Following him, Professor Zhang Tianfeng from Fudan University in China explained the skin benefits of retinol and research on its application in cosmetics.

Amorepacific's Research Executive Byunggeun Chae from the Amorepacific Technology Research Institute, who presented the results of retinol research continued since 1994, introduced technologies that maximize retinol's efficacy while minimizing irritation, expanding its application from localized areas to the entire face under the theme "27 Years of Innovative Retinol Research."

The final speech was delivered by Heo Chuan-chuan from Amorepacific Shanghai R&I Center, who presented on the efficacy of retinol regarding sagging and other concerns.

Seobyeonghui, head of the Laneige Beauty & Life Research Institute and chairperson of the event, said, "This global symposium was a meaningful occasion to discuss in-depth research results and outstanding technologies related to retinol ingredients," adding, "We will continue research to develop innovative products that provide immediate solutions to skin problems faced by customers worldwide."
