Pros
Based on the YouTube video, it seems the pore improvement will be effective. I'll give it a try.
Cons
It might be irritating or ineffective. I'll have to see what happens.

Pros
I am mixing it with a soothing cream. After applying, it definitely becomes smooth and glossy the next day, and a slight radiance appears. It also gives a plump and bouncy feeling.
Cons
When I feel a bit fatigued, it can cause irritation or stinging. And since this was my first experience with retinol, I had various abnormal skin issues until my skin adjusted.
Tip
When mixed with a cream with a lot of moisture, it seems to quickly resolve the tight feeling.

Pros
I went to Olive Young and my friend said she uses this product, and her skin was glowing and firm the next day, so I bought it. I've been using it for 5 days now, and even when I'm tired, my puffy eyelids don't seem to go down. I wish my pores would shrink as well.
Cons
It stings! I'm not sure what's not agreeing with me, but my forehead and cheeks are stinging. It stings like I just went outside in the biting cold wind, even though I was only out for a bit. And the price is outrageous...on top of that, this cream might lead to breakouts on my nose and chin tomorrow.
Tip
It stings, so I applied it to my eyelids and neck. Ugh.

Pros
Even a small amount forms a moisturizing film-like layer and spreads evenly. I've been using it for a month now and can definitely feel my skin texture improving.
Cons
The high price is a downside. It may cause skin irritation for sensitive skin types. I also experienced some stinging and discomfort at first. But as I gradually increased usage, it got better. Consistent use seems necessary to see the full effects.
Tip
Do not apply this product immediately after exfoliating.

Pros
Compared to a cream-based formula, I think it absorbs very well and is quite light and thin! After it's absorbed, the oil film seems to be applied thinly. Since this is a wrinkle-improving product and it's summer, I refrigerated it for use, which I think is better. The color is kind of like burn ointment or Antipyrin, you know? It has that medicinal feel to it!
Cons
The scent is kind of mysteriously unscented, yet not quite unscented? When I tested it on the back of my hand in a small amount, it felt a bit irritated and some bumpy, reddish things came up... So I didn't try it on my face. 😭 I even tried it on my leg, and it stung a bit and became reddish and bumpy. 😭😭😭
Tip
It was fine when I used a very small amount at first, but when I increased the amount, I got this reaction. 😥 It seems like there are really good ingredients packed in, but for those with sensitive skin, please be sure to adjust the amount carefully when using it. 😊 If your skin is thin, your skin barrier is weak, you have atopic dermatitis, or you have trouble-prone sensitive skin, it's best to avoid this. 😥 By the way, I can't even use Innisfree products because they don't suit my skin. 😭

Pros
I used to never use vitamin-infused creams, but I applied for an event where they said the vitamin-infused cream would help remove pigmentation and provide whitening, and I won the product. After using it consistently up until now, my skin has truly become whiter and the pigmentation on my face has disappeared. My skin has definitely become clearer compared to before using it!
Cons
After using it, there was a bit of oiliness in the mornings and some stinging, since I have sensitive skin. There was also some peeling...
Tip
I'd recommend first calming the skin with an exfoliating pad or toner, and then applying the product.

Pros
The product has a yellow ointment-like texture and applies smoothly. I had high expectations after seeing a dermatologist recommend it on YouTube. Retinol-based products are generally considered the most effective for wrinkle improvement. The retinol family progresses in effectiveness and irritation from retinol derivatives, to retinol, retinal, and finally prescription-strength retinoids. For over-the-counter products, retinal is likely the best option. This product contains retinal and has a high concentration. Therefore, it's important to be especially careful with sensitivity and to provide plenty of hydration. I only used it every other evening, applying just a tiny amount. I found it to be less irritating than previous retinol products I've used. However, some irritation is still to be expected, and I'm still in the adjustment period. After using it, my pores appear slightly smaller and my skin feels mildly firmer. Even in this short time, I find the results quite dramatic.
Cons
If your skin condition is poor, it can be quite stinging. Those with atopic dermatitis or redness should avoid using this product.
Tip
You must apply sunscreen the next day and provide plenty of hydration.

