After applying it, I soon felt a slight warmth and a sense of increased firmness. It absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling smooth and supple. Even though it's a Retinol product, it wasn't irritating at all, so I was able to use it without any concerns.
ConsAfter opening, it deteriorated much faster than expected, so I couldn't use it for long and had to discard it. I need to use it up quickly.

Moreover, it is not irritating to my skin and does not cause any breakouts, so I can apply it comfortably following the instructions and fall asleep.
ConsThe instruction manual says that you should apply sunscreen the day before. There are times when I forget to apply sunscreen. Nevertheless, I diligently apply it whenever I can. The only downside is that it has become one more inconvenience.

This product has an oil-based formula, which provides better spreadability compared to the 0.1 version. It also did not cause any significant irritation.
ConsI'm not sure if this product is really effective for the skin. When I used the 0.1 version, I felt like my skin looked brighter the next day, so I used it consistently. But with this product, I don't get that same feeling.
TipI recommend applying a retinol product followed by a replenishing cream as your skincare routine!

Unlike expensive anti-aging products, it's great that I can experience retinol at a reasonable price point. Following the guide and gradually increasing the amount, I was able to use it without experiencing significant irritation. I usually mix it into the essence step or apply it after the essence, and with consistent use, I feel it has definitely helped with firmness. I have concerns about pores, and on the days I use it, I can feel my pores tightening. I think skincare products have more of a preventative nature, and I believe that even those in their mid to late 20s can comfortably use this as an affordable entry-level anti-aging product.
ConsThe main issue seems to be that the raw materials require refrigeration, which can be a bit tricky.
TipMixing it with Aesence makes it apply a bit more smoothly(?) to the skin.

ConsThe design is too wide and unwieldy, making it difficult to use.
TipWe use vitamins in the order of B, A. We do not use C.

However, it is surprisingly not at all irritating. It also contains a huge amount of squalane, so it has great moisturizing power, but it also prevents unnecessary sebum production, so I have the intention to repurchase.
ConsIt's absolutely not absorbed haha.....but since it's only applied at night, it's fine. If there are plans for a future renewal, I hope they can also add newly developed retinol, retinal, retinoids, etc. rather than just increasing the concentration. I hope they can improve the quality itself, not just the concentration.

I've been gradually adapting by using it from 0.1 to 0.5.
ConsThere doesn't seem to be any major downsides so far.

However, since it's a high-concentration product, I'll continue using it after going through the adjustment period. After using it, my skin feels refined.
ConsThere are times when I can smell the oil. If I can't control the amount, it might feel greasy and not absorb well.

The retinol formula has no irritation whatsoever, and it's not too oily, finishing off with a refreshing feel!
ConsPersonally, I wasn't a big fan of the oil texture. Given the usage experience and retinol concentration, I wonder if an oil formulation was really necessary. However, the oil does finish off refreshingly, so it's still quite usable.
TipUsing the oil alone on the face surprisingly doesn't cause any irritation and leaves a refreshing finish. If you've struggled to find the right cream or are a 'cream nomad', try applying the oil alone and finishing off with it once.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsYou can mix a drop or two of the serum into your moisturizer and apply it, or on days when you're tired and bothered, you can just lightly absorb the retinol oil after your hydrating ampoule. I was satisfied that there was no dryness and no breakouts! I thought it was a high-concentration retinol product, so I used it cautiously, but I was glad that it didn't irritate my skin as much as I expected.
ConsThe scent is a bit unpleasant, so it takes some getting used to. However, once you get used to it, it's still bearable. After opening, it's best to store it in the refrigerator and use it up as soon as possible, but since it's not a product that you use a lot at once, the amount doesn't decrease too quickly.
TipEven though I store it in the refrigerator, I'm still a bit hesitant to use it for a long time, so I mix it into my body lotion and apply it when I'm doing leg massages.
