Usage

SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum

Start using it SLOWLY and in SMALL AMOUNTS!

We recommend gradually introducing this product to allow your skin to adapt, avoiding any possible irritation. Always use in the evening, applying 1-2 drops. Begin use 3 times a week, and gradually increase frequency to every other night, monitoring how your skin reacts.

Week 1-2

In the evening after cleansing your skin with a cleanser and applying your toner, essence, and/or serum and moisturizing cream, apply 1-2 drops to the most concerned areas, such as below the eyes, around the mouth, forehead, and neck.
Use it 2-3 times a week in the evening.

Week 3 - onwards

Every evening after cleansing your skin with a cleanser and applying your toner, essence, and/or serum and moisturizing cream, apply it to the entire face. Use it every other day.

*The "tolerance-building" phase can be shortened or extended according to individual skin reactions.

*Usage frequency should be gradually increased as well as the areas on which you will apply it.

SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream

The cream should be used in the evening routine at the final step, applying it after your toner, serum, and night moisturizing cream. Start the application from the corner of the eye, massaging gently. If this is your first time using retinol, it's recommended to start slowly, beginning with once a week until your skin adjusts, and then increasing to daily use. Do not use it in the same routine with exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA, etc.). Always pair it with a sunscreen in the morning to protect against harmful sun rays.

Suggestion: To avoid any side effects, such as dryness, apply a rich moisturizer around the eye area before using retinol cream, such as: BENTON Fermentation Eye Cream. Then apply the SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream.

Full list of ingredients

SKINFOOD Pink Grapefruit AHA Toner is a chemical exfoliating toner, highly effective at removing dead skin cells, dissolving blackheads and whiteheads caused by clogged pores and excess sebum. With a targeted concentration of AHAs (7% glycolic acid) and 0.1% PHA (gluconolactone), this toner gently clears away dead cells while maintaining proper levels of skin moisture. Meanwhile, the ceramide content helps deeply hydrate dry or combination skin, preventing a tight feeling. In addition, the formula with niacinamide and bakuchiol contribute to clarifying and refining the skin’s surface, leaving a brighter, healthier-looking complexion. The toner’s watery texture and refreshing citrus scent provide a fresh, cared-for sensation that makes your skin look more radiant and renewed. Use of this product increases sensitivity to harmful sun rays; therefore, applying sunscreen is essential.

The newest serum just launched by COSRX, The Vitamin C 23 Serum, is exclusively available at KORAL SECRETS! Formulated with a potent 23% pure vitamin C, this serum easily targets post-acne marks, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and skin dehydration. Vitamin C is known for its powerful antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radicals and various cellular damage. Furthermore, it stimulates collagen production to improve the signs of aging, boost elasticity, and prevent the formation of fine lines. Vitamin C also blocks the overproduction of melanin, which can easily occur from exposure to harmful UV rays. But it doesn’t stop here! The formula includes tocotrienol (vitamin E), which has antioxidant effects up to 50 times more powerful than tocopherol. The interaction between vitamins C and E doubles their effectiveness on the skin! Your skin will always feel hydrated thanks to the inclusion of hyaluronic acid, which maintains optimal moisture levels. This serum can also be easily used by individuals with sensitive skin, thanks to allantoin, which soothes and reduces inflammation. Just like vitamins C and E, this ingredient fights free radicals, adding antioxidant effects to this serum. This product is safe for use during pregnancy and suitable for all skin types.

The formula is hypoallergenic, vegan, dermatologically tested, and free from harmful and irritating ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances.
