If that's true, I think I'm falling in love with retinol! I've been applying it not just to my face but also my neck, and I swear I can feel my neck becoming firmer too. 3️⃣I love that it comes in a tube. It takes up less space and is convenient to use.
ConsIf there's one drawback, it's that when applied in the morning, it causes my makeup to pill... It really pills up like crazy! That's why I only use it at night!!!
TipAlthough I know it's a product that can be used during the day, I'm using it as a night cream just to be on the safe side.

So I opted for this gentler Mamonde retinol cream to ease into retinol use. User experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have somewhat sensitive skin, but experienced no tingling or blemishes while using this. It's incredibly gentle for a retinol product. Application ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's not a watery, bouncy texture like some moisturizers, nor is it an oil-rich cream that glides on. It has a slightly thick consistency but applies smoothly. This is my preferred texture. Hydration ⭐⭐⭐⭐ There's a slight richness, but it's not overwhelming. It feels adequately moisturizing for all but the driest skin types. Scent ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It has a slightly fresh scent, probably due to the retinol. It smells a bit like ground lemon or yuzu, which shouldn't be too divisive. I plan to repurchase this cream. + Additional review after nearly finishing the product: Even though I'm still in my 20s, I had developed horizontal lines above my nose bridge and was considering Botox. After applying this product to my problem areas, absorbing it, and then applying a thick layer before bed, I noticed a significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles after about a month. The results are visible! The lines above my nose bridge weren't superficial - they were quite deep. While they haven't completely disappeared, they've definitely faded. I'll definitely repurchase this. If you're in your 20s and starting to worry about wrinkles, give this cream a try. Applying a thick layer every night before bed speeds up the results.
ConsWhile it feels great during application, after some time it tends to pill up like dead skin cells. Since retinol is sensitive to light and prone to pilling, I recommend using this as a night cream. I haven't noticed any improvements in wrinkles or pore size yet, but I suspect this is due to the short period of use.

My pores are quite large, but they've definitely shrunk! (Used almost the entire bottle, always applied sunscreen) Rather than dramatic changes to nose pores, I noticed more firmness in the butterfly zone. The texture is incredibly smooth. After application, the surface feels slightly powdery while the deeper layers are silky - like a sorbet-like skin texture. It suited me really well, causing no major blemishes and significantly helping with spot treatment. I'm so satisfied that I've already purchased another bottle!
ConsSince it contains retinol, I made sure to apply sunscreen diligently. However, I noticed some sunscreens tend to pill when used with this product. The compatibility might vary depending on the sunscreen you use.
TipIt works exceptionally well with the green Centella Unscented Sun from COSRX!

On top of that, I have super sensitive skin. Despite this, I didn't feel any irritation from this product. I knew retinol creams were good, but I heard they could be harsh, so I was hesitant to try. However, this one seemed fine even for my sensitive skin. While I can't say I noticed a visible improvement in skin texture, I definitely feel a difference when applying my skincare products.
ConsIf there's one downside to this product, it's the pilling. When I touch my face after application, it rolls off like dead skin cells. It was more inconvenient than I expected. Also, while it feels quite powdery when applied, it was surprisingly drying. I use it as the last step in my routine, but it leaves my skin feeling somewhat parched. That's a bit disappointing.
TipI applied a generous amount of moisturizer before using the retinol cream as the final step! In the morning, I made sure to apply plenty of moisturizer again! Oh, and remember - it's not recommended to use retinol cream in the morning! Only use it at night!

The scent is natural and herbal, not artificial. It absorbs well into the skin. Doesn't leave a heavy film on the skin (Note: For those like me who break out from products that leave residue, this is a great option)
ConsIf you apply too much, it can pill like dead skin cells. I recommend spreading a thin layer on your hands first, then applying to your face, or using it only on specific areas
TipThis is a gentle retinol cream. For best results, use it alongside a retinol serum or essence with a higher concentration
