Pros
I tried retinol since it's so trendy these days, but I can't say I'm particularly wowed. I have dry, sensitive skin with redness and thin skin. I don't have any dark spots, acne, or wrinkles. I'm using it preventatively due to my age, but I'm not sure about the results. I've tried about 5-9 different retinol products, but because my skin is so thin... the dermatologist actually told me to stop using it, so I've discontinued use. Compared to other retinols, this one is good value for money. Even though I have dry skin, it didn't make my skin feel extremely dry when applied. Still, I did layer a hydrating moisturizer on top. This retinol is definitely bang for your buck!
Cons
For me, there weren't many benefits. I didn't notice any changes.

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
This product seems quite rich, making it ideal for those with dry skin. I noticed it helped a bit with wrinkle improvement.
Cons
There's hardly any effect. It's so irritating that it causes my skin to peel, constantly shedding like dead skin cells...
Tip
Mixing it with a hydrating moisturizer or a thicker cream helps reduce the peeling effect.

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
You can definitely see a reduction in pores! It also improves wrinkles to some extent. I highly recommend this to those who are still considering it.
Cons
While there is some improvement in pores and wrinkles, the changes become less noticeable over time. However, I still plan to continue using it as I'm seeing gradual improvements.

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
It seems to be effective for wrinkles without causing irritation. I've been using it consistently and plan to try the next level up.
Cons
Apart from the small quantity, there's nothing to complain about! However, if you have dry skin, you might need an additional nourishing cream for areas like around the eyes when using this one.
