Common questions
Is Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal safe for fungal acne?
It contains 6 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (sorbitan olivate, cetearyl olivate, glyceryl stearate, polyglyceryl-10 oleate); plant oils & butters (macadamia ternifolia seed oil); and 1 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum : Ginseng + Retinal suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains retinol, which often irritates at first, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
