  Pros

  It's moisturizing and lasts quite a while. Absorbs well without feeling greasy. Should be especially good for winter use.

  Cons

  It seems to have a bit of oil content, as I got a small blemish. I'll have to use less of it next time.

  Pros

  The scent is so natural, it gives me a healing feeling. I'm using it because it contains bakuchiol, which can be used as a retinol alternative even in the morning. It's definitely less irritating than retinol. The texture is between a cream and an emulsion, and I love how it applies moisturizing yet finishes with a fresh feel. (For reference, I have neutral skin.)

  Cons

  There's a slight burning sensation when applying it around the eyes. However, it didn't cause any redness or breakouts. It's expensive and the purchasing channels are limited to Sephora or direct overseas orders, which is a bit disappointing.

  Pros

  As a first-time retinol user, I was a bit apprehensive, but it turned out to be a perfect match! The absorption and application are both excellent. Perhaps due to the squalane oil, it felt wonderfully moisturizing. I noticed a significant improvement in my skin's softness when I woke up after applying it at night. No blemishes appeared, but if you have super sensitive skin to retinol, I'd recommend patch testing first. I later discovered it actually contains bakuchiol, a retinol alternative, instead of retinol! Apparently, it's a much gentler ingredient with minimal irritation.

  Cons

  If I had to point out a downside, it would be the high price point... But the effectiveness is absolutely top-notch!
