SeoulCeuticals Retinol Night Serum 1% Liposome — 97.5% Snail Mucin, Hyaluronic Acid (1 oz)

SeoulCeuticals 1% Korean Retinol Night Serum is an evening facial treatment that blends a 1% retinol liposome with 97.5% snail mucin, hyaluronic acid and bakuchiol to support smoother, more hydrated-looking skin.

This Korean-inspired night serum pairs a stabilized retinol liposome with a very high concentration of snail mucin and humectant hyaluronic acid, plus plant-derived bakuchiol. The formula is presented as a cruelty-free, paraben- and sulfate-free option designed to layer into your evening routine and target common aging concerns while addressing hydration and skin barrier comfort.

How does this serum fit into my evening skincare routine?

Apply the serum after cleansing and any thin water-based treatments, and before heavier creams or oils. Because it contains a retinol derivative, use it at night and follow with SPF during the day; patch-test first if you have very reactive skin.

• Use 2–3 times weekly at first, increasing frequency as tolerated.
• Apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck, avoiding the eye contour.
• Layer emollient moisturizer afterward to reduce potential dryness.

What active ingredients are in the formula and what do they do?

The serum combines a 1% retinol liposome with 97.5% snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, and bakuchiol for a multi-action approach. Each component contributes—retinol for skin renewal support, snail mucin for hydration and barrier comfort, hyaluronic acid for moisture retention, and bakuchiol as a plant-derived complement.

• 1% retinol liposome: stabilized vitamin A derivative for night application.
• 97.5% snail mucin: concentrated exudate that supports surface hydration and texture.
• Hyaluronic acid: attracts and holds moisture in the skin’s upper layers.
• Bakuchiol: botanical alternative used to complement retinol pathways.

Is this product suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

The formulation is marketed as suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, thanks to hydrating and soothing actives alongside a liposomal retinol that can reduce irritation compared with raw retinoic acid. Nonetheless, individuals with high sensitivity should introduce the serum slowly and monitor for reactions.

• Start with patch testing on the inner forearm or behind the ear.
• Begin usage every 2–3 nights, then increase if no irritation occurs.
• Combine with calming moisturizers or ceramide products if needed.

What safety and formulation notes should I know?

The product is cruelty-free and free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, and it emphasizes Korean-sourced ingredients. Avoid concurrent use with other strong actives (like high-concentration AHAs/BHAs) unless advised by a skincare professional.

• Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.
• Always follow with daytime SPF when using retinol products at night.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve potency.

Who is this for: This serum is aimed at people seeking a Korean-style nighttime treatment that combines a liposomal retinol with nourishing and hydrating ingredients. It suits those who want multi-targeted skincare—addressing texture, hydration, and early signs of aging—while preferring cruelty-free and free-from formulations. Ideal users include those comfortable introducing retinol into their routine and anyone looking to layer hydration-focused actives like snail mucin and hyaluronic acid alongside plant-derived bakuchiol.
