How it works
K-Secret Seoul 1988 Eye Cream is an eye cream sold in K-Secret's Korean-market packaging and format. Niacinamide is listed 8th of 48 ingredients, an early, prominent position on the list, carrying this formula's brightening and tone-evening work. Adenosine is listed 23rd of 48 ingredients, a supporting position further down the list, adding the conditioning, moisture-supporting quality this formula relies on. Retinal is listed 26th of 48 ingredients, a supporting position further down the list, carrying this formula's skin-conditioning, renewal-adjacent work. Sodium Hyaluronate and Ascorbic Acid are also present on the list, in a supporting amount alongside the ingredients above. It takes the last step, before sunscreen of a Korean-style layering routine, used am and/or pm, as the last step before sunscreen or overnight.

How to use
- Use the Seoul 1988 Eye Cream after serum and before moisturizer, morning and evening.
- Apply a small amount on your finger and lightly tap the cream around the eye area.
- Serum first, this second, moisturizer over the top and out to the edges of the eye area.
- Twice a day. Do not apply it right up to the lash line; the product travels on its own as the day goes on.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm 24 hours before adding this to your face or scalp, as with any new product.
- Introduce it gradually alongside the rest of your routine rather than adding several new actives at once.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Vitamin A has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of your skin, where it finds and boosts collagen and elastin, which is a protein that strengthens your skin's flexibility.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
