What it is?
What it is?
A nightly serum built around encapsulated retinal — the form of vitamin A that sits one single conversion away from what your skin actually uses.
Why retinal and not retinol
Your skin can't use retinol as it comes. It has to convert it twice: retinol → retinal → retinoic acid. Potency is lost at every step, which is why retinol asks for months of patience before anything shows.
Retinal skips the first conversion. One step instead of two — the same destination, reached far sooner, without pushing a high percentage to get there.
What that means for your skin
Visible change in weeks rather than months, and no sandpaper phase. Encapsulation releases the retinal slowly across the night, so your barrier keeps pace instead of playing catch-up.
The bottle
150 ml in an airless opaque pump. Retinal breaks down on contact with light and air — in a clear dropper bottle, half of what you paid for would be dead before you reached the bottom.
Lightweight and non-greasy. Layers under moisturiser without pilling. Fragrance-free. The pale gold colour is the retinal itself, not dye — a clear "retinal" serum should raise questions.
Not for you if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or already using prescription tretinoin.
How to use?
How to use?
Every evening, from night one.
1. Cleanse and dry completely — damp skin drives retinal in faster than your barrier can handle.
2. One pump, pressed into cheeks, forehead and chin. Avoid eyelids.
3. Moisturiser on top. Always.
4. SPF every morning. Not optional.
No adjustment period. Low-dose encapsulated retinal releases slowly enough that your skin takes it nightly from the start — and nightly is what gets results. Consistency beats intensity with retinal, every time.
If your skin ever feels tight, skip a night and moisturise. Keep acids and vitamin C for the mornings.
Not for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or alongside prescription tretinoin.
Key ingredients & benefits
Key ingredients & benefits
What's doing the work:
Encapsulated retinal (0.2%) — one conversion from the active form of vitamin A. Smooths fine lines, evens tone, refines texture. The encapsulation releases it slowly overnight, which is why it works without the sting.
Niacinamide — the counterweight. Strengthens the barrier while the retinal pushes it, fades post-breakout marks, calms redness.
Ceramides + cholesterol — the mortar between your skin cells. Replaces what retinoids typically strip, so you get renewal without dryness.
Centella asiatica (cica) — the calming agent. Soothes reactive skin and takes the edge off the adjustment period.
Panthenol + hyaluronic acid — hydration that lasts through the night, so you wake up soft rather than tight.
What you'll notice
Smoother texture, fewer visible fine lines, more even tone, less visible pores, brighter skin. Most people see the first change in texture around week three, and tone around week six.
What's not in it
No fragrance. No essential oils. No drying alcohols. No parabens.

Why nothing has worked
Butter sits on the surface. The mark is underneath.
Skin stretched. The dermis tore. The cells that rebuild collagen started the repair and stalled — and they’ve been sitting there dormant ever since.

“Best product ever to help diminish the appearance of stretch marks. Started using after giving birth and it has work wonders.”
★★★★★ Suriana W. Verified
“Retinol did nothing except make my skin peel. This is the first one I’ve stuck with — all marks on my hips have faded right down.”
★★★★★ Maria W. Verified
“After my second baby the stretch marks on my belly were dark and raised — the kind that made me avoid crop tops and two-pieces. No peeling, no tightness. By week 6 the texture was smoother and the purple marks started turning lighter. Now at 9 weeks they’re much softer and less noticeable.”

How it’s built
Gentle enough to repeat. That’s the whole design.
Every choice solves one problem: a retinoid you can use on a whole body, every night, for three months, without your barrier giving up.

Retinol
Retinol→Retinal→Active
Two conversions, so the percentage goes up. Higher percentage means peeling, which means skipped nights.
Retinal
Retinal→Active
One conversion, so 0.2% is enough. Low is what makes nightly possible, and nightly is the whole point.
Honest expectations
What tends to happen, and when.
Skin renews on a four-week cycle. This is what customers most commonly report, not a promise.
Week 2–3
Texture first
Marks feel smoother under your hand before they look different.
Week 4–6
Tone catches up
Red and purple marks calm towards your skin colour. Most people see it here.
Week 8–12
Older marks shift
Silver-white marks blur into the skin around them. Slower, but this is when.

