I tested the $35 Korean Beauty Retinal Serum for Sensitive Skin.
Skincare Routine with Retinal
Application Tips:
- Nighttime Use: Apply the serum at night on clean, dry skin.
- Amount: Use one pump to cover your face, avoiding the eye area.
- Follow Up: Apply a nourishing moisturizer to seal in the serum.
Routine Suggestions:
- Simplicity: On retinal nights, keep your skincare routine simple. Avoid exfoliating acids and harsh active ingredients.
- Sun Protection: Use SPF during the day, as retinal increases sun sensitivity.
- Buffering Technique: If you experience sensitivity, try the "retinal sandwich" method by applying moisturizer before and after the serum.

Product Review