Pros
1. I was able to use the product with confidence, as it is scientifically proven and has addressed the unstable aspects (minimized the opening size, etc.). 2. I was pleased to see the immediate changes in my skin the day after getting a good night's sleep (the quantity of closed comedones caused by skin barrier damage was reduced). 3. In a market flooded with numerous vitamin A products, this is a product I can truly trust and use (recommended by a dermatologist, with proven reviews). 4. With long-term use, I could visually confirm the changes in my skin (in terms of elasticity and wrinkles). 5. I was extremely satisfied with the product, as it is less irritating than retinoids (no excessive peeling) while being highly effective for the skin.
Cons
Although I was worried about the irritating ingredients, it was not as irritating as I had expected. After applying, there was a slight tingling sensation for about 10 minutes, but it was not a problem at all. ☆This product must be used only at night! If exposed to sunlight, it can produce phototoxic substances that may cause skin cancer, so be very careful.☆ ☆Pregnant women or those planning pregnancy should not use this, as there is a risk of fetal abnormalities.☆☆ ☆The price of 50,000 won for 20g may be burdensome, but if you simplify your skincare routine (no toner, only one cream), it would be similar to the combined cost for those who use it extensively. *The advanced technology used seems to provide good value, so I was satisfied with the product.
Tip
I was told by a dermatologist that for my skin, sun protection and hydration are sufficient. During the day, I minimize the impact of everyday light (electronic screens, UV rays) with a routine of vitamin C serum, Zeroids MD lotion, and Robitin sunscreen. At night, I felt that regeneration is extremely important, so I decided to add the Dr. Different vitamin A product to my routine of just using a moisturizer before bed. It seems great that it can accelerate skin cell turnover and provide anti-aging benefits. There are many moisturizers available, but I judge them based on whether the ingredients themselves are scientifically proven and align with my needs, rather than just reviews. With the abundance of cosmetic products, I believe it's essential for consumers to have knowledge to avoid confusion. That's why I only use products from brands like Zeroids and Estrarre that are hospital-grade and proven. Using this moisturizer together with the Dr. Different product has really helped my skin regain its healthy environment. If your skin is not sensitive and you want stronger effects, you could try this product as an introduction, and then get a retinol prescription from a dermatologist.

Pros
~not that much, just a slight redness? 🔆My real experience using this product ㆍI saw wrinkle improvement effects. But you have to use it consistently!! From about 3 months in, the fine wrinkles on my skin definitely disappeared. For deeper wrinkles, I'm going to get Botox... But the fine wrinkles definitely improved. You all know that collagen in the skin rapidly decreases from age 25 right? By the time you're in your 40s, only 50-70% of the collagen from your 20s remains. So it's best to start preparing from age 25, and even earlier for prevention. Skin care when you have it! Using this consistently, the wrinkles were definitely taken care of. But even better than the wrinkles was the improvement in skin texture! ㆍIt improves skin texture! When you apply retinal to the skin, it separates the gaps between the epidermal skin cells. This increases the cell turnover rate and promotes the shedding of dead skin cells. But that's why it can initially cause sensitivity. When I applied it, dead skin cells came up at first. But that's a natural phenomenon. After about 2 weeks of use, I adapted to it, and my skin surface actually became firmer and protein synthesis was promoted. As the skin thickened, sebum control also became better. I definitely noticed that about a month after using this, my skin became super smooth and glowy, and makeup applied really well. And with the hyaluronic acid in it, that makes sense right?
Cons
1. Side effects The principle is to start with a small amount. Moderation is key. As effective as it is, there can be some initial irritation. It can cause redness and a stinging sensation. In those cases, try reducing the frequency, using it every other day or every other week. Acclimating the skin is important!! In the beginning, the skin can become sensitive and generate more dead skin cells. If used improperly, it can also cause skin inflammation or discoloration during daytime use, so be sure to use it at night. It's vulnerable to light and oxygen, so apply it at night without fail. Using it during the day or in the morning will make your face turn dark. In the first month of use, there may be a lot of dead skin cell buildup or a reddening, constrictive irritation. Even as someone with seborrheic dermatitis, I was so sensitive at first that I only applied a little bit. There's a term called "retinoid dermatitis". In the initial stages of retinoid use, the inflammatory cells induced by the retinoid can temporarily break down the dermis, causing wrinkles to appear. However, this is just an initial phenomenon - just stick with it and keep applying consistently. Patience is key. 2. Price It's unreal that a 20g jar costs around 50,000 won. These days, you can get it tax-free at duty-free shops, which makes it cheaper. But back then, there wasn't even that option - you had to buy it directly from the website. It's ridiculously expensive... But I've been using it consistently. Now I just plan to buy it whenever I travel abroad, at the duty-free shops. 3. Apply it thinly enough to be absorbed. Otherwise, your face will turn yellow. The formula is yellowish, so if you apply it too thickly, the unabsorbed residue will build up, making your face look yellow.
Tip
1. Apply this immediately after cleansing your face, before any serums, to maximize the effects. 2. Wait about 5 minutes after applying, then thoroughly moisturize. Moisturizing is essential to protect the damaged skin barrier when using this! 3. Using it with a vitamin C ampoule doubles the efficacy, but also doubles the irritation. If you can't handle that, just use one or the other. There are also reports that using it with AHA/BHA improved the effects, but significantly increased the irritation as well. 4. This product alone has an exfoliating effect, so you don't necessarily need to do additional exfoliation. That could make your skin even more sensitive~ ⭐Be sure to only apply this at night! Retinoid ingredients have poor photostability. ⭐In the beginning, to allow for adaptation, only use it about 3 times a week, with a gap in between, and use a small amount (about the size of a pea, mixed into your regular cream). ⭐Adjust the amount and frequency of use based on your tolerance. Once fully adapted, you can use this cream on its own to maximize the effects. ᆢ This retinal cream was something I really wanted to keep to myself... But as information spreads so quickly these days, my secret hot items are being revealed one by one ㅠㅠ I'll have to keep the rest of my hot picks more tightly under wraps!
