4TH GENERATION RETINOL
Four forms of retinol, one formula without compromise.

FAQs
Everything you need to know before starting your routine with this retinol serum from Korean Essence.
How do I use the Bakuchiol Retinol Serum?
+
Twist off the gold cap and gently squeeze out a pea-sized amount through the narrow nozzle. Apply to clean, dry skin in the evening, before your moisturiser. Start with 2-3 times a week and build up gradually as your skin adjusts.
How quickly will I see results?
+
Many people notice a softer skin feel within a week or so. Visibly more even texture and reduced fine lines usually show after around 4 weeks of regular use, with continued improvement over 8-12 weeks.
Is the serum suitable for sensitive skin?
+
The formula is developed to minimise irritation compared with traditional retinol, thanks to bakuchiol and the balanced blend of retinol forms. We still recommend starting slowly and patch testing if your skin is very sensitive or reactive.
Do I need to wear sunscreen while using this serum?
+
Yes. The retinol forms in the serum can increase your skin's sensitivity to sun, so daily sunscreen is essential throughout. Apply the serum in the evening and protect your skin with SPF the next morning.
What makes this serum different from other retinol products?
+
Instead of a single, often strong form of retinol, the formula combines four complementary forms alongside bakuchiol. That delivers a more balanced action with less risk of the redness and flaking traditional retinol can cause.
Can I use the serum alongside my other skincare?
+
Yes, but avoid combining it with other strong acids or exfoliating products on the same evening to reduce the risk of irritation. Finish your routine with a hydrating cream for best results.
Is the serum suitable for dry or combination skin?
+
Yes. The lightweight but hydrating formula with squalane and collagen complex suits most skin types, including dry and combination skin, without feeling heavy or tacky.
How should I store the serum?
+
Store the tube tightly closed somewhere cool and dark, out of direct sunlight, as retinol can be broken down by light and heat. Use within 6 months of opening for best results.
