After cleansing, it's best to apply it right away to get the full retinol benefits. Applying it right after toner made my skincare routine a bit messy due to the cream-like consistency. The cream color is the same as the packaging... a dull gold color... it also seems to have some fine shimmer mixed in... I was hoping to at least see some reduction in wrinkles, but even before using half the product, I couldn't bear to continue using it, so I passed it on to my mom. The one good thing is the packaging! It comes in an opaque pump bottle to prevent the retinol from degrading.
Cons1. The ingredients... I didn't really check them before buying (it wasn't even on Hwahae) and now I see it's a chemical cocktail. 2. The scent... this isn't the 80s, and it's a strong, unpleasant odor that I wouldn't even put in my mom's cosmetics. Upon reflection, there are only two disappointing aspects, but they are so powerful that I couldn't even use half the product and had to banish it from my vanity. I'm usually the type to stubbornly use up products, but this one didn't even cause any special troubles - I just couldn't stand using it.
TipMake sure to smell the product before purchasing... the fragrance is not only strange, but also unpleasant... it has a scent that makes you hesitant to apply, like something that's been sitting on your grandma's vanity for ages... While Roc may have been a pioneer in retinol skincare, these days there are decent retinol products from other drugstore brands, so you don't have to stick with this one.

All the fine lines have disappeared. I'm not sure about the deep wrinkles as they have disappeared. There is a slight stinging sensation when I apply it? A feeling of a thin layer peeling off? A burning sensation? There are sensations like that. It seems the effects are due to those sensations. When there are no effects, there is just a tightening feeling without any of those sensations.
ConsThere are too many bad ingredients in it :( It would be great if they could make it without those. The quantity is also too little... I wish they had made it in Korea... It would be better if the price was a bit lower. And I don't know if it's a trade secret, but there is no mention of the percentage of retinol in the ingredients, which is confusing and difficult for first-time users. So I had to start using it in small amounts and gradually increase. Earlier I was using 1.1%, but I started using this right away. In the beginning, there was a lot of irritation. It took about one and a half to two months to fully adapt. The usage is about one or two pumps each time.
TipI only use it in the evenings. Try to gradually adapt to it. You need to use the full amount that comes out in one pump to see the effects. I apply it to half my face with one pump. That's the amount needed to see the effects. It takes time to get adapted to it in the beginning.
