patch: Ginseng + Retinal in the evening, after toner, on clean skin under each eye.
- One patch per eye, positioned a finger's width below the lash line and pressed flat from the middle outward.
- Toner first so the skin is clean and slightly damp. Take the patches off at the time the pack gives, pat in what is left, then carry on to your cream.
- Two or three evenings a week. Do not reuse a patch or leave one on overnight; once the essence has gone the sheet works against the skin it is sitting on.
Worth knowing
- Follow the timing on the pack; leaving a treatment step on well past the stated time does not add benefit and can irritate skin.
- Patch-test on a small area first if you are new to this formula or to the brand.
- Panax Ginseng Root Water and this formula's other named actives are new to your skin the first time you use it, so introduce it a few times a week before moving to daily use if your skin runs sensitive.
