I consistently apply it to my crow's feet, nasolabial folds, and pores around the nose. While it may not eliminate deep wrinkles, it feels like it prevents fine lines, so I plan to continue using it. I typically use the 0.3% concentration, but switch to 0.1% when my skin is super sensitive. It's gentle enough to use without causing major irritation.
ConsThe price is a bit steep... However, I keep using it because of the reliable manufacturer and trusted brand.
TipA tip for consistent use: stick with 0.3% normally, and switch to 0.1% when your skin is sensitive. Sometimes, trying to see results with 0.3% can lead to skin irritation, so it's crucial to carefully assess your skin condition and decide whether to use it or not.

I spent the first two weeks getting my skin used to it, and now I'm applying it daily. It's become part of my routine!
ConsWhen using retinol, there's always the hassle of having to apply sunscreen without fail. You also need to be careful with the amount you use - if you apply too much, it can make your skin look a bit greasy.

I did notice some slight improvements in my pores. It's not visibly noticeable, but it's like a secret effect that only I know about when I apply foundation.
ConsIt's too rich for my skin... Unfortunately. These days, there are many serums and toners with retinol, so I probably won't repurchase this. While it was effective for my pores, I'm not sure about its impact on my nasolabial folds.
TipI have relatively thick skin, but when I applied this during times my skin wasn't in the best condition, it caused a slight tingling sensation. I recommend reading the instructions carefully and starting with small amounts.

The original really is in a league of its own... Is this the power of big corporate resources? Its ability to tighten pores goes without saying, and its blemish care function is outstanding. It worked incredibly well for me without any irritation.
ConsThe price is truly wicked... But Amore gives plenty of samples, so I'll call it even. Also, while it's fine when you first start using it, as you get to the end, the container design makes it extremely difficult to squeeze out the remaining product. It's so hard on my hands that I'm seriously reconsidering repurchasing...
TipAbsolutely do not use this with vitamin C products. It might seem fine for the first day or two, but after a few days of applying them together, your skin will turn angry red. How do I know? I wish I didn't... And after applying retinol, make sure to moisturize intensively... You might wake up quite dry otherwise.

ConsEven with a sale, the price is wickedly high. Also, I'm not sure about its brightening effects.
TipAt first, you need to get your skin used to it by applying small amounts only on problem areas.

Cons* The only downside is I wish it were more affordable, as I'd like to apply it all over my face.
TipI'm using this in combination with the Stem III Ampoule, applying a thin layer on my forehead, T-zone, and nose area.

Although I hesitated due to the higher price point, I bought it with high hopes for its effectiveness. Here's my review after 5 months of use. To summarize, it definitely works - consistent use helps with wrinkle improvement and pore tightening. (Turns out it's worth the money after all!) ☆ Purchase details If I remember correctly, it was a collaboration product. I got the full-size product, two mini essence samples, and a small dish for about $80. ☆ Irritation level Retinol products can be hit or miss, and there were many warnings about being extra careful if it's your first time. I was a bit nervous, but it didn't irritate my skin at all. It was more moisturizing than expected and absorbed beautifully. ☆ Usage experience I had concerns about neck wrinkles, so I used small amounts on my neck, around the eyes, and around the mouth where lines seemed to be deepening. I applied it every other day. After use, I lightly applied a cica cream to prevent any potential irritation. ☆☆ Pore/wrinkle effects Most importantly, regarding pores and wrinkles: my neck wrinkles have noticeably faded, and I feel like the pores on my nose have significantly reduced. I'm not sure yet about the deepest wrinkles around my mouth. ☆ Packaging/quantity Since I use small amounts every other day, it lasts longer than expected. I think it could easily last a year. The dispenser releases just the right amount with a gentle squeeze, without any dripping. It's clear they put a lot of thought into the packaging and storage, which I really appreciate. Though expensive, it's worth the price. I think I'll buy the 0.2% version next time.
ConsThe biggest downside is definitely the high price point. I was most worried about blemishes, but that concern has disappeared, so I don't have any other complaints.
TipBuy it during holiday sales! The packaging is so luxurious, it makes for a great gift too.

ConsThe results aren't dramatic. And the main drawback is that it's quite expensive...

It improves skin elasticity and reduces pores. Retinol is a powerful antioxidant. Don't waste your money on other products with low concentrations. Just go for IOPE's version.
ConsNo downsides. Just remember that retinol can make your skin sensitive to light, so only use it at night.
TipIOPE's retinol is simply the best anti-aging product out there. As a nurse who studies ingredients before buying, I can confidently recommend it. However, since it's so effective, it can be quite potent. Make sure to educate yourself and allow your skin to adapt before applying it regularly.

It seems to reduce pores and I feel like my blackheads are getting smaller. It's really working hard for my skin!
ConsWhile it's effective, I can't use it alone daily, which is a bit disappointing. I guess that's both its strength and weakness.
TipI know you're supposed to use just a rice-grain sized amount, but it feels like you'd need more to cover your whole face. When it's challenging, I mix it with my regular moisturizer and apply it all over. This reduces irritation and works well for my super sensitive skin.
