The Protocol

1. Cleanse 2. Soothe (Serum) 3. Renew (Retinol PM) 4. Protect (SPF AM)

The Ritual Components

1. Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser (150 ml) Gentle Base

A low-pH foaming cleanser with deep-sea mineral water and panthenol. Clarifies without disrupting the barrier—perfect preparation for active treatments.

2. Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Serum (60 ml) Barrier Buffer

An unscented, soothing serum fortified with Centella. Acts as a "buffer" to calm and reinforce the skin prior to retinol application.

3. COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream (20 ml) Active Renewal

A beginner-level retinol (0.1%) with adenosine. Gently supports turnover to refine texture and elasticity with minimal irritation risk. (Use PM only).

4. BoJ Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (50 ml) Vital Defense

A lightweight daily SPF50+ enriched with rice extract. Since retinol increases photosensitivity, this broad-spectrum protection is essential.

How to use  

Night only, 2–3×/week to start. Cleanse → (optional) hydrating toner → pea-size retinol → moisturizer. After 2–3 weeks, increase to every other night if comfortable. Daytime: sunscreen SPF is mandatory. Avoid mixing with strong acids on the same night.

What it is & why it works  

A beginner-friendly routine that pairs low-strength retinol with barrier-supporting hydrators to reduce irritation. Layers are intentionally simple: soothe → seal → strengthen, so skin stays calm while retinol does its job.

How do I use & layer this?  

AM: Cleanse (gentle wake-up wash) → Tone/Mist (quick hydrating sip) → Treat (essence/serum/ampoule) → Eye cream (tap gently around the eye area) → Moisturize (seal in hydration) → SPF (don’t skip!).
PM: Double cleanse (oil/balm to remove makeup & SPF → water-based cleanser) → Tone/Mist → Masks or Devices (optional; 2–3 times a week) → Treat (essence/serum/ampoule) → Eye cream → Moisturize.

New to K-Beauty? Follow the “thin → thick” rule: start with watery (toner/essence) → then lighter serums → then cream → finish with sunscreen in the morning.
Caution: Avoid layering strong acids (AHA/BHA/PHA/peeling solutions) with retinoids on the same night, and introduce actives slowly if you have sensitive skin.
