Even my pigmentation has faded!
ConsWhen my skin is sensitive, it seems like using it actually causes more breakouts. And the scent had a kind of pencil? smell to it, which I found a bit unpleasant.

It's better to apply it thinly multiple times rather than applying a lot at once.
ConsOn days when my skin is sensitive, it can feel a bit irritated or have a warm sensation on the area above my upper lip!! Caution!! And... the fragrance is a bit, how should I say, artificial-smelling? But it's not unbearable.
TipApply in thin layers multiple times! Focus on applying it intensively on areas of concern like blemishes or enlarged pores!

You can visibly see improvements in your skin the next day!
ConsThe artificial fragrance was a bit disappointing. And on days when your skin is sensitive, it might cause irritation when applied!
TipI recommend applying a light toner, waiting for it to be absorbed, then applying this product and generously layering on a moisturizer!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product contains 500IU/g of retinol (refer to the official website). I was worried that the retinol product might not suit me well since I haven't used many of them before, but I saw that Innisfree was selling a small size, so I decided to try it. It was smooth when applied, and there was not much irritation after application. The skin feels moisturized inside, but the finish on the skin surface is refreshing and powdery. It seems to have helped improve skin texture, but I'll have to wait and see for improvements in pigmentation.
ConsThe only significant issue is that it has a somewhat stuffy medicinal smell. Most products with retinol ingredients tend to have this. There was a slight tingling sensation, almost like a mild burning feeling, after application.

This is the perfect time to apply the product! -You can immediately feel the inflammation being calmed down. After applying it consistently for about 2-3 days in the evenings, the reddish pimples will gradually subside. (-I also recommend this ampoule for your boyfriend! My boyfriend's face kept breaking out even after diligently cleansing after workouts, so I got him this ampoule and it worked great in making his skin much clearer! It seems to help control excess sebum production as well!) 🖤 Skin Texture Refinement Effect -While I didn't notice a significant pore-minimizing effect, when I wake up in the morning after using it, my skin definitely feels smoother, likely due to the exfoliating and skin regeneration benefits. -This ampoule is perfect for someone like me with naturally thin and weak skin barrier. 🤍 Pigmentation -As a mid-20s person with sensitive skin prone to sun damage, I have a lot of freckles and melasma, which was a source of stress. While it didn't have a noticeable effect on my pigmentation, when the acne that had formed subsides, leaving behind reddish marks, applying this helps those marks fade much faster compared to leaving them alone. (So when pimples pop up, I always use this ampoule along with acne creams like Acneclear to double the effectiveness!)
Cons-Scent: There's not really any major downside, but the scent is a bit musty? It's not exactly a medicinal smell, but more like a faint pharmacy-like aroma. -Texture: I haven't tried other retinol products before, so I can't compare, but compared to other hydrating or moisturizing ampoules, the texture is a bit thin and watery. But it absorbs well with a few quick pats.
TipBe sure to apply this preemptively when your skin condition is not at its best! (For first-time users, I recommend starting with using it 1-2 times a week, and then gradually increasing the frequency as your skin adjusts to the retinol.)

I was considering just buying a stronger 0.2% retinol from another brand, as the concentration in this product is quite low, but...since it might not suit my skin, I opted for a gentler retinol option. The synergy with the Rideulshop product is incredible. I don't usually apply sunscreen well, so I only use this at night. But even when I just apply sunscreen and go out, my skin feels so plump and bouncy...It's amazing how my skin stays that way even when I wake up the next day.
ConsThe price. Personally, I don't mind spending on quality skincare products, but the product packaging looks a bit small, which makes me think...sometimes. The scent. The chemical smell is quite strong...but I think if they added another fragrance to mask it, it would be even more annoying, so this is fine as is.
TipAs mentioned above, the synergy with the Rideulshop product is extremely good. Using them together results in such a plump and bouncy skin.

Perhaps it's because of the retinol, but the effects show up soon after using it.
ConsIt has a bit of a rubbery smell, which is just a bit bothersome, and the price is too outrageous.

Thanks to that, my skin texture improved. Haha I'll have to repurchase it when I run out.
ConsThe scent was a bit like ointment, so keep that in mind when purchasing. Personally, I felt the volume was a bit small, so I wish it came in a larger size.
TipIf you use it right after cleansing with a cleansing foam, it can sting a bit. For men who don't wear makeup, cleansing with just a cleansing oil and then applying it, or thoroughly using a toner to refine the skin texture, it won't sting at all.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product contains retinol and cica ingredients, and when applied, it adheres tightly and spreads smoothly. However, the immediate adhesion means that more product is needed on the face compared to other products. It seems to be low-irritation, which is accurate.
ConsI'm not sure how effective it is in improving wrinkles, as I haven't used it long enough to see significant results. It also has a slight rubbery scent. Being sensitive to fragrances, I don't feel inclined to repurchase it when compared to similar products. The thin, runny texture applies in a flowing manner, but personally, I prefer thicker, more concentrated ampoule formulas.

Although I couldn't use it to fill the bottle for 2 weeks, after using it for more than a week after receiving the next-day delivery, my skin really became smooth! I used to feel a bit rough on my skin when cleansing, but after using this consistently, I felt that my skin became smoother. 2. The Scar Serum really does have some effect. The reddish marks left after popping blemishes were gradually fading, which I could see. I was also skeptical at first, but since I didn't apply anything else, I think the Scar Serum helped. 3. My nose pores seem to have become a bit smaller. I used to have a lot of blackheads around my nose area in the summer, as I have combination skin and an oily T-zone, but after consistently using the serum, the blackhead size hasn't increased, and the pores seem to have become slightly smaller. 4. I liked that it absorbed quickly. The texture is thin. But it does feel a bit sticky! I will repurchase once I finish this bottle. It definitely seems to help with skin texture and redness. Just be careful not to use too much, and apply it moderately.
Cons1. My skin felt irritated and stinging when I applied it, maybe because I put it on after wearing makeup all day. I definitely realized that one needs to be cautious when using retinol. 2. The smell... it's kind of rancid, like crayons... I'm not a fan of it.
TipWhen applying retinol directly on the face, it often causes stinging, so I mix it with a moisturizer like a Toner or a hydrating cream, at a ratio of around 1:2 to 1:3. This way, it's less irritating on the skin and also helps to hydrate. And I only used it at night, not during the day.
