I'll keep using it consistently.
ConsIt's a bit of a hassle having to store it in the fridge, haha. While using retinol, I've noticed some dead skin cells flaking off, which makes applying makeup a bit tricky.

Unlike regular serums, I mix a few drops into my finishing cream. Since retinol is sensitive to light and heat, it's best to store it in the refrigerator.
ConsIf you're new to retinol, it's a good idea to research before using. I've been using Stiva cream prescribed by my dermatologist for years, so I can use this oil without major issues. However, first-time users might experience an adjustment period where dead skin cells may appear.
TipApply only in the evening before bed. In the morning, wash it off thoroughly and make sure to apply sunscreen or pay extra attention to sun protection.

I felt my pores tightened a bit, and compared to other brands' retinol products, it wasn't as harsh on my skin. I think I'll stick with this product for my retinol needs! I initially thought the size was quite small, but since I only use it once a week and a little goes a long way, it actually lasts quite a while.
ConsIt's quite rich, so if you don't control the amount well, it can feel heavy on the skin. If you get greedy and apply too much, it might cause dead skin cells to surface.
TipI recommend using this product with the mindset of consistent, long-term care, applying only a small amount! It's best to let your face go through an adjustment period and then adjust the frequency of use accordingly.

Seeing how my skin reacted to just one drop in the first week, it's definitely potent. Now, a month in, I'm using it every other day. I'm hopeful that with continued use, it'll work wonders on my pores.
ConsIt's not exactly a downside, but you absolutely must limit initial use to once every 3-4 days, using only one drop. For a whole week, my skin was red, itchy, and flaky. Even applying famous, expensive, ultra-hydrating creams didn't help. I was worried my skin wouldn't recover from this state.
TipAs everyone knows, apply this only in the evening. Sunscreen is an absolute must. When using this, avoid other potentially irritating products like Vitamin C serums for at least a day... it's that strong!

The texture is great - it's an oil but not overly sticky, which I appreciate. As you can see in the photo, when you drop it, it flows easily, indicating it's not a heavy oil. This makes it perfect for mixing with creams. In terms of absorption, since this was my first time using retinol, I was told an adjustment period might be necessary. So instead of using it alone, I mixed it with my cream in the final step of my skincare routine. For an oil, it feels surprisingly light on the skin. While it doesn't absorb as quickly as some products, it's not slower than other oils I've tried. As for hydration, I was looking for an oil because autumn was making my skin dry, and luckily I won this product through The Hwahae Testers. Even though it's a retinol oil, I wasn't expecting much in terms of moisture. However, when I mixed it with my cream, I could feel the hydrating effects lasting until the next day. I used it every 2-3 days to avoid overuse, and I could definitely notice the difference between the days I used it and the days I didn't.
ConsI didn't see any effects on wrinkle improvement or dead skin cell removal. However, this is a short-term review, so I might need to use it longer to see those benefits. As a first-time retinol user, even when I mixed a tiny amount with my cream, I felt a warming sensation and slight tingling. It didn't calm down easily, so it seems like I'll need a longer adjustment period.

I was extremely satisfied with it. #Application 1-2 drops felt a bit insufficient, so I focused on applying it to areas I wanted to improve. It feels like it's coating the skin? It's rich, but since you only need a small amount, it was fine. #Skin Reaction When I applied it to my cheekbones, I occasionally felt a slight warmth, but the instructions mentioned this was natural. #Dead Skin Cells No flaking occurred. #Results My smile lines have disappeared! Whether it's from smiling a lot, wearing masks, or after a late night or tired day, I used to get lines around my nose, but now they're gone! I'm planning to consistently apply it to my aegyo sal area too. I'm just entering my mid-20s, and the appearance of smile lines and wrinkles under my eyes in the aegyo sal area was stressing me out! The pamphlet that came with it described the benefits of other products in the line, so I'll definitely try those when I have other skin concerns. I was worried about the high concentration of retinol, but the detailed usage instructions were really helpful.
ConsIt feels a bit rich! They mentioned that it might cause flaking or irritation when applied, but I didn't experience much of that.
TipPeople have been telling me my skin looks better. Since my skin was very dry, I first applied a small amount of hydrating ampoule before using this product!
