Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Retinal Elastic Eye Patch

What is this product?

A ginseng-water hydrogel eye patch with a trace amount of retinal (0.01 ppm), plus adenosine, centella, ceramide NP and a peptide for a gentle firming and soothing option. The retinal level is extremely low, so it should be treated as a hydrating and soothing patch rather than a strong retinoid treatment.

What makes it different?

Ginseng root water sits third in the ingredient list with a printed 10,094 ppm concentration, making it the structural backbone of the serum. Retinal appears late in the list at only 0.01 ppm, far below typical retinoid leave-on levels, paired with adenosine and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 for a low-irritation firming angle. The base is a gum-based hydrogel without added fragrance, essential oils or drying alcohols.
