ARENCIA Retinal Booster Shot 30ml

One step beyond retinol: 2% retinal intensive care

A high-performance spot serum powered by ARENCIA's exclusive Retin-A Complex 2%. Retinal is one step more advanced than retinol—it works faster on the skin while minimizing irritation, making it a next-generation firming ingredient. Target it wherever you need it most: around the eyes, smile lines, mouth area, or even neck wrinkles.

Clinically proven wrinkle improvement

In tests conducted by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences on adults aged 30 and over, visible improvement was confirmed in crow's feet, nasolabial folds, and perioral wrinkles, along with pore-tightening effects. It helps refine enlarged pores and smooth out uneven texture for a more polished complexion.

Calming actives lower irritation, boost efficacy

If you're concerned about retinal sensitivity, rest easy. Formulated with soothing ingredients like Byungpoong extract, ectoine, and ceramides, it delivers gentle yet effective care. Caffeine energizes the skin, while peptides offer targeted solutions for a range of concerns. The bouncy gel-serum texture glides on thin and adheres seamlessly, absorbing effortlessly wherever you apply it.

• If you're new to retinal, patch test on the inner forearm first. Start once a week and allow a two-week adjustment period
• This is a nighttime-only product. If used in the morning, always follow with sunscreen

Use after serum, before cream

The Retinal Booster Shot is a targeted serum designed to be used after cleansing, toner, and essence — right before your cream. Apply it as a spot treatment to areas that need extra attention: around the eyes, smile lines, mouth area, and neck wrinkles. It's meant for targeted use on specific concerns rather than all-over application, so it fits seamlessly into your existing routine.

Evening use only. If used in the morning, SPF is essential

This is a night care product formulated with retinal. Use it in your evening routine as a rule. If you must use it in the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Retinal can be sensitive to UV exposure, so it's best to avoid daytime use whenever possible.

Tap on lightly in small amounts for seamless adherence

Apply by tapping small amounts directly onto areas of concern. The gel serum texture adheres thinly to skin and wraps it in a supple, cushiony layer. It's gentle enough even for delicate areas like the eye contour, so feel free to dot it wherever needed.

Pair with firming-focused products for best results

If your goal is firming and elasticity, layering this with a peptide or ceramide cream creates a powerful synergy. For dry skin types, apply a hydrating essence first, follow with this booster, then seal everything in with a nourishing cream. The formula also contains caffeine, which helps target puffiness around the eyes.

First-time users: allow time for your skin to adjust

If you're new to retinal, do a patch test on the inner forearm before full application. For the first two weeks, start with once-a-week use to give your skin time to adapt. The formula includes soothing ingredients like centella extract, ectoin, and ceramides to help minimize irritation, but if redness or discomfort persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
