Miracle Muse Stiva A Cream Retinal

Stabilized 2.5% Retinal Cream with Patented Niosome Technology

Retinal is notoriously unstable—light, heat, and air can quickly degrade it. This cream encapsulates retinal in niosome capsules to keep it stable and effective. Using patented technology (Patent No. 10-2334706), it's designed to deliver active retinal deep into the skin texture intact. Recognized by Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as a dual-functional cosmetic for brightening and wrinkle improvement, it contains niacinamide (brightening) and adenosine (wrinkle improvement).

Gentle Formula, Clinically Tested for Low Irritation

This formula has completed both low-irritation and sensitive skin irritation tests conducted by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences. If you're new to retinal, start by using a small amount every other evening for two weeks, then gradually work it into your nightly routine. Always follow up with sunscreen the next morning.

A Blend That Delivers Firmness and Hydration Together

Beyond retinal, this cream is packed with ingredients that support overall skin condition.

• EGF, FGF, IGF (growth factors that help revitalize skin)
• L-Arginine (balances oil and moisture)
• Moringa Seed Extract (patented moringa peptide complex)
• Propanediol, Trehalose (boost hydration and luminosity)

It's ideal for those concerned with dull complexion, fine lines, and loss of firmness. You can use it not only on the face but also on the neck, backs of hands, and other areas of the body—and it's suitable for men, too. Store it in a cool place between 3–10°C to help maintain retinal stability even longer.

As the final step in your evening skincare routine

Apply retinal cream as the last step, after toner, essence, and serum have fully absorbed. A well-hydrated base allows the retinal to penetrate more effectively and comfortably. Avoid layering it over oils or balms, as they can interfere with absorption — order matters here.

Evening use only, with SPF the next morning

Retinal is light-sensitive, so it's best reserved for your nighttime routine. The morning after using retinal, always finish your skincare with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin. If daytime use is unavoidable, SPF is non-negotiable.

Start slowly and give your skin time to adjust

• First 2 weeks: Every other evening only, use a small amount (about 2mm) on targeted areas of concern
• From week 3 onward: You can begin using it nightly, applying a rice grain-sized amount (about 4mm) across the entire face

Everyone's skin responds differently, so we recommend following this gradual introduction. For areas of particular concern, you can apply a second thin layer.

Pairing suggestions based on your skin goals

If fine lines and firmness are your focus, layer a peptide serum underneath before sealing it in with this cream. For added tone-evening benefits, combine it with a niacinamide essence for a synergistic effect. If you experience sensitivity or redness, pair it with a soothing cream rich in calming ingredients to help keep skin comfortable.

Important reminders when using retinal

Avoid using high-strength vitamin C, physical scrubs, or AHA/BHA products on the same evening — alternate them on different nights if needed. Store in a cool place (3–10°C) to help maintain retinal stability over time. If you notice unusual reactions such as red patches, swelling, or itching, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Not suitable for children under 3 years of age.
