I'm using it without any blemishes, and I plan to repurchase.
ConsThe price... I'll use one more bottle and then upgrade to one with bakuchiol.

She has sensitive skin like me, so I was a bit concerned, but fortunately, she's using it well without any blemishes. Both my mom and I have oily skin that's extremely dry, so we were worried that using a retinol product might make it even drier. The texture feels slightly rich but not overly greasy, and we've been using it well so far! I understand this product has a lower retinol concentration, so I'm not sure if there's been a noticeable improvement in wrinkles. However, I can tell that my mom's skin texture has improved. She still says she's concerned about her fine lines, but her complexion, which she always complained was dull, seems a bit clearer now, and her overall skin condition looks better than before. It's not a dramatic change, but there's definitely an effect! Since retinol is practically the only ingredient that stimulates collagen production when applied, I plan to buy her another one with a slightly higher concentration once we finish the Paula's Choice one. We'll keep at it until those fine lines disappear!
ConsI hesitated a bit about paying this price for just 30ml. However, I noticed that other retinol products don't include ingredients like oils that prevent skin dryness. I guess they're targeting a younger demographic. I chose Paula's Choice thinking it might be better for older individuals like my mom.
TipEveryone knows sunscreen is a must! Also, it's not recommended to use retinol products with galvanic massage devices. My mom initially broke out with lots of small bumps after using this and then doing a galvanic massage.

Purchased due to the representative anti-aging ingredient retinol and antioxidant components Fragrance-free, transparent liquid Skin type - Combination, sensitive, troubled skin Price - Obtained at around 40,000 won Usage period - Used for about 4 weeks since purchase Feeling of use - Has an oily feel, but does not float on the skin and is quickly absorbed (oily ingredients tend to be itchy and cause blemishes, but this product has none of that) Effect - At first, no, but gradually the skin seems to become more radiant and firm It seems to have tightened the sagging skin *The amount is small, but the oil-based ingredients can be squeezed out a little to apply sufficiently
ConsPackaging - Cannot gauge how much of the contents have been used A little frustrating~
TipUsing it together with a calming moisturizer~ Purchased and using it together to restore the damaged skin barrier

When absorbed into the skin, it leaves a soft and supple feel. I apply it for wrinkle management and prevention, though I'm not sure about the effectiveness - I use it because it's said to be good for wrinkles. I don't expect the cosmetic to completely eliminate wrinkles. My face is prone to oil explosions and breakouts, but I didn't experience any breakouts while using this product. For those concerned about clogged pores and breakouts, you don't need to worry too much. It absorbs well. Results may vary from person to person, though.
ConsDue to the nature of retinol, it needs to be protected from light, so I can't really tell how much product is left. I only use it at night, but it seems to run out faster than expected. I think I used it for around three months?? But it may have been less than that. It's expensive, the amount is small, and to be honest, I'm not sure about the effectiveness. I'm using it as a preventative measure.

I've been using it consistently and haven't experienced any issues. As a result of using it regularly, my previously rough skin has improved significantly and become much softer.
ConsI'm a bit disappointed that the remaining product quantity is not easily visible. The price-to-quantity ratio could be better.

But I think I'm doing okay. I'm using this as an eye cream substitute, and it feels lighter than a cream, so I'm using it well. It could be just my imagination, but on the days I use it, my skin does feel less dry.
ConsThe volume is quite small, and it seems a bit pricey. The packaging is convenient to use, but since the pump can't be opened, I can't tell if I've used it all up. I have a feeling I end up wasting some.
TipGiven the price burden and the inconvenience of applying it, I use the recovery serum during the day and this product at night.

It has good spreadability and doesn't feel particularly irritating. As someone with sensitive skin and acne-prone face, I'm quite particular about choosing skincare products, but this one didn't cause any breakouts. However, if you've already been using retinol products like AHA and BHA well, you may not see dramatic improvements by just using this casually.
ConsI bought this based on the claim of 'honey-like skin', but I didn't really notice that effect.

ConsIt can only be used at night, and there's the inconvenience of having to apply sunscreen in the morning, but overall it's been working well.

It has no fragrance and is quickly absorbed. If applied consistently, it seems like it will help improve wrinkles.
ConsThe texture has a slightly honey-like, hair essence-like feel. It's fortunate that after absorption, there's no issue.
TipUse just a bean-sized amount.
