As it was my first time using a retinol cream, I started with tiny amounts and gradually increased usage, fearing potential irritation. The next day after application, my skin had a noticeable glow and felt incredibly soft. Fortunately, I didn't experience any blemishes or adverse reactions.
ConsFirstly, due to the presence of BHT in the ingredients, I probably won't repurchase. While the retinol effects are good, I'll likely switch to a cream with better ingredients. There's also a peculiar scent, possibly characteristic of retinol, that reminds me of a metallic or fishy odor, which I found hard to get used to. Additionally, the high price point makes it a bit of a splurge.
TipApply a rice grain-sized amount to areas where wrinkles are a concern, gently patting it in. Remember, using sunscreen the following day is absolutely essential.

Mother's Review (50s): - Skin Characteristics: More wrinkles around the eyes compared to other areas - Application: While you only use a rice-grain sized amount per area, so there's no remarkable spreadability, it applies smoothly like a hydrating moisturizer - Scent: Has the strong, distinctive IOPE fragrance Personally not sensitive to scents - Irritation: Used daily. Previously tried prescription retinol from a dermatologist which caused severe irritation, leading to peeling. However, this product has minimal irritation, making it pleasant to use. Also tried IOPE's retinol before the reformulation, but this version has slightly more irritation. However, it seems more effective than the pre-reformulation product. - Wrinkle Improvement: While a longer period of use is needed for full assessment, it shows more effectiveness than the pre-reformulation product. Mainly used around eyes and mouth. - Overall, very satisfied and will continue using it. Especially appreciates the low irritation. Daughter's Review (20s): - Skin Characteristics: No wrinkles yet, using for prevention. Applied to mouth area prone to nasolabial folds due to full cheeks - Scent: Personally dislikes strong fragrances, but this one is quite strong. Has a typical feminine cosmetic scent - Irritation: First time using retinol, so used every other day to avoid potential irritation However, felt almost no irritation, allowing worry-free use No redness or blemishes in applied areas Planning to use daily if no issues arise after a few more days - Wrinkle Improvement: Due to full cheeks, the nasolabial area looks slightly sagged, not quite wrinkled. May be psychological, but immediately after use, the skin texture feels slightly lifted. Applying to eye area and forehead for prevention. Packaging & Volume: 30ml volume, but lasts long as only a tiny amount is used each time. Tube format with narrow opening allows easy control of amount and is hygienic. The material bounces back when squeezed, likely making it easy to use even when product is low. The cap is relatively heavy, allowing stable upright storage
ConsNo issues with the product itself, but if I had to mention something, it would be the price. Personally, I find the fragrance too strong.
TipIf you're new to retinol or have sensitive skin, use it every other day! Never applied it on days when skin was irritated from exfoliation or other treatments. My mom mentioned that in the past, when retinol creams were too irritating, she mixed them with a hydrating moisturizer!

ConsFirst off, the ingredients! With so many skincare products boasting great formulations these days, this one falls short in that department. Plus, the scent is quite strong, reminiscent of men's aftershave or old-fashioned women's cosmetics, which I found off-putting.
TipFollowing the instructions, I applied this eye cream and then layered a gentle moisturizer over it to soothe the skin. This method helped prevent any blemishes from forming.
