It oxidized just two weeks after opening. I was worried about it going bad, so I quickly used it, immediately closed the lid, and stored it in the product box to block light. Despite these precautions, the color noticeably changed. I'm not sure if the previous black container had an airless pump, but it seemed to deteriorate more slowly back then. Sigh.

I've even seen unopened products that have oxidized.

Great texture and you can get a pure retinol product at an affordable price.

닥터트럽 레티놀 세럼 [1.1]

The packaging is disappointing. It always leaks a bit after just one flight. It can't withstand the pressure changes. Of course, the outer transparent lid does offer some protection.

Initially, I used a small amount every 2-3 days due to concerns about irritation. Recently, I've been using it daily. My skin seems clearer now.

How to put it... When you have severe dead skin cell buildup, it works incredibly well. However, for normal, average skin, it's quite a harsh product. I only use it when my skin is in really bad shape, otherwise I avoid it. That's why I've only used it once or twice before discarding. It's definitely not suitable for daily use.

Excellent for dead skin cell removal and management. It's great that it comes with separate usage instructions. The thin consistency makes it easy to apply. I haven't tried the renewed version, though it seems to have been updated.

After applying, it causes an unbearable itching sensation that's hard to endure.

This is the only retinol product I use. It doesn't cause any blemishes and provides great hydration.

I have thick skin that's also super sensitive. When I used The Ordinary's 1% Retinol, my skin went haywire, so I switched to this and I'm extremely satisfied. Other people have noticed immediate effects too (they say my skin looks better). This might be a bit much for first-time retinol users, so it's probably better for skin that's already somewhat adapted to retinol (I've used many retinol products before and my skin is accustomed to it). I apply it up to three times a week! That's all.

The cap is a bit... unusual. It's a push-forward type, which is slightly inconvenient, but that's really the only issue.

Oh my goodness, if you haven't tried retinol before, you absolutely must try this! It has a high retinol content, but there's no irritation at all! It's so amazing. Maybe it's because it's a serum, but I really, really, really love it. My skin doesn't hurt at all. Usually, if retinol doesn't agree with you, your skin can peel and go crazy, but there's none of that with this product! Sidmool is a brand you can trust, they're the best!

This isn't a high-concentration retinol, so I wouldn't recommend it to those looking for powerful results!

If you have sensitive skin but want to try retinol, this is the perfect starter product! It's a really gentle retinol that you can use without any hesitation. The formula is a thin essence with a slightly yellow tint. It spreads easily and absorbs well, leaving no sticky feeling. You can use it day or night, but since sun protection is crucial when using retinol, I personally only use it as part of my nighttime routine!

I mainly used this on days when I didn't apply my repair cream.

First off, it has a somewhat chemical scent, though it's not as noticeable when applying.

I was pleased that it wasn't irritating despite containing 1.1% active ingredient. Even with sensitive skin, I didn't experience any major blemishes.

However, I wanted to tackle some eye wrinkles, so I applied it under my eyes. By evening, the area had darkened as if I'd been burned! I'd recommend avoiding the eye and mouth areas when using this product.

I tried retinol for the first time, and it noticeably reduced my pores! If you can actually feel the difference, that's a sign it's working well, right? I was a bit nervous because I'd heard retinol products can be harsh, but this serum-type formula was surprisingly gentle on my cheeks, despite its high retinol content.

It doesn't seem to have any noticeable effects, so I probably won't repurchase it

Despite being my first time using it, it absorbs gently without irritation, leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated

They say retinol works best when used alone. However, since I have super sensitive skin, I mix one pump with my cream and apply it as the last step in my skincare routine. I start by applying it around the outer areas of my face, then pat the remainder onto my T-zone. The next day, my complexion looks great and my makeup applies beautifully.

Not recommended when your skin is in poor condition. It can cause breakouts or tiny bumps. Don't use it too frequently! For sensitive skin, I suggest using it only once or twice a week.

As my first retinol product, it wasn't completely free of irritation, but when mixed with a cica cream, it helped soothe my skin and left it plump by the next morning. The oil and moisture balance feels just right. The next day, my makeup went on smoothly, and I noticed my blemishes seemed a bit calmer.

It's a bit on the greasy side, I'd say. You need to exfoliate well to remove dead skin cells, otherwise it tends to pill.

It definitely seems to help with skin regeneration. My skin feels moisturized and I notice my scars appear to be fading.

The 1.1% concentration is quite high, so be careful with the amount you use. Your skin might react strongly. This isn't a problem with the product itself; it's just the nature of retinol as an ingredient.

Don't apply too frequently or in large amounts. It reacts to UV rays, so it's best to use it only at night if possible.

It has an incredible effect on minimizing pores. Highly, highly recommended!