Independent evaluations
What clinicians said about the formula.

Dr. Aisha Thompson
Gentle enough for deeper skin tones
“Most retinoids either do nothing on melanin-rich skin or trigger irritation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The 0.2% encapsulated retinal plus ceramides and niacinamide is one of the few formulas I can recommend for postpartum patients with darker skin without worrying about the barrier or dark marks worsening.”
Barrier supportLow irritationVitamin A
Dr. Keisha Reynolds
Finally something that works on the body
“I see a lot of new moms frustrated that face retinols are too strong or too small for stomach and hip marks. This is sized and formulated for the body, low enough concentration to use nightly, and the barrier lipids keep sensitive postpartum skin from reacting. Texture improvement is usually the first thing my patients notice.”

★★★★★ Angela A. VerifiedFinally something that didn’t irritate my skin
“I have deep brown skin and every retinol I’ve tried either did nothing or left me peeling and darker. Started this on my stomach and hips six weeks after my second baby. No stinging, no tightness. By week 5 the texture felt smoother under my hand and the purple marks are turning silver. Using the whole bottle like they said. Worth it.”

★★★★★ Jasmine R. VerifiedWish I had this after my first baby
“Used after my third. Marks on my hips and lower belly were dark and raised. Nightly use, no peeling at all. Eight weeks in they look softer and the color has lightened a lot. Skin doesn’t feel dry in the morning. Will repurchase.”
28 February 2026 -
★★★★☆ Tasha M. VerifiedHelped texture more than color
“Texture on my stomach is noticeably better and the newer red marks faded. Older silver ones on my thighs only lightened a little. Still happier than with the butters I was using. No irritation which is rare for me. Giving 4 stars because I hoped the old marks would go further.”
3 April 2026 -
★★★★★ Destiny L. VerifiedEven worked on 3-year-old silver marks
“I was skeptical because my marks from my first pregnancy were already silver and flat for years. Started using on hips and lower belly anyway. After almost 10 weeks the silver lines are thinner and less obvious under clothes. Not gone, but the biggest improvement I’ve gotten from anything. Skin feels stronger too.”

Before you ask
The questions we get most.
How long until I see something?
Texture at week two to three, tone at week four to six, older marks eight to twelve. Skin renews on a four-week cycle and nothing shortcuts it.
Will it work on old silvery marks?
More slowly, and less dramatically than on new pink ones. It improves the texture and blurs the edges so they catch the light less. Plan on twelve weeks, not four.
My skin is sensitive.
The dose is low and the release is slow, with centella and niacinamide underneath. If you’re very reactive, go every other night for the first week. Patch-test first.
I’ve just had a baby. When can I start?
Once you’ve stopped breastfeeding. Retinoids aren’t recommended during pregnancy or while nursing. Marks are still new and responsive for months afterwards, so waiting costs you little. Ask your doctor or midwife if you’re unsure.
Where on my body can I use it?
Stomach, hips, thighs, chest, upper arms. Gentle enough for the face too. Avoid eyelids, broken skin and anything sunburnt.
How long does a bottle last?
About four weeks nightly on stomach and hips, closer to three if you’re covering thighs too. Three bottles covers the full cycle.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
Email support@koreanskinsecret.com within 60 days. Full refund, no forms, and you keep the bottle.
When will it arrive?
Order before ORDER_CUTOFF and it ships the same working day from Los Angeles, CA. Tracked delivery in 5–7 business days.
Cosmetic product. It supports the skin’s natural renewal to improve the look and texture of stretch marks. It does not treat or remove scar tissue and is not a medicine. Results vary from person to person.
One last thing
You spent nine months giving your body away.
Thirty seconds a night, for the part of you that did the most, is not a lot to ask. Ninety nights from now you’ll either have a photo you want to show someone, or your money back.
