📜 The Genesis: Korea’s Very First Retinol (1997)

1. What is Retinol?

A derivative of Vitamin A that binds to the skin's retinol receptors, delivering powerful wrinkle-reducing benefits.

2. IOPE’s Bold Move

Back in 1997, IOPE achieved a massive breakthrough by launching Korea’s very first stabilized retinol product. Even during a tough economic climate for the parent company, they invested heavily and overcame the challenge of stabilizing pure, high-concentration retinol by wrapping it in micro-capsules.

3. A Skincare Phenomenon

After 85 clinical trials involving 2,644 participants, ‘Retinol 2500’ was born. It instantly took the beauty world and medical community by storm, making "Retinol" synonymous with wrinkle care.

IOPE revolutionized anti-aging in 1997 as Korea’s retinol pioneer, and today, their 11th-generation formulas still outclass professional treatments with unmatched, instant results.
