Pros
It's not particularly dense in texture? There's not much else to say, it's only 20 characters...
Cons
I didn't know and applied it four times in a row, and it caused skin irritation. It doesn't seem to suit me. I applied it on my arms and hands for three to four days, and small bumps appeared.

Pros
According to a dermatologist's YouTube video, to effectively remove blackheads, they recommended using a product containing salicylic acid along with retinol, which helps tighten pores. Driven by my desire to get rid of blackheads, I opted for the 1% retinol version instead of the 0.5%, even though it was more expensive. I purchased it to use alongside the salicylic acid-based skin product and niacinamide ampoule. I deliberated a lot over whether to get a booster, but ultimately decided on the treatment serum since it can be used on its own.
Cons
They said an adjustment period is required, and that after using it 3 times a week and seeing improvement, I could then use it daily. But I couldn't endure the adjustment period. Even though I don't have sensitive skin, I find it irritating when I apply it. I diligently used it, hoping it would reduce my pores, but my stubborn acne persists. Whenever I take a break and then use it again, the acne comes back. It's not an inexpensive product, so I'm quite disappointed... As I write this review, I see the price again and think I should give it another try soon.
Tip
Purchase it during a sale - I've seen it discounted 20-30%! You need to sign up on the official website. Signing up through Kakao or Naver won't work.

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.

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
The price (7,7000) is too expensive, so I don't apply it heavily @As much as a pea@
Cons
At first, there were no initial symptoms, so I applied it a little bit every day, and it gave me contact dermatitis lolololololololololololol..My face is really itchy, painful, and there's a lot of peeling..It hurts so much that I cried. I can't put on makeup, I can't drink alcohol, I can't eat flour, and I go out every day wearing a mask. It really gave me shit.
Tip
Please try the sample..This product contains 7 ingredients that you should be careful about^^..Expensive doesn't mean it's all good.

Pros
At first, I thought this product would just have minor side effects like other cosmetics, but it actually made my skin extremely dry, with white flakes and a thick, stiff feeling. I even felt like I needed to see a dermatologist. But I persevered a little, and then discovered an amazing new world!^^ My face became beautifully bright, smooth, and radiant~^^ Using it together with the Clear Baha Liquid made the effects even better~^^ It's expensive, but the results were unlike anything I've experienced with other high-end cosmetics~^^
Cons
When I first used it, there was irritation, itchiness, flaking, and some breakouts. The purging, if you can call it that, was shockingly severe.
Tip
You should start using it gradually, and really focus on moisturizing well~~^^ Also, don't use it around your eyes and lips!! It will cause more peeling there ㅠ

Pros
I'm not sure what's good about it...I only have bad memories of it.
Cons
After using this, my skin peeled off...I used it as directed, but it was the same. And after using this, dark spots and blemishes appeared on my face...Even when I applied sunscreen, the same thing happened. I bought it for nothing.
