Retinol against zombie cells
When combined with 0.1% Retinol, it delivers results superior to 0.5% Retinol firmer-looking skin, reduced wrinkles and dark spots while significantly minimizing side effects such as stinging, redness, and dryness.
Retinol designed for beginners, Tungnol Serum has been clinically proven to visibly reduce wrinkles in 28 days while targeting zombie cells, the hidden cause of skin aging. Gentle and non-irritating, it helps improve skin smoothness, even tone, and hydration. Perfect for both first-time retinol users and those seeking results backed by real evidence.
Clinically researched under the supervision of dermatologists at Dermscan Asia with 21 Asian volunteers:
One of the key differences that makes Tungnol Serum stand out from typical Retinol Serums is the inclusion of Eterwell™ Youth, a powerful booster that helps target zombie cells (senescent cells). These are damaged cells that can no longer divide but remain in the skin, sending disruptive signals that cause surrounding cells to deteriorate eading to premature skin aging.
By eliminating zombie cells, the root cause of aging at the cellular level is addressed, helping skin become smoother with reduced wrinkles. Research has also confirmed that when Eterwell™ Youth works together with Retinol, collagen production is boosted by up to 54% a crucial key to youthful, resilient skin.
Another unique feature of Tungnol Serum is the addition of ALGAKTIV® RetinArt, a booster specifically designed to enhance the performance of retinol. Research has shown that combining 0.1% Retinol with 1% ALGAKTIV® RetinArt delivers wrinkle-reducing results superior to 0.5% Retinol, but with greater gentleness no stinging, redness, or dryness.
By amplifying retinol’s benefits without requiring high concentrations, ALGAKTIV® RetinArt ensures maximum efficacy while remaining skin-friendly, making it an ideal choice for those just beginning their retinol journey.
If you are just starting with retinol, choosing the right concentration is key. Retinol 0.1% (Microdose Retinol) is considered the most suitable strength for beginners. It allows the skin to gradually adapt, reducing the risk of irritation, while still effectively stimulating cell turnover and boosting collagen production.
Research has shown that 0.1% Retinol provides visible wrinkle reduction and skin renewal benefits. Tungnol Serum uses Retinol Encapsulation Technology to stabilize pure 0.1% retinol and release it gradually, ensuring continuous nourishment without damaging the skin.
So, if you’re wondering which retinol to start with, the answer is: choose a low-strength, research-backed Retinol Serum like Tungnol Serum—clinically proven to deliver results in just 28 days without irritation.
The key ingredients in Tungnol Serum are carefully designed and selected based on research to ensure both high efficacy and skin gentleness. Each ingredient works effectively on its own, but when combined, they create a synergistic effect—enhancing each other’s benefits for more visible wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation.
Encapsulated Retinol enhances stability, minimizes irritation, and effectively stimulates skin cell renewal reducing wrinkles and restoring a smoother skin structure.
Restores skin structure for elasticity and firmness, helping reduce crow’s feet wrinkle depth by 9% in 28 days. Mimics the action of growth factors to stimulate cell-to-cell communication.
Soothes the skin and reduces irritation while boosting hydration and restoring the skin barrier.

Apply evenly over the face at night, avoiding the eye area. For the first 2 weeks, use every other day to allow the skin to adjust to retinol. Once the skin adapts, increase frequency to nightly use. Always follow with a moisturizer and apply sunscreen every morning.

A: Tungnol Serum is not just another retinol. It combines 0.1% Retinol with two powerful boosters, including ingredients that target zombie cells—the hidden cause of skin aging. This synergy makes it more effective than 0.5% Retinol in reducing wrinkles, smoothing skin, and restoring a visibly youthful look.
A: Retinol does not thin the skin. In fact, it stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers, making skin stronger and denser over time. Dryness, stinging, or peeling that some people experience usually comes from starting with too high a concentration. This can be avoided by beginning with a lower strength (such as 0.1% Retinol), applying it every other night at first, and following with a moisturizer for hydration—plus daily sunscreen in the morning.
A: Retinol should be avoided in combination with skincare products that may cause higher irritation, such as strong exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA), high-strength Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), potent acne treatments, or other topical medications with irritating effects. It’s best to alternate them—either on different days or at different times of the day.
