"This one uses 2% liposomal retinal, which equals 0.02% retinal, and because it's encapsulated [...] it delivers more slowly and gently over time instead of all at once. It also has ginseng extract, macadamia nut oil, ceramides, and the syn-coll peptide. [...] This stuff is nice, it's very, very gentle, which might be a good thing for some people, maybe especially if you have very sensitive skin. [...] I only recommend using retinoids at night if possible."

"It's very nice. Actually, this one's a nice one for the neck, which gets sensitive and the eye area. And a lot of people use it all over their entire face because the packaging makes it convenient and affordable enough where you could use it over your entire face. So if your neck is sensitive, things like that, this one's a nice one and it's got some of those hydrating ingredients in there. So [...] very nice texture.

"I love that stuff. It's got [retinal] liposome in there, so it makes it a little bit more gentle. So if you're not used to retinoids, [retinal] liposome is kind of an encapsulated type and it makes it penetrate your skin more slowly, which makes it more gentle. So if you haven't used a lot of retinoids in the past, it's great. You can use this around your eyes. I typically have used this around my entire face because it's packaged, I think, 1 oz. It's 1 oz."

Just be cautious, don't use it over your eyelids, just use it around the eyes because of the retinal.

It also has ginseng extract, macadamia nut oil, cocoa extract, vitamin E, and the Sinclair peptide. Really good product.

Best KOREAN SKINCARE for ANTI AGING - Must Have K-Skincare 2025

"And I think this is a great option to do it. [...] Because this is super gentle, if you're somebody that doesn't tolerate high strength retinal, you can actually use this all over the face. You get a lot of product. [...] I think this is 30 ml, which is quite a large size for an eye cream and allows you to use it across the whole face. [...] This is a great gentle anti-aging option for retinal in those delicate areas. For me, it's under the eye. And I also use this on the neck."

"The lower dose of that retinal means it's so friendly to sensitive skin or to beginners. Most people will start with this and then probably graduate to one of the higher strength options, which is fine, but honestly if this is all your skin can tolerate it's still a wonderful product and will absolutely give you some game-changing anti-aging results in the long term.

"It's designed to be gentle for the under eye, but it still packs the punch. So you're still getting that crow's feet reduction.

[...] If you have very sensitive skin that can't tolerate retinoids, then you can actually use this all over the face."

"Retinal is where it's at when it comes to over-the-counter anti-aging and this is one of the best retinal serums you're going to find. Now it is advertised as an eye cream, which yes, you can use it under the delicate eye area, but you actually get a fair amount of product in here, this is 30 ml, so it's actually just a serum that you can use across the whole face. Beautiful product, great for anti-aging."

They are just so so well formulated products. I love everything Beauty of Joseon do. I would say these are my top two products from them.

I definitely think there are other eye creams if you're wanting to target like a lot more severe hyperpigmentation, you know, dark circles or fine lines and premature aging. I do think there are better options out there. However, it's still a really good product."

Best & Worst Korean Eye Creams 2026 (Tier List: Dark Circles, Wrinkles & Milia)

"If you've never tried an eye cream before, especially in your late teens or early twenties, and you're worried about breakouts or milia, this is a great pick, and it's very affordable, so for young skin I definitely recommend it. But for dry, mature skin I don't really recommend it, and I don't use it that much myself because the texture is so lightweight it's basically a serum, that's why I didn't put it in S tier, it's too light for me."

My (Very Honest) Review of Viral K-Beauty Anti-Aging Products

"Compared to older, heavier eye creams [...] in a jar that feel like a chore to use, this one is [...] light and absorbs pretty quickly, so it's easy to use and affordable. It does have [...] a little retinal in it so it makes it a little tight for me, [...] but I think they made the eye cream easy to use, and [...] I think it's worth it. Anybody who's lazy, [...] even in their early 20s, can try out this one for an eye cream."

Global No.1 vs Korea No.1 Skincare: Which is Better and Why?

