I first encountered retinol as a beginner, and the price range was not too burdensome to get started. After going through an adjustment period by using it sparingly for about 2 weeks, I now apply it every evening, and my skin seems to have become smoother. Great!!
Cons
There were no disappointments with the product itself, and if I had to point out something to be cautious about, it would be that the exfoliating ingredients or vitamin C ingredients should not be used together.

I'm still not sure. Everyone keeps talking about retinol, retinol, so I'm using it.
Cons
Using this causes my face to get excessive flaky skin too often. If I want to apply vitamin C, I have to alternate between the two. Ugh. It's inconvenient. There's no improvement in wrinkles either ㅠㅠ

It has a good value for the money. The container is very convenient to use. It is more appealing to me than other companies' products. Even though it contains 0.1%, there is little irritation on my face. It applies well. After using it consistently for about a week in the evenings, my skin became smooth. I feel like my dead skin is shedding. As a result, the frequency of my exfoliation has significantly decreased.
Cons
The product has not been entirely ineffective, but its effects have not been as good as other brands' products. I have no intention of reusing it. While using retinol can result in smooth, supple skin, that was not possible with this product. I even tried a high-concentration product, but it only caused retinol irritation.

I purchased it, tried it, and liked it so much that I bought it again. The good points are that it seems to reduce fine lines, and the moisturizing power also seems good.
Cons
There are no particularly disappointing aspects, but it's a bit of a shame that I sometimes get some flaky skin, though I'm still fairly satisfied in comparison.
Tip
After applying all your basic skincare products, it would be good to apply this as well.

It's fortunate that there haven't been any significant issues so far, perhaps due to using only a small amount.
Cons
It seems that in order to see even a small effect, the product would need to be used for a very long period of time...

I'm trying out a retinol cream for the first time. For the first 2 weeks, I used just a tiny amount the size of a millet seed, applying it carefully. Now I use an amount the size of my index fingernail and spread it all over my face before bedtime. I didn't notice much difference when using the cream alone, but when I do my makeup, my foundation applies and stays on much better👍
Cons
As a first-time user, I tried an affordable retinol cream and so far I'm satisfied with it.
Tip
In the beginning, I was really cautious, using just a tiny amount the size of a sesame seed as the last step in my routine. I bought it on Coupang for a little under 13,000 won. When I finish this one, I'm thinking of getting a stronger product.

My skin texture has been nicely refined, and my skin looks so much better now.
Cons
Although the retinol ingredient can be a bit irritating, everything else about it seems good.

These days, I've been obsessed with retinol and have been buying all sorts of products. I'm hoping they'll work well for my skin.
Cons
I don't have any yet, but I think I'll have to keep using them to see. Thank you.

I initially used it as a sample, and the next day after using it, the bumps on my skin were immediately improved. The dead skin was also removed, so my makeup applied much better! I was so shocked that I immediately bought the product.
Cons
As I continued using it, the effect seems to be decreasing. I guess my skin has gotten used to it after using it for too long...

It was good that the price was cheaper than other brands! There was nothing particularly bothersome, and the texture felt nice and firm.
Cons
I bought it because I was concerned about my pore issues, but from the first day, I applied it intensively only on my nose, and it caused peeling. The result was due to me not following the usage instructions... But the retinol ingredient is definitely irritating, so even when I applied my regular makeup, it looked red or like constant flaking, and it felt stinging. They say first-time users should use it every other day to get used to it, but I overestimated my skin... 😢
Tip
I used to not apply anything before bed, but after using retinol, they say it's good to provide sufficient moisture. So I'm using a lotion, moisturizer, and pore serum, and then mixing a bit of retinol into the moisturizer or pore serum to use only on the problem areas! If you apply a generous amount of moisturizer before and after using retinol, you should be able to use it without any side effects!
