SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Retinol Power Boosting Capsule Cream 50ml — Korean Retinol & Collagen Anti-Aging Cream
The Deep Collagen Retinol Power Boosting Capsule Cream is the active anti-aging step of SUNGBOON EDITOR’s Deep Collagen line — the one for those ready to go beyond hydration. It pairs the line’s low-molecular collagen with retinol, a peptide stack and skin-absorbing spicules, in a rich cream aimed at wrinkles, elasticity and texture renewal.
The “capsule” format keeps the retinol in yolk-shaped beads until you apply it, helping keep this notoriously unstable vitamin A active. The spicules (a marine-sponge component, listed as Hydrolyzed Sponge) are tiny micro-spikes that create temporary microchannels to boost absorption — the “power boosting” in the name.
What the Retinol Capsule Cream Does
- Targets wrinkles with retinol. Retinol is the best-proven topical for fine lines, elasticity and texture renewal — the real active workhorse of this cream.
- Firms and plumps with collagen. Low-molecular collagen and a full peptide stack support elasticity and a smoother surface.
- Boosts absorption with spicules. Micro-spikes create channels that help the actives penetrate — you may feel a mild tingle.
- Brightens and soothes. Niacinamide, panthenol and rosemary round out tone, comfort and barrier support.
A Clear Note: This Is Retinol
Some listings for this cream describe it as “retinal.” To be accurate: the ingredient list is retinol (not retinal/retinaldehyde). Both are vitamin A derivatives; retinal is one step closer to the active form, but this product contains retinol, which is the well-studied, widely-used anti-aging standard. We’d rather tell you exactly what’s in the bottle than repeat a label that doesn’t match the formula. Our retinol vs retinal guide explains the difference.
What Topical Collagen Can and Can’t Do
The retinol here is what does the real anti-aging work. The collagen, as everywhere in this line, is too large to rebuild your own — it plumps and hydrates the surface as a humectant, which is a genuine but surface effect. So think of this cream as a retinol treatment supported by hydrating collagen, not a collagen rebuild. Our collagen guide has the detail.
Who the Retinol Capsule Cream Is For
- Skin ready for an active anti-aging step — fine lines, loss of firmness, uneven texture
- Those who want retinol in a cushioned, collagen-rich base rather than a bare retinol serum
- Anyone in the Deep Collagen line who wants to step up from the hydrating serum to an active
Retinol is powerful, so a few cautions: it is a night product, it can cause dryness or purging while your skin adjusts, and it makes daily sunscreen non-negotiable. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding — check with your doctor. Browse retinol and collagen.
Key Ingredients in the Retinol Capsule Cream
- Retinol — the vitamin A derivative and best-proven active for wrinkles and elasticity, held in stabilizing capsules.
- Low-molecular collagen (Collagen, Soluble Collagen, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Atelocollagen) — surface plumping and hydration.
- Peptide stack — Copper Tripeptide-1, Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1), SYN-COLL and more, for firmness. More in our peptides guide.
- Spicules (Hydrolyzed Sponge) — micro-spikes that boost absorption of the actives.
- Niacinamide, Panthenol and 8 forms of hyaluronic acid — brightening, soothing and layered hydration.
- Jojoba and Olive oils, Beta-Carotene — nourishing and antioxidant support.
Texture and Finish
A rich cream in a hydrating gel base, with retinol and collagen capsules that break as you smooth it on. It absorbs to a plumped, comfortable finish. You may notice a mild tingle from the spicules — that’s the micro-spikes at work, and it settles quickly.
Why You’ll Love It
- Retinol in a cushioned base. A real active, buffered by collagen, peptides and hyaluronic acid for comfort.
- Capsule-stabilized. The format helps keep the retinol active until you use it.
- Absorption-boosting spicules. Micro-spikes help the actives sink in.
- A genuine peptide stack for firmness alongside the retinol.
- Honest labelling. It’s retinol, and the collagen is a surface plumper — no overclaiming.
How to Use the Retinol Capsule Cream
- Use at night, as the last treatment step before any final moisturizer.
- After cleansing and toner, smooth a small amount over the face, avoiding the eye area.
- If retinol is new to you, start 2–3 nights a week and build up as your skin tolerates it.
- Follow with a plain moisturizer if you need extra comfort.
- Wear sunscreen every morning — retinol makes skin more sun-sensitive.
- If you get dryness or flaking, scale back frequency rather than stopping altogether.
How to Add It to Your Routine
This is a PM step: cleanse → tone → (optional Deep Collagen serum) → this cream → moisturizer. Don’t layer it with other strong actives (acids, vitamin C) on the same night while your skin adjusts. The gentle Anti-Wrinkle Cream in Serum is a good hydrating partner under it.
Browse retinol, collagen and Korean Moisturizers. Daily sunscreen is essential with any retinol — see our retinol guide for how to start without irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it retinol or retinal?
The ingredient list is retinol, even though some listings call it retinal. Both are vitamin A derivatives — retinal is one conversion step closer to the active form and tends to work a little faster — but this cream contains retinol, the well-studied, widely-used anti-aging standard. We list it as retinol because that is what is actually in the formula.
What are the spicules and will they hurt?
Spicules are microscopic spikes from marine sponge (listed as Hydrolyzed Sponge) that create tiny temporary channels in the skin surface to help the actives absorb better. They do not hurt, but you may feel a mild tingle or prickle for a short while after applying — that is normal and settles quickly. If it feels genuinely uncomfortable, use less and less often, and avoid the product on broken or irritated skin.
How often should I use it?
Use it at night. If retinol is new to you, start 2 to 3 nights a week and build up gradually as your skin adjusts — going straight to daily is the fastest way to trigger dryness and flaking. Experienced retinol users can use it more often. Whatever your frequency, wear sunscreen every morning, since retinol makes skin more sun-sensitive.
Can I use it if I am pregnant?
Retinol and other retinoids are generally advised against during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so this cream is best avoided then — please check with your doctor. If you want a firming step during that time, the fragrance-free Deep Collagen Anti-Wrinkle Cream in Serum has no retinol and is a gentler alternative, but always confirm with your healthcare provider.
Should I get this or the Anti-Wrinkle Cream in Serum?
It depends on how active you want to go. The Anti-Wrinkle Cream in Serum is the gentle, hydrating, fragrance-free firming step — no retinol, good for sensitive skin or daily use. This Retinol Capsule Cream is the stronger treatment, with a real retinoid for wrinkles and texture, best at night and with more care. Many people use both: the serum daily, the retinol cream a few nights a week. If you are new to actives, start with the serum.
