KSECRET - SEOUL 1988 Capsule Cream : Niacinamide 5% + Yuja (50ml)

K-Secret Seoul 1988 Capsule Cream: Niacinamide 5% + Yuja pairs niacinamide at a well-evidenced concentration with Korean citron extract — a daily brightening moisturizer without the irritation risk of higher-percentage niacinamide products.

K-Secret Niacinamide 5% + Yuja Capsule Cream at a glance

5% niacinamide is the evidence-backed range

Most of the clinical evidence for niacinamide's brightening, barrier-support, and pore-appearance benefits comes from studies using 2–5% concentrations. This cream sits at the top of that well-supported range rather than reaching for the higher 10–20% concentrations some brands market — those higher percentages haven't shown proportionally better results and carry a real irritation risk for many skin types. In plain terms: 5% is a sensible, evidence-aligned choice, not an under-dosed one.

Yuja, a Korean citron, contributes vitamin C and antioxidant compounds; it supports niacinamide's brightening effect but isn't a substitute for a dedicated vitamin C serum if that's what you're after.

One realistic note: niacinamide improves tone evenness and barrier function gradually, over several weeks of consistent use — it doesn't erase existing dark spots overnight, and it won't shrink pore size. Pore size is largely genetic; niacinamide can reduce the appearance of congestion-related enlargement, not the pores themselves.

How to use it

1. Apply morning and night after cleansing and toning.
2. Use a moderate amount and pat gently until absorbed.
3. Follow with sunscreen in the morning — not because this product requires it, but because sunscreen is the single most effective thing for the tone-evenness this cream is targeting.

Frequently asked questions

Is 5% niacinamide enough to see results?

Yes — most clinical evidence for niacinamide's benefits comes from the 2–5% range. Higher percentages haven't been shown to work proportionally better and can increase irritation risk.

Will this remove my dark spots?

It can improve tone evenness gradually over weeks of consistent use, but it won't erase existing pigmentation on its own. Consistent sunscreen use matters more for preventing new spots.

Can this shrink my pores?

No skincare product changes pore size, which is largely genetic. Niacinamide can reduce the appearance of congestion-related enlargement by keeping pores clearer.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Generally yes — 5% is within the well-tolerated range for niacinamide, though anyone new to the ingredient should patch test first.

Can I use this with a retinoid or vitamin C?

Yes, niacinamide layers well with both and doesn't require special spacing.

Do I need sunscreen with this product?

It's not required by the formula, but daily sunscreen is what actually prevents new dark spots and pairs well with what this cream is trying to do.
