Pros
Give your skin a gentle flip. After a thorough resurfacing, your skin will become soft and supple like a baby's.
Cons
You need to control the amount carefully. Using too much can make your face look red and burned.
Tip
Just apply a basic toner before bed and pump it twice, about the size of a red bean, and spread it evenly. Overnight, your skin will become wonderfully smooth.

Pros
To elaborate on the product details, the Clinical 1% Retinol is a night care product that should be applied in the evening! After using the toner, you can apply about a pea-sized amount to the face, excluding the eye and lip area. It's recommended to start using it once every 3 days and gradually increase the frequency as your skin adjusts :D Also, sun protection in the morning is essential! You'll feel your skin becoming more transparent and smoother :) I'd recommend this to those who want to improve skin elasticity and achieve a more even, smooth skin tone :D
Cons
The Clinique Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment contains 100 times more retinol compared to other retinol products, which means it's more likely to cause initial adjustment reactions. You may experience some stinging, flaking, redness, or breakouts, so it's important to properly adjust the usage amount and give your skin time to adapt.
Tip
For sensitive skin, it's also a good idea to mix the product with a moisturizer in a 1:1 ratio before applying, which may help.

Pros
If you are afraid of the side effects of Stiva ointment, I recommend this product. Although it may not be as effective as Stiva ointment, the visible effects are really good. I've tried other similar retinol products, but they were ineffective or caused breakouts, so I had to stop using them. I started using this product and my skin became really smooth. I hardly get any pimples anymore, and my acne scars have faded as well. Plus, my wrinkles are improving, so I've been using it consistently.
Cons
I once experienced skin irritation from using it too frequently, thinking my skin had gotten used to it... Of course, others may have different experiences, but please be very careful when using it.
Tip
I think using it once every 5 days is appropriate, but you'll have to determine the right frequency for yourself through trial and error. I find that 2 pumps is a good amount to use, not too much (I haven't tried mixing it with other products). Be sure to moisturize well after using it, and use sunscreen the next day without fail. Your skin will be more sensitive, and the effects won't be as good if you expose it to sunlight. If you combine the moisturizing, sun protection, and antioxidant supplements, I can guarantee you'll see amazing results. If you're going to use Stiva ointment, I'd recommend adapting to 1% retinol first before using it. I'd also advise against using it together with exfoliating products like AHA/BHA.

Pros
I usually used Pola Choice, but to save on skin care treatments before my wedding, I mustered up the courage to purchase this product. Although it was one of the more expensive Pola Choice products, I was able to buy it with a discount coupon. This product contains a high concentration of retinol, so there may be initial symptoms (stinging, itching, blemishes, peeling) but I didn't experience any of that. It's been a little over 2 months since I started using it, and I wish I had started using it 2 months before my wedding. At first, I didn't see any effects, but now I'm slowly starting to see the results. My skin used to be very dry and rough, but my skin texture has become much smoother, and my dull complexion has significantly improved, so I feel more confident going bare-faced. I plan to repurchase this product. I still have a lot left, so I'll wait for a sale event to buy it again.
Cons
The product is a bit pricey. The cosmetic has a slightly strong scent.
Tip
It seems quite potent, so it's best to use a small amount every other day.

Pros
At first, it's always surprising when you apply it... it stings... A few days later, you'll be surprised again... your skin becomes incredibly soft.
Cons
When you apply it every other day and the stinging gradually subsides as your skin adapts, if you get careless and take a break for about 2 weeks and then apply it again, you'll feel the stinging from the beginning all over again....
Tip
Those who purchase and apply it for the first time should not be surprised by the stinging and redness... If you want to feel an incredible softness a few days later, apply it consistently every 2 days. Try not to take breaks between applications as much as possible.

Pros
The skin becomes smooth and when washing the face, you can feel a soft, supple texture.
Cons
The price is a bit high, but there was a noticeable initial reaction. There was some flaking in various areas (but it doesn't happen anymore now). In the beginning, the skin seemed a bit irritated, you could say it became more sensitive. Now it's adjusted, so I use it frequently, but I'm still cautious about using it daily.
Tip
When using it for the first time, apply it 2-3 times a week, observing the skin's reaction. And apply it gradually.
