The hydration might be a bit lacking for those with very dry skin. I'd recommend applying a hydrating serum or ampoule before using this cream for best results. Finish: It has a velvety finish that's not sticky at all. I've been applying a layer at night, with an extra thin layer on areas with visible pores, and my skin never felt suffocated. The finish is really nice! Firmness improvement: I've been using this for about 2-3 years now. While I haven't used it exclusively and have switched products based on my skin's condition, I haven't noticed a significant reduction in wrinkles. However, it has prevented my pores from enlarging. Since this cream and my eye cream are my only firming products, I credit this one for maintaining my skin's elasticity. There's no noticeable oiliness, so I can apply a thicker layer before bed without worrying about greasiness. Love it!
ConsWhen applied in the morning, it tends to pill if you layer it on dry areas before makeup. That's why I prefer using it more generously at night. The lack of intense hydration is a bit disappointing.
TipTry applying a thin extra layer on areas where you're concerned about pores or firmness! The photo below shows the finish after the product has been spread and absorbed.

It has a light yellow tint due to the bakuchiol and retinol content. Application: Thanks to the collagen, it feels like a burst of hydration! It applies smoothly and feels incredibly moisturizing. It absorbs well into the skin too! Finish: It strikes a perfect balance - not too heavy, not too light, but just right in providing hydration! I think it could work well year-round, except perhaps in winter. It doesn't feel overly oily or sticky, making it quite versatile. Effects: They seem to have created a gentle cream suitable for everyone by using a lower concentration of retinol. As a result, I'm not sure about significant improvements in pores or wrinkles. However, the next morning after applying, my skin does feel more plump and lifted! I also notice my skin texture becoming smoother and more refined. Overall: I recommend this for those looking for a non-irritating functional cream that can be used throughout the seasons.
ConsThe finish feels a bit like it's sitting on top of the skin. I'm worried it might cause pilling when applied under makeup...

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.

Can't really tell if there's any improvement... Maybe just hope for some effect?
ConsIt feels like there's only oil sitting on top without any hydration, so after a while, it becomes greasy yet my skin feels dry. And it pills too!
TipNothing to add...

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.

I bought it through a trial deal in December and got it today, April 1st - April Fools' Day, ironically! Thanks to the delivery strike, the condition was a bit concerning. The top of the box had creases as if it had been opened multiple times, and the seal was so weak that you couldn't tell if it had been removed and reattached. It seems like it could easily open during shipping without raising suspicion. In contrast, a toner from another brand that arrived at the same time had a seal on the bottle opening that needed to be removed to access the product. Despite the ordeal, this expensive cream has a very strong fragrance. The texture is incredibly smooth. I'm somewhat satisfied with the ingredients - I often use adenosine and retinol, but bakuchiol is new to me. I plan to use it intensively for about a week to compare its effects with the familiar ingredients I'm used to. I'll update on how beneficial it is for dry skin after using it more. First impressions: the absorption and how it applies to the skin are excellent.
ConsPlease secure the product seal tightly. Given that the tube is easily opened and squeezed, it seems a proper sealing sticker is necessary.

My skin was going through a rough patch, so I was looking for a retinol product. Luckily, I found this gentle retinol product. Normally, retinol is sensitive to sunlight, so it's recommended to use it only at night. But this product can be used both morning and night without any worries. It's that gentle, so I started using it daily without an adjustment period. It's said that this product helps the skin shed dead cells in a regular cycle. After about 15 days, I noticed my flaky skin has calmed down a lot, and my breakouts have significantly improved!! I've had a habit of squeezing my pores since I was young, so I was concerned about enlarged pores. But to my surprise, my pores have also been somewhat corrected.
ConsIt doesn't feel very moisturizing, so I need to make sure I properly hydrate my skin in the previous skincare steps. There is some pilling, so it's not very comfortable to use during the day.
TipIt's advised not to use retinol products together with vitamin C, AHA, or BHA products!

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!
