After finishing a very mild retinol product, I'm using 0.1% for the first time. I'm not quite sure if it's working or not... but it does blend well with other creams. Since it's 0.1%, it might have been a bit strong. When I used it after a long break, I did get some blemishes. However, I didn't notice more effectiveness compared to lower concentration products... Also, the packaging is really inconvenient. I won't be repurchasing this. The reviewer seems to have mixed feelings about this retinol product. They appreciate that it blends well with other skincare items, but are unsure about its effectiveness. The higher concentration (0.1%) caused some initial breakouts, which is common when starting a new retinol regimen. However, they didn't notice significant improvements compared to lower-strength products. The packaging was a major drawback for them. Overall, the product didn't meet their expectations, leading to their decision not to repurchase. - ps*****Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJun 25, 2025
I have sensitive combination dehydrated skin, and since it had been a while since I used retinol, I was a bit nervous about the amount and frequency of use at first. But I was surprised by how gentle it was. Of course, you need to be careful around the eye area, but maybe because it contains soothing ingredients, there wasn't much dead skin cell buildup. I've been increasing the amount and using it every night. Also, when I used other retinol products in the past, my neck was too sensitive and I had to stop due to irritation, but this product was fine. Even though it's retinol, it seems well-formulated, so I'm using it with a bit more confidence. Rather than being disappointed, I can't say I've seen dramatically noticeable effects, but I plan to keep using it consistently. There's the expected inconvenience of having to cleanse thoroughly in the morning and apply sunscreen diligently. The reviewer appreciates the gentleness of this retinol product, especially for their sensitive combination dehydrated skin. They highlight its suitability for daily use, even on sensitive areas like the neck. While the effects aren't dramatic, they plan to continue using it. The review emphasizes the importance of proper skincare routine when using retinol, including thorough cleansing and sun protection. - su********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJun 14, 2025
Starting with a gentle product that has relatively lower concentrations, it's definitely less irritating to the skin. Perhaps due to the lower concentration, I don't notice any dramatic effects. However, it's a perfectly suitable product as a stepping stone before moving on to higher concentration formulas. - pu****Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJun 13, 2025
Skin type: Combination dehydrated + occasional whiteheads on forehead and cheeks I was worried after hearing stories about skin reactions to retinol, like skin irritation, peeling, and extreme dryness. But surprisingly, it worked well for me - maybe thanks to the panthenol in the formula. At first, I was cautious and applied just a rice grain-sized amount over my essence. Since that went well, I now use a pea-sized amount after toner, and it's still great. They say it takes about 12 weeks to see the full effects of retinol, so I plan to keep using it consistently. Perhaps due to the moisturizing ingredients, I've noticed a healthy glow in the mornings! Although I've only been using it for about 2 weeks, it seems to be working well without any notable side effects. While I won't repurchase this as I plan to switch to a 0.5% retinol oil next, I definitely recommend this as an entry-level retinol product. There's not much to complain about, but if I had to pick something, it would be the price-to-volume ratio. Then again, retinol products are generally quite expensive...sigh. - ji********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsDark CirclesInner DrynessRecommendedJun 11, 2025
Despite retinol being known for its potential to irritate, this product contains just the right amount, making it gentle enough to apply without any discomfort. It's perfect for those who want to incorporate retinol into their skincare routine without the worry of irritation! I can't find any faults with this product! I'm confident it will become a staple in my skincare routine. This review highlights the product's well-balanced formulation, particularly its careful use of retinol. The reviewer appreciates how the product manages to harness the benefits of retinol without causing the typical irritation associated with this ingredient. They also express their satisfaction and intention to continue using the product, suggesting its effectiveness and compatibility with their skin. - km********Dry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJun 5, 2025
It absorbs well and I love that it's fragrance-free. I use it as the final cream step. It's not heavy even in summer, which is great. It's a non-irritating retinol. If you're already a retinol user, you might not notice any dramatic improvements. I use it mainly for maintenance. In summer, it's best to reduce your skincare steps. I apply this right after my first serum. - ao***Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsDark CirclesInner DrynessRecommendedJun 4, 2025
I believe this is a trustworthy product from a reliable company. If you have super sensitive skin, you might want to try mixing it with a moisturizer. For beginners, this product might feel a bit too strong to start with. For those with sensitive skin, it's always a good idea to patch test new products and introduce them gradually into your skincare routine. Consider starting with a lower concentration or using it less frequently at first to see how your skin reacts. - be********Dry SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRecommendedJun 4, 2025
When using retinol products, it's common to feel intense irritation on your skin, right? However, this product is relatively gentle, so I could use it without worry even on days when my skin was super sensitive. There was a slight tingling sensation when I first applied it, but it quickly subsided. I think this is a suitable product for those trying retinol for the first time. To be honest, I didn't see any noticeable major effects after using this product. I didn't feel any significant changes in wrinkle improvement or skin texture, and I didn't sense that my skin had gotten better. It was disappointing that there wasn't as much of a clear improvement as I had hoped for. Since retinol can make your skin a bit more dry, it's crucial to provide ample hydration after use. Applying a generous amount of moisturizing products will keep your skin more hydrated and help prevent irritation caused by dryness! - tk*********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedJun 4, 2025
A great retinol for winter use! It's perfect for gradually increasing strength. It might feel too heavy during warmer seasons. The packaging is also inconvenient as the outer layer keeps peeling off. This retinol product seems to be well-suited for colder months when skin tends to be drier. It allows for a gradual increase in retinol concentration, which is ideal for building skin tolerance. However, its rich formulation may not be as comfortable in hot weather. The packaging quality issues could be frustrating for long-term use. - ji*********Combination SkinSensitive SkinSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedJun 2, 2025
At first, I experienced some irritation, but as I adjusted the amount and continued using it, the results kept improving. I think I've gone through about 4 bottles of this now. It runs out so quickly, haha! That's probably the only downside. Other than that, I have no complaints. The product seems to be effective with consistent use, though it may require some initial adjustment to find the right amount for your skin. The fast consumption rate suggests it might be a bit pricey in the long run, but the overall satisfaction appears high.