"Beauty of Joseon's eye cream I think became popular because the texture isn't too heavy, the color is light, and the scent isn't strong so it's easy to apply. It has retinal in it so it can feel a little tightening. I would pick this one."

"The eye cream is also popular, but for me it was just okay. A lot of people mention issues with the pump, mine works fine but some people's don't. Eye creams can often be too heavy or too sticky, but this one is a lot more lightweight, easy to use, and absorbs quickly, so it's good for oily skin if you don't want something too heavy. [...] It has retinal in it, [...] so some people can feel a little burning, but other than that it kind of didn't live up to the hype for me."

I tried VIRAL TIKTOK KOREAN SKINCARE products… a brutal and honest review(Not Sponsored)

"This eye cream is worth the hype, you can buy it. It contains ginseng extract and retinal, which is a more evolved ingredient than retinol. It says eye cream, but they say you can use it on the whole face, which means it's not too sticky. Whenever I apply it, it feels a little thick and a little oily, but it smears in so well. Since it's a retinal, I use just a pea sized amount, and I've had no problem at all. I also put it around my smile lines and it works well there too."

Not quite a gel, not quite a cream, but it just has the best balance and level of hydration for the eye area, for concealer under the eye and eyeshadow on top. It's not too over hydrating that it's going to interfere with my eyeshadow. It's not too over hydrating that it's going to make my under eyes almost oily or greasy."

"I would also recommend the Beauty of Joseon retinal eye serum. If you're looking for a retinol or retinyl product in the VIB sale, I can't give you a better recommendation than this. It doesn't have to be used exclusively on your eye area, you can use it all over your face because it's retinaldehyde, which is one conversion away from the active form of retinoic acid, so it's stronger than retinol products, and you just can't beat that price."

What to Get & What to SKIP: Sephora VIB Sale!

Beauty of Joseon's CONFUSING Debut at Sephora?!

"I looked up other retinal eye serums on Sephora, [...] Sunday Riley is sixty five dollars, and even the Inky List is only a half ounce for its price. Murad's retinol youth renewal eye serum is eighty nine dollars for a half ounce, and that one is retinol, not retinaldehyde, retinol requires two conversions to get into its active form while retinaldehyde only requires one. [...] So Beauty of Joseon having this eye serum available for seventeen dollars is mind blowing, I'm so excited."

*Budget* Shopping for a FULL K-Beauty Skincare Routine!

"It is a Retinol Serum, which means it is only one conversion into that active form of retinoic acid that our skin can use. This is such a good option for a retinoid product, and it's twelve dollars and forty cents for one fluid ounce, which is the size of a western serum."

My FAVORITE Skincare Brands (& Products!)

"They have a retinal eye serum that's one fluid ounce, it's safe, it's made for the eye area but you can use it anywhere, and you can find it for about ten dollars. Compare that to a retinal eye cream I got from Murad that's half an ounce and costs ninety two dollars. Reasons like that are why I love Beauty of Joseon."

"I've seen this for around ten dollars, it's an incredible product, a great way to get a retinoid into your routine, and unlike retinol, retinaldehyde only requires one conversion to get to the active form in your skin. You're also getting some ginseng in here. [...] It's huge, it's a huge product that you don't have to only use on your eye area. Overall this is just one of the best budget friendly options that I've ever seen of all time for anything, it's really an incredible product."

"We've had retinaldehyde in the west but in products that were over $100, this is somewhere between 10 and 20 depending on where you're shopping.

I am able to use this on my eye area, and I again love the accessibility here."

"One of my all-time favorite retinal topicals is from the brand Beauty of Joseon, it is their Revive Eye Serum with Ginseng and Retinal. Retinal is just sort of shorthand for retinaldehyde.

"This one does have niacinamide, but it's also a great option. It's marketed for the eye, but the instructions tell you, hey, you can use it to the rest of your face, which I have. So this is another one of those examples where not everything that you put on your face needs a separate eye version because some things are formulated to be gentle enough for both. But I get it with vitamin A in general because it can be more irritating."

