Can retinol really be barrier-safe and beginner-friendly?

Yes—with this clinically tested formula that combines pure retinol and centella in a soothing, low-irritation delivery system.

Innisfree Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule is a next-generation retinol treatment developed for sensitive, acne-prone, or first-time retinol users. At the heart of the formula is 95% pure retinol, encapsulated in the brand’s patented JEJU CICA LIPSOMLOGY™ technology—a delivery system that merges retinol with centella asiatica, ceramides, and Jeju soybean-derived hyaluronic acid to ensure deep absorption and minimal irritation.

This ampoule addresses acne, post-inflammatory pigmentation, rough texture, and the early signs of aging without triggering flaking, redness, or barrier disruption. Key supporting ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, green tea seed extract, and beta-glucan work synergistically to brighten, refine, and calm—making this a daily retinol you can actually commit to.

Clinically tested to reduce irritation by 88%, this is a no-purge, no-fuss retinol that delivers visible clarity and resilience—even on reactive skin.
