K-Secret SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream is a Korean retinal eye cream made with a 4% retinal liposome and fermented bean. Used at night, it helps fine lines, crow's feet and dry, crepey-looking skin around the eyes look smoother over time, so it suits normal, dry and mature skin. Many shoppers know it simply as the Seoul 1988 eye cream, and we sell it original from K-Secret in 30ml, shipped from Seoul with Cash on Delivery.

Is K-Secret Retinal Eye Cream right for your skin?
Best for
- Early fine lines and crow's feet
- Dry, thin or crepey-looking skin around the eyes
- People already using a retinoid on the face who want one made for the eye area
- Anyone who wants a single, simple nightly eye step
Skip it, or patch-test first, if
- You are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding: ask your doctor first, as with any retinoid
- Your eye area is very sensitive, eczema-prone or easily irritated: patch-test first
- Your dark circles come from genetics or hollows under the eyes: no eye cream changes these much; concealer helps more
- You already use another retinoid around the eyes: use only one
How do you use K-Secret Retinal Eye Cream?
Evening
- Cleanse and apply your usual toner and serum.
- Take a rice-grain amount of cream for both eyes.
- Tap it gently along the orbital bone with your ring finger, staying away from the lash line and waterline.
- Start 2–3 nights a week; increase slowly only if your skin stays comfortable.
Wear sunscreen every morning, including around the eyes, and sunglasses outdoors. If you feel stinging, redness or flaking, use it less often, or apply a plain moisturiser first to buffer it.
What are the key ingredients in K-Secret Retinal Eye Cream?
- Retinal (retinaldehyde) — a vitamin A form one step closer to the form skin uses than retinol; helps fine lines and texture look smoother over time
- Liposomes — tiny fat-based capsules that carry the retinal, so it is released more gently on delicate eye skin
- Fermented bean — a fermented bean ingredient that adds nourishing, skin-conditioning care
K-Secret Retinal Eye Cream vs K-Secret Retinal Serum 2%: which should you choose?
| K-Secret Retinal Eye Cream | K-Secret Retinal Serum 2% | |
|---|---|---|
| Area | Around the eyes | Whole face |
| Retinal liposome | 4% | 2% |
| Paired ingredient | Fermented bean | Black ginseng |
| Format | Eye cream | Serum |
| When to use | Night | Night |
Choose the eye cream if lines around the eyes are your main concern. Choose the serum for overall face texture and fine lines. Once your skin is used to retinal, you can use both on the same night: the serum on the face, the eye cream around the eyes, never both in the same spot.
How can you tell if your K-Secret Retinal Eye Cream is original?
- The box should be sealed, with the K-Secret name, the SEOUL 1988 line name and the ingredient list printed clearly; blurred printing or spelling mistakes suggest a copy.
- The cream should be smooth and even, without separation, lumps or a rancid smell.
- A price far below other trusted sellers usually means old stock or a fake.
- Check the batch code printed on the box and the bottle: the two must match, and the code should look printed, not stuck on. Every unit we sell is batch-code checked on arrival in Seoul, and we verify any code for free — see how to check if Korean skincare is original.

What are the benefits of Seoul 1988 eye cream?
It brings retinal, a vitamin A ingredient, to the eye area in a form made for delicate skin. With steady night-time use it helps fine lines and crow's feet look softer, and makes dry, crepey skin look smoother. Results take time, usually several weeks or more, and depend on daily sunscreen. It will not change dark circles caused by genetics or hollows.
Does Seoul 1988 eye cream really work?
Retinal is one of the best-studied ingredients for fine lines, so the idea behind this eye cream is sound. How well it works for you depends on steady use, a slow start and daily sunscreen. Most people notice smoother, softer-looking skin first and softer fine lines later. If you stop using it, the skin gradually returns to how it was.
Can I use Seoul 1988 eye cream on my lips?
It is better not to. Lips are thinner and more sensitive than the skin around the eyes, so a retinal cream can make them dry, peel or sting. Use a nourishing lip balm or lip sleeping mask instead. Keep the eye cream on the orbital bone around the eyes, away from the lash line and the corners of your mouth.
Is K-Secret retinal eye cream safe in pregnancy?
Like other retinoids, retinal is usually avoided during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, ask your doctor before using this eye cream. A retinoid-free eye cream, for example one based on centella such as Purito Seoul Wonder Releaf Centella Eye Cream, is a common choice during that time, but check it with your doctor too.
Can I use it with my retinol or retinal face serum?
Use one retinoid per area. If your face serum contains retinol or retinal, apply it to the face and keep this eye cream for the eye area only, rather than layering both around the eyes. Start each product on alternate nights, and if the skin becomes red, flaky or stings, cut back. Always wear sunscreen in the morning.
