If that's true, I think I'll fall in love with retinol ㅠ I've been applying it not just to my face but also to my neck, and I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like my neck is becoming more elastic? 3️⃣I like the tube packaging. It takes up little space and is easy to use.
Cons🤔 One thing is that when I apply it in the morning, my makeup tends to slide off.... It really does get pushed around ㅎㅎㅎㅎ That's why I only use it at night!!!
TipI know this product can be used during the day, but just in case, I'm using it as a night cream :)

The usage experience is ★★★★★. Even with my slightly sensitive skin, there is no stinging at all and I'm using it without any trouble or breakouts. The retinol in this cream is surprisingly gentle. The texture is ★★★★★. It's not a watery moisture cream, nor is it a heavy, oily cream - it has a slightly thick but smooth and gliding application. This is my preferred texture. The moisturizing level is ★★★★. There is a slight oiliness, but not excessively so. It feels sufficiently hydrating for my skin, except for extremely dry skin types. The scent is ★★★★. It has a slightly refreshing citrus-like aroma, likely from the retinol, which doesn't seem to be divisive. I will definitely repurchase this cream. + Additional review after almost finishing the product Even though I'm still in my 20s, I started developing horizontal wrinkles on my nose bridge and was even looking into Botox. After applying this cream generously to the wrinkle-prone area and leaving it on overnight, I noticed a visible reduction in the wrinkles within about a month. The effect is quite noticeable. The wrinkles weren't just fine lines, but deeper creases under the skin, and while they haven't fully disappeared yet, they've definitely become much lighter. I will absolutely repurchase this. If you're in your 20s and concerned about wrinkles, I highly recommend trying this cream. Applying it thickly before bed shows fast results.
ConsWhile I enjoy using it initially, after some time, a film-like residue seems to get pushed out. Since retinol is sensitive to light, and this product can have a 'pushing out' effect, I'd recommend using it as a night cream. I haven't yet noticed significant improvements in wrinkles or pore size, but that may be due to the short duration of use so far.

(I've used almost an entire bottle, and I always apply it) The pores around my nose area seem to have tightened up more than the rest. The texture is also incredibly smooth? After applying it all over, the surface of my skin becomes slightly velvety, while the inner layers feel smooth and almost sorbet-like. It suits me really well - I haven't experienced any major breakouts, and it's been very helpful in fading blemishes! I'm personally very satisfied with it, so I've stocked up on another bottle! ㅎㅎ
ConsSince it is a retinol product, I made sure to always apply sunscreen. However, I found that some sunscreens tend to 'slide off' a bit, so the experience may vary depending on the sunscreen you use.
TipIt pairs incredibly well with the green Espa self-tan!

On top of that, I have extremely sensitive skin. But this retinol cream didn't seem to irritate my skin at all. I knew retinol creams were good, but I was hesitant to try them because I heard they could be irritating. But this one seemed to work well for my sensitive skin. I'm not sure if my skin texture visibly improved, but I do feel like my skincare routine made a difference.
ConsThe downside of this product is that there is definitely pilling. When I touch my face after applying it, it pills up like dirt. It was more inconvenient than I expected. And one more thing, while it has a very smooth, powdery finish, it felt drier than I anticipated. When I apply it last, I feel like my skin is a bit dry afterwards. That's a bit disappointing.
TipI applied a hydrating moisturizer generously before using the retinol cream! And in the morning, I make sure to apply a good amount of moisturizer again!! Oh, and I heard it's best to only use the retinol cream at night, not in the morning!

ConsSlippery, slippery, slippery, slippery, like when it's squeezed out. This is the worst, and it's moisturizing when applied, but slightly dry when waking up

Cons🍂If applied too generously, it can pill, so it's recommended to spread a thin layer evenly on the skin or apply it only in specific areas
TipWhen used together with a retinol serum or essence that contains a higher concentration of retinol, the effects are enhanced.
