Why did Jungmin decide to bring in retinol?

As I age, I am always on the lookout for the best anti-aging product and saw many articles on experts recommending retinol as the best solution even after many years! #Ksistersteam then started to deep dive into it deeper! While researching, we found out that retinol is the ultimate solution for all aging skin concern ladies so we studied hard during the past 1 year in order to only bring the best retinol for our #ksistersfam!

What is retinol and how it works?

Retinol, a derivative of Vitamin A which helps the skin cells to turnover faster so new skin cells will generate which results in smoother and even-looking skin! It is an essential nutrient for your skin to speed up healing, improve skin conditions such as acne (normalise oil production) prevent breakouts and supports the skin's immune system. Here are the benefits of using retinol in the long-run:

Anti-aging & wrinkles
Reduce & prevent acne
Pigmentation, age (sun) spots, freckles, photoaging
Stimulate collagen & elastin production
Improves & smoothens uneven skin texture

Unlike your toner, serum, or masks, you can't just simply slap retinol on your skin just like that. If you're new to retinol, it's always best to start slow with a pea-sized amount, or use it on alternate days and gradually increase the usage frequency over time! This is to avoid unwanted side effects and skin irritation!

SPF 🔆 is also very important when you use retinol. Always remember to apply sunscreen the next day! 👍🏻

Our selection criteria

Some of the criteria we looked out for was:

High yet gentle enough retinol IU for beginners
Individual packaging
Well protected & Deep absorbing retinol with triple stabilization system
Reliable company

With these points in mind and through several trials and tests with #Ksistersteam, we finally settled on Puremer's Retinol!

1. High yet gentle enough retinol IU for beginners

Puremer's retinol has high enough international unit (IU - an internationally accepted amount of a substance that is measured for the effectiveness of the ingredient), yet still gentle for all skin types and beginners! Retinol is an ingredient powerhouse that many experts rave about but also has many things to take into consideration upon your first usage.

If you apply too much percentage on your first usage, you might experience skin purging, peeling, and redness on your skin. Hence, we wanted to find a retinol that is higher than 2500IU (*Korea's MFDS recognition standard as retinol skincare) yet gentle enough on the skin.

In South Korea, the government only recognizes retinol as functioning skincare when it is above 2500IU and Puremer's retinol is 3300IU / 0.1%!

Why 3300IU Retinol?

Even though retinol shows visible results in the long run, many people still experience side effects and quit easily.

After years of research, Puremer found out that 3300IU is the MAGIC NUMBER! Of course, the IU number is important, but the most important factor is still consistency! With this in mind, Puremer strives to find the most optimized balance between effectiveness & minimizing side effects so you can actually finish the entire course without worrying!

2. Individual packaging

Puremer's retinol is individually packed (5g x 6ea) perfect for 6 weeks usage (1 box contains 6 tubes), whereas the usual retinol is packed in one full tube! As you know, retinol can be easily destroyed by oxygen, light & heat. Individual packaging is very important in order to prevent damage & ensure effectiveness!

3. Well protected & Deep absorbing retinol with triple stabilization system

Retinol is very hard to be stabilized. Puremer uses Triple Stabilization System to not only stabilize the retinol ingredients but also maximize the absorption! With this technology, retinol's structure transforms into the closest structure of the human skin cell so the absorption can be accelerated! This technology also ensures that it is well-protected and effective until the customers finish the last drop.

4. Reliable company

Puremer was launched in 2020 and its headquarter is South Korea's No.1 aesthetic leader specializing in esthetics for 27 years! It has over 10,000 business connections with clinics and hospitals! If you've been to Korea for any facial treatment, chances are you might have used their products before!

Key Ingredients

To maximize the effectiveness of retinol, Puremer has formulated these ingredients together to ensure efficacy!

Mung Bean Seed Extract (Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Extract)- Well known for anti-aging, brightening, and protect skin from harmful UV rays
Birch Bark Extract (Betula Alba Bark Extract) - Improve skin barrier & Hydration
Yellow Dock (Rumex Crispus Root Extract) - Anti-inflammatory
Ceramide NP - Improves & hydrates your skin.
Beta Glucan - Improve skin barrier, eczema, or acne issues.
Color & Preservative Free - No extra chemical coloring as it's pure Vitamin A ingredient.

1 Box contains 6 tubes which is suitable for 6 weeks usage.
After cleansing, apply your usual skincare routine: toner > essence/serum > retinol. Take a pea-sized amount of retinol and apply it on areas with wrinkle concerns.
When first introducing retinol to your skincare routine, the key is to start with a pea-sized amount and use it on alternate days for the first 1-2 weeks and increase usage frequency once your skin has adapted to retinol.
ONLY use retinol during nighttime skincare routine as retinol is weak against sunlight and it decreases retinol's effectiveness!
Apply SPF daily!
NOT recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding ladies!
Retinol makes your skin cell turnover faster hence it is normal to experience redness, itchiness and stinging on the skin. If the condition persists, please consult a doctor immediately.
Store it away from sunlight and keep it away from children.

It is recommended to use retinol for 18 weeks or longer for best and visible results!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUREMER RETINOL & JUNG BEAUTY BABY PORE KIT?

Baby Pore Kit is a skin detox and pore tightening program. It decongest & tightens pores by removing excess sebum, dead skin cells and dirt built-up.

Retinol DOESN’T EXFOLIATE but works on a more profound level to stimulate cell turnover from the deeper skin layers up (not uppermost layers!). Once absorbed into skin, it is “signalling” living skin cells to make healthier, younger cells - which is by collagen LOVES retinol because it improves collagen stimulation!

Baby Pore Kit is a professional homecare program with more instant results, but think of Retinol as a long-term regular anti-aging & acne-care step!

HOW TO USE BOTH TOGETHER?

Avoid using both on the same day as it might cause too much stress on the skin! On days you’re using Baby Pore Step 1 Mask, skip retinol cream. Resume retinol cream the following night.
