I first tried this retinol product when I heard about its benefits while living abroad. Honestly, I still haven't found anything that gives such immediate results as the Paula's Choice retinol. ♥️Improved skin texture Personally, I noticed my skin texture getting better. I used it together with niacinamide as I heard they work well in combination, and I felt the improvement in texture quite quickly. When applying makeup or washing my face, the feel of my skin seemed enhanced. While I can't say my pores completely disappeared, I definitely felt like my skin was less saggy. ♥️Blemish improvement I don't usually have many blemishes or cystic acne. However, I used to get the occasional pimple or two. After using this retinol serum, they've noticeably decreased.
Cons🖤It's quite rich Even though I only applied it at night as recommended for retinol products, it still felt oily. I have combination dehydrated skin that leans towards extremely oily. In summer, my face and hair get so greasy and sticky, I look like I haven't washed in days. This product has a honey-like texture, which makes it feel very rich. 🖤Don't expect dramatic brightening With any skincare product, it's best not to expect dramatic brightening effects. It may improve your complexion, but it won't make your skin noticeably lighter. 🖤Deep wrinkles need more time I'll need to use it longer to see effects on my nasolabial folds!
TipWith retinol, you should gradually increase the amount you use. Once your skin adapts well, you can use the full recommended amount to avoid irritation!

Those tiny blemishes that pop up occasionally? They vanish after applying this and getting a good night's sleep. It's such a perfect match for my skin that I always keep it on hand like a go-to remedy.
ConsIt does have a slightly rich feel to it. Those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy.
TipI sometimes mix it with other products during the serum step, and in summer, I occasionally use it as the final step in my skincare routine.

I didn't even need to apply a face oil, it was that good.
ConsIt's a bit too greasy to use in the morning. I think it's better to use it in the evening.
TipUsing it with a night cream in the evening makes my skin feel incredibly moisturized in the morning.

It applies evenly across the entire face and absorbs well with just one pump.
ConsThe formula feels extremely oily. It's like an oil explosion on the skin when applied, but then it becomes powdery over time. I recommend testing for any retinol side effects before using it all over your face. You may experience a miraculous transformation where your entire complexion changes to a different skin type.
TipJust because something contains retinol doesn't mean it will make you look as youthful as a goddess. The real miracle lies in the hands of the divine.

TipPlease pat it in thoroughly to absorb it completely.

ConsIt's a bit disappointing to use this as an eye cream. When applied around the eyes, it stings quite a lot I'm not sure if it's oily, but after applying, it shimmers like sesame oil
TipAfter doing a sheet mask and applying a nourishing cream or moisturizer, when you apply this, you can see the coated effect along with a plump skin the next day

It's not irritating and I like it.
ConsFirst, I thought the amount was a bit small, and I felt it was a bit oily and greasy, so I had the impression that the oil content was quite strong.

ConsIs it that it has too much oil for oily skin? Whether it would be good for long-term use is uncertain.

ConsThe fact that it can only be applied at night is a point. When first applied, the feeling is greasy and oily, which can be burdensome. However, once absorbed, it's fine, but it does take some time.
TipIt's best to apply it every night and avoid the eye area as directed in the usage instructions. With long-term use, you'll definitely see the effects. Haha
