After using it for two days, I noticed the dead skin cells around my nose improved, and my pores appear less noticeable.
ConsAt first, a few small blemishes appeared. However, after using it for several days, my skin seemed to adapt and they naturally disappeared.

The results are no joke!
ConsContains ingredients that can be irritating, so on sensitive days it can cause small blemishes. Recommend learning proper usage before applying.
TipUse only 2-3 times a week in the evening. Not recommended for pregnant women.

I'm using it together with The Ordinary Squalane Oil.
ConsEven though I used it every other day for the first few days, I experienced blemishes, a tingling sensation, and redness on my face. It felt as if my skin barrier had been compromised. I increased the interval between applications and focused on gentle hydration the morning after use, which helped improve the situation.

ConsIt feels oily and slippery when applied My super sensitive skin broke out with blemishes at first It's okay now, but I recommend those with sensitive skin to patch test rather than applying it all over the face
TipApply only in the evening

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...

They have more proven anti-aging benefits compared to traditional AHAs (BHAs are not recommended for dry skin due to their sebum control properties). For acne-prone skin, along with benzoyl peroxide and tea tree, retinol is one of the two pillars of acne treatment (promoting skin turnover without clogging pores). Plus, it's winter, so you can worry less about sun exposure, making it the perfect time to use retinol. However, as you know, high-concentration retinol can have side effects. The rapid skin regeneration can lead to a very thin stratum corneum, and overuse may cause dermatitis. This product combines traditional retinol with patented retinol 'derivatives' to minimize irritation while maintaining retinol's effectiveness. Among the retinol-based products I've used, this was the most effective after prescription retinoids. My skin is currently the clearest it's been since taking isotretinoin. It's also the most affordable retinol product I've tried.
Cons1. I may have used retinol too frequently, as I can now see tiny blood vessels under my facial skin... 2. The only way to get this product is through international shipping since it's not available in The Ordinary stores in Korea... 3. I tend to react poorly to jojoba oil, so I occasionally experience blemishes.
TipSince it's oil-based, apply it as the final step in your skincare routine. Rub a single drop between your hands and pat it onto your face. As it contains retinol, never use it during the day (some recent formulas claim to be safe for daytime use, but regardless of photostability, it's too harsh on the skin). Even though it's less irritating, daily use can still stress your skin, so controlling the amount is crucial.
