It's in charge of my pores! Retinol is known to be effective for improving skin elasticity. Initially, I bought it for wrinkle prevention and firmness management, and I've been using it consistently. Then, I accidentally discovered that when I applied the retinol serum after extracting sebum, my pores tightened up dramatically. Since then, I always apply retinol serum after extracting sebum. Since this pesky sebum keeps appearing even as I age, it looks like I'll have to keep buying this for years to come... My skin is so used to retinol that I don't experience any irritation even when I apply a lot. However, for those not accustomed to retinol, it's a ingredient you must be very careful with! Since retinol has strong exfoliating properties, you shouldn't use it with products containing BHA, AHA, or vitamin C. You should also avoid additional exfoliation. Also, as it's a vitamin A derivative, it's absolutely forbidden for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you deliberately remove the dead skin cells that come up due to retinol, your skin can become very irritated, leading to redness, blemishes, or hyperpigmentation. It's best to use it 2-3 times a week rather than daily.
ConsIf you apply a moderate amount, you might not experience this, but in my case, I tend to apply quite a bit, so I get dead skin cells from the third day after applying the serum. Because of this, makeup looks really bad from the third to the fifth day... After this period passes, my skin becomes smooth, glowing, and clear. Honestly, after using this retinol serum for several years, I haven't noticed a significant improvement in existing wrinkles. However, I know and have felt its definite effects on skin elasticity, which is why it will continue to be my holy grail product!

I'm on my second bottle now, and while I haven't seen dramatic effects, I feel like my pores are less saggy even in summer. A big plus is that it absorbs well due to its thin consistency.
ConsWhen I first started using it, it seemed to irritate my skin a bit, and I got some small blemishes. I spaced out usage every 2-3 days, then gradually decreased the intervals, and now it's fine.
TipDon't use it daily at first, give your skin some breaks!

My skin just became more sensitive and my pores more enlarged. I was ready to give up on everything. Despite the many precautions with retinol, I decided to give it one last shot and bought this product. I always trust Sidmool, so I chose the brand without hesitation. After using it, I can definitely see that my vertically stretched pores appear less elongated (they don't shrink dramatically, but pores that were like '0' now look more like 'o'). Blemish marks seem to fade faster too. Now I actually look forward to checking my reflection in the morning to see the improvements. I wish I had known about this in my early twenties - I could have prevented aging much sooner. (Though I suppose your skin is still quite firm at that age, so you're not really worried about aging then!)
ConsSince retinol can have severe side effects, I wish they had included usage precautions! I made sure to read all the reviews thoroughly before using it. After frequent use, I feel like the effects are less noticeable now. Also, because I have super sensitive skin, I always get small blisters the day after using it, especially after cleansing. If I use it more than two or three times a week, I get painful blemishes. I've also realized that the effects are temporary. Pores absolutely do not shrink permanently. If you stop using it, everything goes back to how it was before.
TipAlthough retinol comes with many precautions and can be harsh on the skin, I never apply it directly to my bare face. At night after cleansing, I mix one pump of retinol with my usual hydrating cream or gel and apply that. After using it daily, there came a point where it seemed to have no effect. But when I took a week-long break and started using it again, I noticed the effects once more. It seems occasional breaks are necessary. Moderation is key with everything! I've experienced side effects from being overzealous before. My skin felt like it was peeling all over, and in some areas, it became red, stinging, and uncomfortable.

My stretched-out pores that had lost elasticity became rounder, and I feel like their size has decreased too. I'm on my second bottle now, and I'll probably buy another when I finish this one.
ConsI don't have any negative points! Some reviews mentioned it being irritating to the skin, but I've never experienced any tingling or breakouts even with daily use.
TipWhile I didn't have any sensitivity issues, I've seen reviews mentioning irritation. For first-time users, I'd recommend starting with half a pump, using it only twice a week, and gradually increasing the amount and frequency to suit your skin.

I have rather thick skin, so this product suits me perfectly. I've gone through more than 5 bottles already! When it comes to pore-related issues, I always come back to this product!
ConsFor normal skin, the amount is plenty, but since I apply it generously, I find the quantity insufficient. However, the effects are so amazing that I can't stop using it!
TipIf you try a little and find it suits your skin well, don't hesitate to use it generously! The effects will become very noticeable!

This morning after washing my face, I was absolutely stunned. I started using retinol because I was worried about my ever-enlarging pores, but I had no idea the effects would be so quick! I think there's a synergy effect happening because I'm also in the middle of an intensive hydration period with my daily mask routine. My enlarged and sagging pores have noticeably reduced.
ConsIt's a bit of a hassle having to apply sunscreen every day, even when I'm just at home. It's only been five days, so if I notice any more drawbacks, I'll update my review. My skin seems to have become more sensitive - I feel a tingling sensation when I use my exfoliating toner now.
