  Pros

  I made a purchase at the flagship store as I am living abroad! There were many benefits such as wrinkle improvement, skin regeneration, and the disappearance of dark spots :) This is a great product for those new to retinol or those with skin that is strongly affected by retinol, like teenagers!

  Cons

  If you don't use a moisturizing cream or skincare along with it, your skin may peel (and other issues may arise). The only other downside seems to be that the effects are slow.

  Tip

  Retinol is very potent! If you're new to it, your skin may have a strong reaction and experience peeling or flaking. If you want to use retinol but are young (like a teenager) or new to it, you should start with retinoids first!! And retinol-based products take time to show results. You need to apply them consistently for 1 to 3 months before seeing visible changes! - I recommend refrigerating it after opening! - Be sure to use a moisturizer after applying (to prevent peeling, etc.) Retinol-based products are said to be boosted when used with a moisturizing cream formulation - Using it with a product like Cicaplast can also be helpful - Only use it at night and be sure to apply sunscreen the next day If you use this product during the day when UV rays are strong, there is a high chance of pigmentation. Please only use it at night.

  Pros

  These days, I've been getting a lot of wrinkles and my skin elasticity has been decreasing, so I've been searching and looking into a lot of retinol-based skincare products. I recently learned about retinoids and tried them for the first time. There's a lot of talk about how effective they are, but there are also a lot of things to be careful about when using them, so I was worried. But when I actually started using them, I could feel my wrinkles fading a bit. Because of that, I got excited and started using them every day, and it's been about a week. But today, something that looks like acne popped up, so I've temporarily stopped using them. I'll try to continue using them while letting my skin adjust once it calms down a bit.

  Cons

  The dropper-type packaging is not great. Since I have to keep taking it out and putting it back in... But the price is affordable, so..^^;;

  Tip

  Use a moisturizing product that thoroughly hydrates your skin, and at first, use it every other day to allow your skin time to adjust.
