Pros
This is a review that I have written more than 3 times. The moisturizing aspect may be a bit lacking for those with drier skin types, so it would be good to apply a more hydrating serum or essence before using this cream. Finish The finish is velvety and not sticky, so you can apply a thin layer at night and an additional thin layer on the pores without feeling heavy or greasy. Firming I've been using this product for about 2-3 years now. Of course, I haven't been using just this product exclusively, but have been switching it up based on my skin's needs. I haven't noticed a significant improvement in wrinkles, but the pores haven't been expanding either. Since this is the only firming product I use besides an eye cream, I attribute the maintenance of my skin's firmness to this cream. The oil-free formula means you can apply a slightly thicker layer before bed without feeling greasy.
Cons
When applied in the morning before makeup, it can sometimes cause dryness in certain areas that need to be layered on top. I tend to use it more at night.
Tip
For concerns about pores or firmness, try applying an extra thin layer on those areas. The photo below shows the finish after application and absorption.

Pros
💜Texture The texture is similar to a typical moisturizing cream. It's not too thick or too thin - just the perfect moisturizing cream texture. It has a slight yellowish tint due to the inclusion of bakuchiol and retinol. 💜Application Thanks to the collagen, it has a bouncy, moisturizing feel when applied. It spreads very smoothly and evenly, and is well-absorbed into the skin! 💜Finish It's not heavy, but not too light either - it provides just the right amount of hydration. I think it can be used comfortably throughout the seasons, except for winter. There's no significant oiliness or stickiness, just a nice, balanced finish. 💜Efficacy Since the retinol content is kept low, it's not overly irritating and can be used by most people. That's why I'm not sure about its pore-minimizing or wrinkle-improving effects. However, the next day after using it, my skin does feel a bit plumper and bouncier. And my skin texture also seems smoother and softer than before! 💜Overall I'd recommend this non-irritating, functional cream to those looking for an all-season moisturizer.
Cons
The finish feels a bit like it's sitting on top of the skin. I think it might pill under makeup.

Pros
"Great job, Mamonde!" ▪️Usage period: About 2 months to present ▪️Purchase price: Around 20,000 won ▪️Skin type: Dry, partially sensitive, flushing, blemishes ▪️Product feel: More supple than thick, smooth application ▪️Fragrance: Not too bothersome, a flower+medicine...? 📌Product keywords: Gentle retinol / Elasticity 📌Repurchase intention: ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 1️⃣I applied it generously before bed and woke up with a plump, well-hydrated complexion, which I was very satisfied with! 2️⃣I think I heard that the bakuchiol ingredient is a gentle version of retinol. 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!!!
Tip
I know this product can be used during the day, but just in case, I'm using it as a night cream :)

The retinol cream was incredibly gentle and lightweight, making it comfortable and easy to use. I've been using it consistently and am really happy with it!
Cons
It seems to have a slightly heavy feel. I don't think you'll see immediate effects with this product.

Pros
I purchased this Mamonde Retinol Cream to gradually get used to retinol before trying the stronger Innisfree Retinol Ampoule, as I was worried the Innisfree product might be too irritating for my somewhat sensitive skin in my mid-20s. 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.
Cons
While 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.

Pros
I finally received it after much effort. I purchased it as a trial deal in December and received it today, April 1st, as an April Fool's Day celebration ^^ It was due to the courier strike, and the condition was a bit questionable. There were signs of the box top being folded, suggesting it had been opened multiple times, and the seal was too weak, so it could be peeled off and reattached without leaving any visible traces. It seems like it wouldn't be unusual for the contents to have been exposed during distribution. The toner that arrived at the same time had a seal on the bottle opening, and you need to peel it off to access the contents. The expensive cream I received after all the hassle has a very strong scent. The texture is very smooth. The ingredients are somewhat appealing to me, and I often use adenosine and retinol, but this is my first time using bakuchiol, so I'll try using it intensively for about a week to see the difference from the familiar ingredients. I'll add more after trying it out on my dry skin to see how beneficial it is. The first impression is that the spreadability and absorption are excellent.
Cons
Please seal the product tightly. The tube is easily opened and pressed, so a sealing sticker seems necessary.

Pros
🤍Skin Type Occasionally has acne-prone and dry skin 🤍Usage Period: 6 months I purchased this product from a popular YouTuber's market. 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.
Cons
It 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.
Tip
It's advised not to use retinol products together with vitamin C, AHA, or BHA products!

Pros
✨A Great Retinol Starter Product✨ My pores are quite large, but they have definitely shrunk! (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
Cons
Since 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.
Tip
It pairs incredibly well with the green Espa self-tan!
