ConsIt's a bit inconvenient to have to keep it in the refrigerator. While using retinol, I experienced some peeling, which made it a bit difficult to apply makeup.

It's not used like a regular ampoule product, but rather mixed into the finishing cream step. The retinol ingredient itself is sensitive to light and heat, so it's best to store it in the refrigerator when using.
ConsIf you're using retinol for the first time, it's a good idea to do some research and read up on it. I've been prescribed Stiva cream from a dermatologist and have been using it for a few years, so I've had no major issues with this oil either. However, there is an adjustment period when first using retinol, so you may experience some peeling or other effects.
TipOnly apply this at night before bed. In the morning, be sure to thoroughly cleanse it off and apply sunscreen or be mindful of sun protection.

I felt like my pores were slightly tightened, and the skin irritation was not as strong compared to other retinol products. I think I'll continue using this retinol product! I thought the size was quite small, but I only need to use it about once a week, and a small amount covers my whole face, so it lasts quite a long time.
ConsIt can feel stuffy if I don't control the amount properly because it's oily. If I apply too much, it can bring up flaky skin.
TipI think I should use it consistently but without being too greedy with the amount. I recommend going through an adjustment period for your face and adjusting the frequency.

Looking at how it turned my face upside down with just one drop for a week, it seems to be powerful... After that, I'm now applying it every other day for a month, and I'm hopeful that if I keep using it, it will have an effect on my pores.
ConsIt's not really a downside, but in the beginning, you're not allowed to use it every other day. You'll probably have to use just one drop every 3-4 days ㅜㅜ For a week, my face was red, itchy, and no matter how much I kept applying the famous, expensive, and highly moisturizing cream, my skin peeled and I was worried that it wouldn't recover from this state.
TipAs everyone knows, you only apply it in the evening. Sunscreen is a must. When using this, you shouldn't use anything stimulating like vitamin C at least a day after...ㄷㄷ

When I dropped a drop as shown in the photo, the oil itself was not heavy enough to drip down smoothly, so it was good to mix with a cream and use it. 👍Absorption Since this is my first time using retinol, I was told that an adaptation period is necessary, so I used it by mixing it with a cream in the last step of my skincare routine rather than using it alone. Even though it is an oil, it has a refreshing finish. Although oils don't absorb quickly, this one doesn't seem to absorb more slowly than other oils. 👍Moisturizing I was looking for an oil because it's autumn and my skin has become dry. Luckily, I won the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program and tried this product. I didn't have high expectations for the moisturizing properties of a retinol oil, but when I mixed it with a cream and applied it, I could feel the moisturizing effect lasting until the next day. I couldn't use it daily, so I used it 2-3 times a week, and I could definitely feel the difference between using it and not using it.
Cons👎I didn't see any effects on wrinkle improvement or exfoliation. Since this is a short-term review, I'll have to use it more to see the effects. 👎Since this is my first time using retinol, even when I mix a tiny amount into a cream and use it, I feel a warm sensation and slight stinging. The soothing effect doesn't seem to be great, so I think I need to give it enough adaptation time.

I was very satisfied with it. #Usage 1-2 drops felt a bit lacking, but I applied it concentrated on the areas I wanted to improve! It has a sort of coating(?) feel to it, oily but the small amount applied was fine. #Skin Compatibility When I applied it to my cheeks (cheekbones), I sometimes felt a slight warmth, but the instructions said that was normal. #Exfoliation My skin didn't develop any flakiness. #Effectiveness My laugh lines disappeared! Haha. I often got laugh lines around my nose due to a lot of smiling or from wearing masks, but now they're gone! I'll keep applying it consistently to the area around my laugh lines. I'm just in my mid-20s, but the appearance of laugh lines and under-eye smile lines was really stressing me out! The pamphlet that came with it listed the benefits of their other product lines, so I'll definitely try those out when I have other concerns. And I was worried about the high concentration of retinol, but the detailed instructions were great.
ConsIt feels a bit oily! They said it could cause flakiness or irritation, but I didn't really experience that.
TipPeople said my skin looked great I applied a little bit of a hydrating ampoule first before using this, since my skin was quite dry.
