Pros
It's great for sensitive skin as it's not irritating. It doesn't make my skin overly greasy and doesn't cause any blemishes. I think it has a slight effect on improving wrinkles.
Cons
The ointment tube format can be a bit inconvenient. Since it needs to be refrigerated, I sometimes forget to use it.

Pros
I can see my skin's elasticity improving, and my pores have visibly reduced. I was worried about potential irritation since some people mentioned it, but it wasn't particularly irritating for me.
Cons
The need for refrigeration is a bit inconvenient. As a soldier with a shared fridge, it's somewhat concerning to keep it there.

Pros
I've nearly finished a whole tube, and I can definitely see an improvement in my fine lines. While some people have experienced side effects from retinol, I've been using it as directed and haven't had any issues at all.
Cons
The tube is made of aluminum rather than plastic, which means that towards the end, the white coating on the tube starts to peel off and gets on your hands. That's an area that could use some improvement. That's why I'm deducting one star.

Pros
My skin is very sensitive and dry, with some oiliness, making it a combination sensitive type! After using this for about two weeks in the evening after cleansing, followed by toner and ampoule, I apply a small amount. The next morning, my skin feels smooth and my pores appear significantly reduced. Even the fine lines around my eyes, though not deep, have noticeably faded.
Cons
Since my skin is quite sensitive, I found that applying it once a day caused some irritation. I experienced dead skin cells, a burning sensation, and redness, so I temporarily stopped using it. However, I did eventually return to it.
Tip
It's great to apply between the eyebrows, at the corners of the eyes, and around the mouth. High-concentration retinol is sensitive to light and heat, so it's best to store the product in a skincare fridge and apply it at night!

Pros
This is the best retinol product I've ever used. It's also the most cost-effective. It's effective for wrinkles and pores. Of course, you don't see results immediately, but after about two weeks, you can really notice the difference!
Cons
There's nothing disappointing about it... It's just inconvenient to write a 20-character review.

Pros
I could definitely feel the effects on skin elasticity and wrinkle improvement. With retinol as an ingredient, my skin felt smoother and firmer after use. With consistent application, I experienced a gradual reduction in fine lines. Additionally, this cream has a soft texture and absorbs well, making it comfortable to use. I was satisfied that I could see the benefits without any irritation to my skin.
Cons
When I first started using it, there was a slight tingling sensation, which might be a bit much for particularly sensitive areas. I only used it at night, and in the morning my skin felt slightly dry, so I needed to apply an extra moisturizer.

Pros
I've seen remarkable improvement in my wrinkles. It seems like my pores have shrunk too, and my skin barrier feels stronger. I'm really pleased with the results.
Cons
When you first squeeze it out, a lot comes out... When you're just starting to use retinol, you don't need much, so it felt wasteful to have so much product come out.
Tip
You can use it without irritation if you apply it after your serum and hydrating moisturizer, but before your regular moisturizer.

Pros
I just finished a whole tube and I'm absolutely amazed! The fine lines on my nose that I've had for 5 years have disappeared, leaving my skin completely taut! You see, I used to squeeze my nose frequently to get rid of blackheads, which left me with those pesky wrinkles. Not only that, but the deep wrinkles around my eyes have noticeably faded. The results are undeniable! I highly recommend giving this a try if it suits your skin. Personally, I needed an adjustment period, so I started by mixing a rice-grain sized amount with my moisturizer for about a month. Gradually, I increased the quantity, and now I apply about half a fingertip's worth! For those who might have experienced skin reactions, check if you perhaps applied too much initially. I'm planning to repurchase this, and next time I might even try the 0.3 version!
Cons
While I have no complaints about the cream itself, the lid became an issue over time. A part of it started to tear, causing it to rotate 360 degrees, which meant it wouldn't close properly when the product was almost finished.
Tip
Start with less than a rice-grain sized amount mixed into your cream, then gradually increase the quantity!

Pros
I've been using this consistently and it's gentle and great for preventing fine lines. I feel like it really refines my skin texture.
Cons
There's nothing I dislike about it, but I wish it came in a slightly larger size.
Tip
It's important to apply this only in the evening. If you use it during the day without sunscreen, you might develop hyperpigmentation.

Pros
The retinol effect has made my skin a bit thicker and I don't get any more pimples!! I started using it because my skin lost its elasticity and I was getting wrinkles, but it has helped control my oil and prevent breakouts, so I'm really satisfied with it ㅠㅜ Of course, my skin's elasticity is gradually improving as well. I'm not sure how much more elastic it will become, but my vertical pores have definitely decreased and my wrinkles have faded a bit. I've been using it for about a month or two.
Cons
You need to be careful with the amount you use! It's as effective as it is irritating, and it can cause flaking, so you should apply it little by little and take breaks in between. I use it about once a week. I also recommend refrigerating it. It doesn't seem to work as well when the temperature is high.
