There's a noticeable improvement in my skin texture and pores. Rather than dramatic results, I can feel the difference compared to when I wasn't using it. While my pores haven't completely disappeared, they're definitely less noticeable. I believe consistent use will surely show more benefits.
ConsIt feels quite oily! But I guess that's to be expected since it's an oil. The shelf life is quite short - only 3 months after opening. It needs to be stored in the refrigerator.
TipThis product seems to work hard on improving skin texture and minimizing the appearance of pores. While it may not provide instant, dramatic results, the gradual improvement is evident. The oily texture might be a drawback for some, especially those with combination dehydrated skin. The short shelf life and need for refrigeration are also factors to consider. However, for those looking to even their skin tone and address blemishes, this could be a worthwhile addition to their skincare routine, particularly if they're willing to commit to consistent use.

I can't say much about other aspects.
ConsI have oily skin, and this product was too greasy, which actually made my sebum production worse. Also, when I used this along with The Ordinary's Niacin, I got a severe breakout of small bumps, so I had to stop using it. I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin types.

I think it would work well for most people, unless you have extremely sensitive skin.
ConsI feel it might absorb even better if it had a slightly thicker consistency.
TipWhen I used it at night, focusing on areas with larger pores, I noticed it helped refine the skin texture a bit.

It's less drying and makes my skin texture feel more refined. When I apply makeup, there's no more flaking or patchiness.
ConsRefrigeration, adjustment period, side effects, rest period - I don't really see any major drawbacks.

It's such great value for money that I'll definitely keep using it. Plus, since I started using this, my skin texture has improved so much that my makeup applies beautifully now.
ConsWhile I didn't experience this issue personally, it's worth noting that once opened, the product should be used within 3 months. Given that you only need a small amount, it would be nice if they offered a smaller size option.
TipFor those with super sensitive skin, always patch test before incorporating this into your routine.

While I'm not sure if my pores have dramatically improved, I do feel like my skin texture is getting better.
ConsThe formula is quite oily, which makes it a bit heavy to use on its own. So I've been mixing it with my moisturizer instead.

As someone with resilient skin, I applied a generous amount from the start without experiencing any irritation. However, while the oil alone doesn't cause irritation, layering other products on top can occasionally lead to a slight tingling sensation. I'm not sure yet if it dramatically reduces pores or brightens the skin, but it quickly improves skin texture. Emulsions that used to sit on top of my skin now absorb well after using this, and makeup applies more smoothly too.
ConsRefrigerated storage is a hassle. Given that it needs to be used within 3 months, I think they could reduce the volume. At least you might be able to use it all up if you apply it to your body as well.

The price was reasonable and the results were quite good. Even with my sensitive skin, I didn't experience much irritation. With consistent use, I could definitely feel an improvement in my skin texture!
ConsSince it's retinol in an oil formulation, it was really rich and a bit challenging to apply and absorb. The scent was also slightly fishy...

ConsAfter continued use, I've noticed the effects aren't as strong as when I first started. I'm thinking of trying the 0.5% version next.

It feels a bit too rich, making absorption seem slow, but since it's for nighttime care, I didn't worry about makeup pilling. It also didn't pill when I applied cream over it. Waking up to velvety-soft skin... Putting everything else aside, it definitely seems to have improved my skin texture.
ConsIt's quite rich, so you need to use only a small amount. Not sure if it's suitable for oily skin types. Sunscreen is a must! The product warns about the risk of sunburn without sunscreen, and it's true - your face really can get burned.
