The skin is a bit greasy. How delightful it is to have a pumping ampoule! Since it's retinol, blocking light and air is important, and the pumping container that is sealed off from the outside, rather than a dropper that is opened and closed frequently, is really great. First of all, there's no stinging, so it's really nice to use. The retinols I've used so far have been quite irritating when applied, but this one has no such issues, and I can just apply it like a pencil with no problem, so I'm satisfied.
ConsIt seems I am someone who does not tolerate retinol well... Without fail, even this has resulted in more uneven bumps. Others say the bumps even disappear, but why do they keep appearing for me? Surely it is not the lip area...
TipThe retinol concentration is not too high, so it is recommended for beginners and can be used by anyone.

I received a sample of the same concentration from Innisfree and tried that instead...haha
ConsThe next day, both sides of my face were extremely red. Reddish blemishes appeared here and there... It contained sika ingredients, but it didn't seem to have any calming effect at all - it really didn't suit me. Be sure to test it before using it. The serum I was using before was definitely effective in controlling sebum, but the one I tried was just as shiny the next day I applied it... Aside from becoming more sensitive, I'm not even sure if it was effective.

I liked the smooth application and the lightweight formula.
ConsI didn't feel at all that my pores or unevenness improved after using it. The most important thing is that I'm not originally prone to breakouts, but this product caused me to break out. After not using it for a few days and trying it again, I still broke out, so I stopped using it.

It has a smooth, sticky, and moisturizing feel!
ConsIt seems I don't get along with retinol... I applied it to my face and it was a disaster, and when I put it on my back acne, my back went crazy too ㅠ I had heard that retinol is famous for being a great introduction, so I was excited, but I was disappointed ㅠㅠㅠ I wish retinol would work well for me...😿

ConsFor just one day, I used an amount the size of a bean, but the very next day, I developed a huge, pus-filled acne cyst on my cheek and nose. I didn't have time to go to the dermatologist, so I left it alone. Even a year later, the marks are still there.

The photo is a mini product that came with the main product as a promotion. I've been using it for over 3 months as a test:) ✨Brighter skin Rather than just brightening, my overall skin tone seems to have become more radiant! I've also heard comments about my improved complexion, so it's not just me feeling this way ㅎㅎ ✨Pores? I have a habit of touching my face often, so my pores were quite large, but it seems to have prevented them from getting even bigger or more stretched out! It's hard to tell if they've actually shrunk, but I think continued use will reveal the improvement. ✨Skin texture improvement As a sensitive skin type, my skin can get dull and oily depending on the season, but after adapting to the product, I didn't experience any severe deterioration or disruption of my skin texture. I also felt that my makeup applied better ㅎㅎ I was mainly hoping to see pore effects, but I think I've seen more improvements in skin tone and texture! Even with sensitive skin, I felt it was worth trying. I wanted to post this review before opening the full-size product. Hopefully, this helps those with sensitive skin who are considering using retinol.🥹
ConsAt first, when I used it, I only pumped it out to about the size of a fingernail and mixed it with a moisturizer, but my face still turned red and small bubbles came up around my forehead. So I stopped using it for more than two weeks. After resting my skin for a while and letting it recover, I started using it again, mixing about 1/4 of the amount I normally use of my regular moisturizer. There is still a slight stinging sensation, but it's manageable! At first, I used it twice a week, gradually increasing the amount and frequency. Now I use it on its own every other day, and I'm completely satisfied with the results! Even now, it still feels a bit itchy right after applying, but nothing comes out and it doesn't hurt, so I plan to keep using it.
TipThose who are quite sensitive are recommended to take a break and test it out a couple of times before using it. Start by mixing a very small amount into your moisturizer and see if it feels right!!

I like the Innisfree brand, but I can't write any advantages for this particular product...
ConsI used only a small amount, but it still stings.. I used the competitor's retinol product fine, but this one doesn't work for me... Is it the difference in concentration?... Even when I only use it at night after washing my face, it's irritating and drying. The feeling when I apply it is so unpleasant that I can't use it. I have combination/oily skin.

ConsHwahae and vitamin A derivative cosmetics are strongly recommended to be tested. After applying, I put it on my neck because I had pimples on my face, but my neck skin was completely turned upside down and it was a disaster..

It also seems to be good for soothing.
ConsThe product was said to be gentle, but since I have sensitive skin, the area around my eyes became red and a bit irritating. I don't recommend it for those with sensitive skin.

ConsAfter using it for about a week, I felt a slight itchiness and warmth across my entire face, so I stopped using it. When I stopped using it, the symptoms disappeared. It seems that retinol was too much for my sensitive skin after all.