"I already know I like and recommended it, it's the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum. You can actually use it on your face too, it's gentle enough to use around the eyes but can be used on the face. It's [retinaldehyde], so your skin only has to do one thing to it to get it to the active form. It can with long-term consistent use improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, sunspots, overall skin texture. It's pretty well tolerated."

"A less expensive retinaldehyde that I personally use and really like is the Beauty of Joseon Retinol Eye Serum. It's marketed as an eye serum, but it can also be used on the face."

"It also [...] has niacinamide, which helps lighten sunspots and improve the moisture barrier, and [...] licorice root extract, which is anti-inflammatory and helps with brightening and redness. [...] It's really great, I actually continue to use it on my eyelids, I don't use my prescription retinoid there, and I really like it, no dry eyes."

BEST ANTI-AGING SKIN CARE OF 2022 🏆 Dermatologist @DrDrayzday

"This is the Beauty of Joseon retinaldehyde eye serum. It also has niacinamide and ceramide NP in it. It's eleven forty nine right now which is a pretty good deal, and you don't just have to use it around the eyes, you can use it on the rest of your face too. I like this product so much I also recommend it in my best budget skincare of 2022."

"What I like about this is that it can be used not only around the eyes but on the face, so the formula is [...] well tolerated around the eyes but also works on the face, which cuts down on the number of products you need. It also has ceramide, which helps the moisture barrier, and peptides, which act as a humectant to improve the moisture content of the skin."

Beauty of Joseon REVIVE EYE SERUM: RETINAL + GINSENG 👁 @Dr Dray

"I've got to say I actually really enjoy this product a lot. It is on the oily side, it feels a little greasy, oily, which doesn't surprise me since retinaldehyde is an oil loving ingredient, [...] possibly related to the macadamia seed oil. It does have an oilier feel to it which you may or may not like, and it's a bit of a heavier texture, but it does stay in place well, it doesn't migrate into the eyes."

"It's been a fantastic well-aging treatment for my extremely sensitive neck area. The texture is light and silky, it absorbs fast so you don't feel like it leaves anything on the skin. A little bit goes a long way, it spreads like silk, this fully absorbs, it dries down, and it's just really been working well. There's definitely a lot less guilt at such a great price."

"This has Ginseng and Retinol. Ginseng is a great antioxidant and of course, Retinal is great for those fine lines, but a bit of texture as well. This is nicely not lightweight, but not heavy as well. Just use a normal pea size amount and it sinks in so nicely without having to spend hours patting under the eyes. This has really good reviews across the board, especially on Amazon."

"This is their Revive Eye Serum, it's a ginseng and retinal, again not a retinol with an O, retinal with an A. This is one of the most potent K beauty products that I've ever used, but the good news is that it goes on sale and it works. [...] The color of this is super bright, that's the vitamin A, aka the retinoid in here, it's really doing the work."

"It's extraordinarily plumping and it [...] does help with fine lines and wrinkles. [...] The beauty of Joseon is [...] vegan and cruelty free which is very hard to find in retinaldehyde products. It also has ceramides, niacinamide, and ginseng which acts as an antioxidant. [...] Over a few weeks of regular use you start to see the under eyes look brighter, [...] less wrinkled, less saggy and crinkly."

"This also has antioxidants and ceramides, which are nourishing and can be plumping to the skin, so good if you have fine lines or wrinkles. This is one of the best eye creams I've ever come across. Again, you can use this all over your face which is what I personally do. Even if you have milia, this tends to have ingredients that are more milia-safe so it doesn't cause those little pearls that kind of ball up under the skin."

"Retinoids are like the gold standard ingredients in skincare. The retinol is [...] 0.02 which I think is like a nice low to medium intensity. This is one of the most inexpensive [retinal] products I've seen. [...] If you're looking for a general [retinal] product to try, this one is a really good option. You might want to look out for irritation though, as strong retinoids do tend to make you go a bit flaky and go through an adjustment period as your skin kind of rebuilds itself."
