Fit by skin type
General, ingredient-based — not your personalized match.
See how this fits your skin
Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testInspired by the widespread popularity of Radio Frequency treatments, this serum harnesses Radio Frequency technology mechanisms to help promote a more lifted appearance for a bouncier complexion. Formulated with a unique blend of retinol and retinoid, it is an anti-aging powerhouse helping to visibly improve tautness and sagging.
Expert Retinol Super Bounce Serum is a cushioning serum from IOPE, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 45 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. It contains both silicones and oils, a combination that usually finishes smooth and slightly satin and sits well under makeup. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Glycerin and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin and Trehalose.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Squalane, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter and Madecassoside.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Madecassoside, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry), Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection and oil control. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
