At first, it stung a bit, but now I don't feel any discomfort at all.
ConsThere's nothing I'm disappointed about, haha! I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but I have a very slight feeling that my skin might be getting a tiny bit thicker?

I originally have large pores, and if I slack off on skincare even a little, I get blackheads and enlarged pores. Lately, due to wearing masks, my skin has been in terrible shape. The humid and hot environment under the mask has really stretched out my T-zone. However, after using this product for about a week, I can feel some improvement in elasticity in the morning. I'm truly amazed by how visible the effects are. On top of that, with the hydration and moisturizing effects of squalane, I don't even need to use creams or emulsions anymore.
ConsIt's a thin, transparent yellow liquid with an oily feel. When applied to the face, it makes your complexion appear slightly yellow. I'm quite sensitive to even small changes in skin tone, so I only use it in the evening and not for morning makeup.
TipYou can mix it with your serums from previous steps to create a more emulsion-like texture that's easier to apply!

After an intense search for my first retinol product, I decided to try this one. Long story short, I'm extremely satisfied. It's perfect for retinol beginners. The squalane oil in it leaves a bit of residue after application, but that actually helps keep the skin's moisture from evaporating. Overall, my skin's elasticity and texture have improved. The amount is really generous too - I used it three times a week and it still lasted nearly 3 months! I'm so pleased that I bought another bottle. This will be my go-to anti-aging product for a while.
ConsThe granactive retinoid absorbs really well. The downside is that it's completely runny, so it easily gets into your eyes. It stings a lot. Other than that, it's excellent.

Being cautious, I only used it once or twice a week, so I didn't see dramatic results, but my skin feels less rough and seems to have regained some elasticity. ■ Skin type: Dry, starting to show blemishes and fine lines. Not super sensitive, but if I use too much oil, I can get slightly raised bumps under the skin (not quite milia). ■ Irritation: As this was my first retinol/retinoid product, I was worried, but the irritation wasn't as strong as I expected. My face felt slightly warm, and despite being an oil, the squalane didn't clog my pores or cause excess sebum production. ■ Evening routine: This product - Same brand's Marine Hyaluronic - Watery essence - Moisturizing/nourishing cream (depending on the season). I usually finish with the same brand's facial oil, but on days I use this product, I skip it due to the oily texture.
ConsNothing specific. However, those looking for stronger effects might be disappointed. Being an oil, it's difficult to apply more than a certain amount.
TipThis seems great for those in their late 20s to early 30s just starting to explore anti-aging. For sensitive skin or if irritation is a concern, it's recommended to apply a light layer of water-based serum first, then layer this retinoid on top. After applying the retinoid, I waited a few minutes for it to fully absorb before finishing my skincare routine.

I sense a subtle reduction in fine lines around my eyes. My small blemishes seem to have disappeared, however...
ConsWhile the small blemishes have vanished, a few red, inflamed pimples have appeared instead. I'm debating whether to continue using it or if I should only apply it to wrinkle-prone areas...
