The product has excellent spreadability and is quickly absorbed, allowing for layering with creams or other serums afterwards. While using retinol can sometimes lead to sensitivity and peeling, I was able to use this product without any issues. It provides effective pore and blemish management without any problems.
Cons
Although the product is advertised as having a high retinol content, upon closer inspection of the ingredients, the retinol concentration is not as strong as claimed, so it may be difficult to achieve the powerful retinol effects.

The application was nice. It seems to be a good product if it suits your skin well.
Cons
I received this as a Sephora sample and used it, but my skin got really irritated... I was known for having great skin since I was in school... This is the first time something like this has happened, so I was really surprised. First, my lips swelled up, and then I got some stinging blemishes on my cheeks. Since then, I haven't been able to wear foundation and have had to cover up.

It doesn't make the skin shiny with a gloss, but rather brings out the inner glow from within the skin. After applying, when you touch it, you may not feel it's very moisturizing since it's high in retinol, but when you look in the mirror, your skin looks radiant. As an oily-skinned person, I'm usually hesitant about products high in oil and moisture, but this has a creamy, dense texture like an eye cream, yet it feels refreshing after application. After using it, my skin feels soothed and balanced. It seems worth the high price tag.
Cons
While I was satisfied as an oily-skinned person, it may not be suitable for dry skin types. After applying, there's no lingering moisturizing sensation. This product is mainly for anti-aging and brightening, so you can't expect too much in terms of that. Also, using too much of this high-retinol product can potentially cause side effects, though I didn't experience any. Personally, I don't have any major complaints, but individual experiences may vary, so it's best to try a sample before purchasing, considering the high price point.
Tip
Since it's high in retinol, it's a good idea to follow up with a moisturizing cream after applying this. It's better to use this product only a couple times a week, rather than daily. I apply it in the order of toner, this product, moisturizer, and eye cream. The product instructions say to use it in the evening, so that's when I've been applying it.
