Pros
The wrinkles become less visible immediately after using it. My family and I have been using it, and we have all experienced improvements, from minor to significant, in skin brightness, wrinkle reduction, and fading of dark spots.
Cons
Due to the poor ingredients, it caused breakouts. I ended up switching to a different retinol product. I couldn't tell any difference between this and the 10,000-20,000 won retinol 1% products. The ingredients are not good, so I wonder why it's so expensive. I suspect it's because of the packaging.

I feel like my skin is becoming smoother, brighter, and more refined.

The amount is too little. When I disassemble the container, I can confirm that the amount is truly small.

Pros
The retinol content is reliable and the packaging is good. Using it alone was the best, as it does not dry out. I later applied a little moisturizer to my cheeks. Even though I'm an oily skin type, the retinol absorbs well, and I'm seeing pore refinement, exfoliation, and fine line improvement effects. If you take care of the skin barrier while managing it, it's great.
Cons
The perspective on the ingredients is so-so, so I'll pass... It's a bit expensive, but it's okay if you wait for a sale.
Tip
I used 2 pumps from the start and have been using it daily without any issues. Now I'm using 4-5 pumps up to my neck. I've been using it for 3 years. The amount and frequency of use is so-so, so you'll just have to use it based on your skin condition. Apply it well and be careful when using other irritating cosmetics or beauty devices.

Pros
The product seems to be effective on wrinkles. After using it, I feel that even fine lines and wrinkles become more faded.
Cons
Well... It may be because the retinol content is high. I thought it would be fine since I've been using other retinol cosmetics consistently, but it's still quite irritating. So I've been careful with the amount and rested for about 1-2 days when it got a bit reddish, then started using it again.

Pros
Haha, I can't live without this, seriously haha. I've been using it since I was 26 and thanks to it, I don't have a single wrinkle haha. Loyalty, loyalty!
Cons
It really hurts when you use it on sensitive skin! You'll need to be very careful with the amount you use~
Tip
As long as it doesn't cause any inflammation or anything like that, you can just keep using it consistently, rain or shine haha. It's definitely true that it helps slow down the passage of time, at least a little bit.

Pros
Even though it hasn't been long since I started using it, I can clearly see and feel that my skin has improved. I hardly get any blemishes anymore, and my fine lines and skin texture have really improved a lot.
Cons
The price is a bit high...I suddenly became concerned about my skin wrinkles, so I immediately bought it at the full price. Compared to the amount, the price is quite expensive. However, after experiencing the effects, I really liked it, and I think I'll buy it again as soon as I run out. It would be even better if I could purchase it during a sale.
Tip
I was quite worried when I first started using it, as I heard there could be side effects, and I have sensitive skin. But when I applied the Retinol, I also used a very generous amount of moisturizer, and I didn't experience any issues. Be sure to use a lot of moisturizer.

Pros
It seems to be effective in preventing fine lines. Since there is an initial adaptation period, niacinamide might be better than this product.
Cons
When I first used it, there was a stinging sensation and redness. But it's fine after adapting to it.

Pros
When I first started using it, there was an adjustment period. My skin condition worsened as dead skin cells came up to the surface. At first, I used it once a week, then gradually decreased the frequency as I got used to it. After that, I started seeing the effects as described. My wrinkles and elasticity have improved, and I'm really grateful for that. I'm on my nth repurchase now^^
Cons
When I first started using it, there was an adjustment period. It's a squeeze tube, but I don't seem to be able to apply it completely cleanly.

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.
