Pros
Recommended for those with combination/sensitive skin as an introduction to retinol. After application, there was no irritation or blemishes. It's gentle on the skin and effective in refining skin texture, making it suitable even for sensitive skin types. With consistent use, I noticed my skin becoming smoother and the appearance of small bumps diminishing.
Cons
There's a slight rich feeling, so those with oily or combination skin should use it more cautiously than those with dry skin. On days when my immune system was low or I was tired, I occasionally noticed some small pimples appearing.
Tip
For the first two weeks, I used a small amount every other day, making sure to apply it after thoroughly moisturizing. Afterwards, I mixed it with my hydrating cream, focusing on allowing my skin to adapt gradually. I found this adjustment period to be crucial.

Pros
Retinol is said to be good, so it seems okay to use around 0.1% or so.
Cons
The product is a bit oily, but to be honest, I'm not sure if it's effective.

Pros
As it contains retinol, I could really feel my skin's turnover rate increasing! It seemed to keep dead skin cells from building up on the surface.
Cons
For those with oily skin, it might be a bit too rich. When I applied it at night, I occasionally woke up with some minor blemishes.
Tip
If you have oily skin, I recommend applying just a small amount!

Pros
I was worried about using retinol since I'd heard you need to be careful with it, but I was pleasantly surprised that the 0.1% formula didn't irritate my skin as much as I expected.
Cons
As it's a cream, I did notice my face felt a bit rich later on.
Tip
Just to be safe, use this when your skin barrier is strong!

Pros
It absorbs well and doesn't cause any tingling sensation. The price is really reasonable too. I'm quite satisfied with it.
Cons
It leaves a bit of a greasy shine, so I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily skin, especially in summer.

Pros
I tried this because it was advertised as a gentle retinol, and it applies well as a step before my night moisturizer. Both my husband and I have sensitive skin, but we didn't experience any blemishes. It's a low-intensity formula, so I haven't seen dramatic effects yet, but I plan to keep using it consistently.
Cons
The rich texture might cause oiliness or blemishes for those with oily skin. As I have dry skin and use it before bed anyway, it doesn't bother me much.
