K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Capsule Cream — Niacinamide 5% + Yuja 50ml

Brightening, hydration, and glow — all in one satisfying burst. The K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Capsule Cream is a uniquely textured Korean moisturiser that combines the everyday skin-refining power of 5% Niacinamide with vitamin-rich Yuja (Citron) extract to visibly fade dark spots, post-acne marks, and dullness while promoting a luminous complexion.  What makes it genuinely special is its dual-texture formula — a hydrating gel base with Vitamin C capsules that burst upon application, delivering freshness and potency with every use. 

Infused with 50% Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Water, Collagen Water, multiple forms of Sodium Hyaluronate, and Squalane, it delivers deep, lasting hydration  that feels weightless on the skin. The result: a glow-first moisturiser that actually pulls its weight as a treatment too.

Why it works:

• 5% Niacinamide — brightens dull areas, fades dark spots and post-acne marks, minimises pores, and reinforces the skin barrier  with consistent daily use
• Yuja (Citrus Junos) Fruit Oil — rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, it helps even skin tone and boosts natural radiance — Korea's most treasured citrus ingredient for glass skin glow
• Vitamin C Capsules (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) — encapsulated actives burst on application delivering freshness and potency  with a stable, non-irritating form of Vitamin C that amplifies the brightening action of the Niacinamide
• 50% Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Water — an antioxidant-rich botanical water packed with Vitamins C, E, and Beta-Carotene that primes the formula for maximum glow
• Collagen Water — supports skin elasticity and plumpness, giving the cream its signature soft-bounce finish
• 6 types of Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Potassium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer) — moisturise, smooth texture, and increase elasticity by intensely saturating skin with moisture at multiple depths 
• Squalane & Shea Butter — a rich yet non-greasy emollient duo that softens, conditions, and seals moisture in without clogging pores
• Jojoba Seed Oil & Olive Fruit Oil — nourishing plant oils that strengthen the skin's lipid barrier and prevent overnight moisture loss
• Adenosine — clinically proven to soften fine lines and support skin firmness over time
• Rosemary Leaf Extract & Beta-Carotene — antioxidant protection against environmental stressors and UV-induced skin damage
• Free from harsh alcohols, parabens, and sulfates  — suitable for all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone

How to use: Apply as the last step of your skincare routine. For oily skin, mix the transparent gel with one Vitamin C capsule before applying for a lightweight, non-greasy finish. For dry skin, apply the full formula — gel and capsule together — for maximum nourishment and glow.  Gently pat over face and neck until fully absorbed. Use morning and evening. Always follow with SPF in the morning.

Suitable for: All skin types · Especially dull and dry skin, pigmentation, uneven texture, and troubled skin  · Sensitive & acne-prone skin · Free from harsh alcohols, parabens & sulfates · Made in Korea 

Why Seoulma recommends it:

The K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Capsule Cream occupies a very specific and very valuable niche in a skincare routine — it's the moisturiser that also does the brightening work, so you don't need a separate treatment step. For anyone who wants a streamlined routine without sacrificing results, this is the product that makes that possible.

The dual-texture concept is also genuinely clever, not just a gimmick. Most brightening creams pre-mix their Vitamin C into the formula, where it slowly oxidises and loses potency over time. By keeping the Vitamin C in separate encapsulated capsules that you burst fresh on your skin with each application, K-SECRET ensures the active ingredient is at full strength every single time you use it. That's a real formulation decision that has a real impact on how well the brightening actually works.

The customisation aspect is something our customers love too. Oily skin types can use just the gel for a lightweight, shine-free finish. Dry skin types can use the full capsule for a richer, more nourishing result. One product, two routines — that kind of versatility is rare at this price point.

We recommend it as the perfect everyday moisturiser for anyone working on skin tone and glow, especially when paired with the K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Glow Serum underneath. Together they make one of the most complete brightening duos we carry — the serum does the deep targeted work, the cream locks it in and adds the glow on top
