CKD Guaranteed Retinal Collagen Gua Sha Face Serum 1.35 fl oz — Lifting, Hydrating

CKD Retinal Collagen Gua Sha Face Serum is a lightweight daily serum that combines low-molecular collagen, retinal, and hydrating actives to help skin look firmer, plumper, and smoother.

This Korean-inspired formula blends 300-Dalton low molecular collagen with retinal, hyaluronic acid, elastin, and flexible liposome delivery for deeper absorption. Designed for use morning and night, the serum layers under creams or makeup and is compatible with a gua sha or facial massage routine to boost circulation and smoothing effects. The texture is fast-absorbing and non-greasy, so it fits easily into multi-step skincare rituals.

How does the serum help improve firmness and elasticity?

The product uses very small collagen molecules that can penetrate more readily to support surface plumpness and a lifted appearance. Retinal supports the look of firmer skin by promoting smoother texture and complementing collagen-supporting ingredients. Regular use aims to deliver a visibly firmer look without heavy or oily residue.

• Contains 300-Dalton low molecular collagen for improved absorption
• Retinal helps smooth fine lines and refine texture
• Flexible liposomes enhance delivery of active ingredients

Will this serum reduce the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet?

Retinal is included to target visible fine lines, helping skin appear more refined over time when used consistently. The hydrating blend plumps the skin surface, softening the look of shallow lines. It’s formulated to complement targeted treatments and daily moisture routines rather than replace professional procedures.

• Retinal targets fine lines and superficial texture
• Hyaluronic acid and elastin add temporary plumping
• Daily application supports gradual visual improvement

How should I use this serum in my routine and with a gua sha tool?

Apply a few drops to clean, slightly damp skin and gently press in; follow with moisturizer or SPF in the morning. For gua sha, use the serum as a smooth glide medium and perform gentle upward and outward strokes for a few minutes. The non-sticky texture helps the tool move without tugging, enhancing circulation and product distribution.

• Morning or evening: after cleansing, before heavier creams
• Use 2–3 drops per application; layer under SPF for daytime
• Suitable as a glide for gua sha or facial massage tools

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

Formulated to be lightweight and fast-absorbing, the serum suits combination and many normal skin types. Those with sensitive skin should patch-test first, especially because retinal can increase sensitivity for some people. Start with every-other-night use to assess tolerance before increasing frequency.

• Light, non-greasy texture works for combination skin
• Patch test recommended if you have reactive skin
• Begin with reduced frequency to build tolerance to retinal

Who is this for? This serum is aimed at people seeking a daily anti-aging moisturizer that supports firmer-looking skin, adds noticeable hydration, and layers well under other products. It’s ideal for anyone wanting a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula to complement massage tools like gua sha, or for those who prefer Korean-style multi-step routines. If you are new to retinal or have highly reactive skin, consider starting slowly and consult a skincare professional for personalized guidance.
