Super sensitive - one wrong product and I break out in blemishes or my skin goes haywire. In my late 20s, after 20 toning sessions followed by skydiving, frequent Southeast Asian trips, and hobbies like hiking and cycling, I noticed more dark spots and thinner skin compared to before the toning. I decided consistent home care was better for managing hyperpigmentation than further toning treatments. Can't give up Southeast Asian travel and hiking, so I've essentially accepted the dark spots. People say my skin looks good for someone in their 40s who's often outdoors. I always check ingredients for safety on the Hwahae app before purchasing. I buy products recommended by YouTuber Reina or find alternatives with similar ingredients. Why I bought it: I heard retinol can cause skin reactions in some people, so I started with Dr. Different Vita Lift A to introduce retinol. After confirming my skin tolerates it well, I felt ready for a higher concentration and purchased this product. Application and effects: As it's a water-based serum, the texture wasn't ideal for my dry skin, so I mixed it with Dr. Different Vita Lift. Many people commented that my sun-damaged summer skin looked brighter again. I apply The Ordinary Matrixyl first, then this product. Matrixyl has been discontinued and replaced with a peptide formula, I believe. My evening routine: Matrixyl (peptide) - retinol - cream My morning routine: Innovative Vitamin C, E, Ferulic - cream - sunscreen This regimen has noticeably improved my dark spots. Once I finish this 0.2% concentration, I've already purchased the 0.5% to level up. Of course, this can't compare to professional toning treatments at a dermatologist's office, which work faster if you can afford them and have good skin condition. Just be cautious with dark spots, as improper treatment can make them worse. Additional products I use as needed: Abib Gummy Sheet Mask Serum + Cream Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair (brown bottle) Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream Bepanthen Ointment
ConsOccasionally causes a stinging sensation and small blemishes may appear the next day. It's crucial to carefully control the amount used. As someone with dry skin, I wish it came in a cream form rather than just a water-based formula.

I recommend using it consistently every day.
ConsThere's a slight tingling and burning sensation during the adjustment period. It's important to mix a small amount with your moisturizer to help your skin adapt. Additionally, it can be a bit uncomfortable when sleeping as you can't toss and turn.

The skin becomes smooth and silky. If you stop using it, the pores quickly expand again, so it's best to apply it consistently!
ConsIt might tingle a bit at first, and after some time, it can make your skin look shiny. It's not suitable before makeup, so I recommend applying it before bed!
TipFor those with dry skin, mix it with a cream or emulsion when applying

But since people say it's good, I'll give it a try!
ConsIt stings, unfortunately. As a regular consumer, I'm not sure how much I should use. If I apply too much when my skin isn't in the best condition, it causes a tingling sensation.
TipYou need to mix it with a hydrating cream for best results.

During application, I didn't feel any irritation. I went to sleep without much expectation, but when I woke up, my pores felt noticeably tighter! I'm impressed that I could feel the effects after just one use, so I'm planning to continue using it!
ConsI think I need to use it more to really tell! The next morning when I washed my face, I felt a very slight tingling sensation - though I'm not sure if it was due to the retinol. Also, it has a somewhat rich feeling that might feel a bit heavy, but since I'm applying it before bed, it doesn't bother me.

What's truly impressive is how visibly it reduces pores after just one application.
ConsEven though it's only 0.2%, it still causes a slight tingling and itching sensation. I might need to switch back to the 0.1% version.

Browsing Hwahae, I spotted a retinol product that was surprisingly affordable. Thinking it's time to start anti-aging care before I get any older, I decided to buy it. I'm also using the same company's 10% niacinamide product, and I'm loving the combination! It's quite rich, making it perfect for nighttime use.
ConsDon't forget to apply sunscreen! I started with a lower concentration just to be safe, but even though I have pretty resilient skin, it still caused a slight tingling sensation.
TipUsing it together with niacinamide creates a synergistic effect.

ConsIt can cause shininess and a tingling sensation when your skin isn't in the best condition. After taking a break and using it again, it emphasizes flaking due to skin cell turnover.

When I wake up in the morning, my pores look visibly smaller, and on days I use this, my face has that coveted glow.
ConsFor those with super sensitive skin, you might want to limit use to once or twice a week. There can be a slight tingling sensation at times.
TipIf it works well for you, try gradually increasing usage! Once you get used to the 0.2% strength, you might feel like it's not tightening as much as before.
