After applying, I feel a slight warmth, and it seems to give my skin a bit of firmness. It absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling smooth. Despite being a retinol product, it's not irritating, so I used it without worry.
ConsAfter opening, it spoiled faster than I expected, so I couldn't use it for long and had to throw it away. You need to use it up quickly.

It's not irritating to my skin and doesn't cause any blemishes, so I comfortably apply it following the instructions before going to sleep.
ConsThe instructions mention applying sunscreen the next day after using this product. Sometimes I forget to apply sunscreen, but I try my best to remember. The only downside is that it's one more step added to my skincare routine.

Unlike the 0.1, this product has an oil-based formula, which absorbs well and doesn't feel irritating at all.
ConsI'm not sure if it's actually effective for my skin. When I used the 0.1 version, I noticed my complexion looked brighter the next day, which encouraged me to use it consistently. However, with this product, I don't really see that kind of improvement.
TipI recommend applying this retinol and then layering a regenerating cream on top as part of your skincare routine!

Unlike other pricey anti-aging products, this one offers a chance to experience retinol at a reasonable cost. Following the guide, I gradually increased usage and didn't experience much irritation. I either mix it with my essence or apply it after. With consistent use, I've noticed a definite improvement in skin elasticity. On days I use it, my pores seem visibly tighter! Since skincare is more about prevention, I think this could be a great entry-level anti-aging product for those in their mid to late 20s looking for an affordable option.
ConsHmm... there aren't many downsides. The only slight inconvenience might be the need for refrigeration due to the nature of the ingredients.
TipI found that mixing it with essence makes it apply more smoothly!

ConsThe bottle design is too wide, making it difficult to hold and use comfortably
TipI use vitamin B first, then A. I don't use it with vitamin C

Surprisingly, there's absolutely no irritation. With an abundance of squalane, it not only provides excellent hydration but also prevents unnecessary sebum production. Definitely considering repurchasing.
ConsThe absorption is absolutely terrible, haha! Well... it's okay since I only apply it at night. If there are plans for a future renewal, I hope they consider adding other retinoids like retinol, retinal, etc. Rather than just increasing the concentration, I'd prefer if they improved the overall quality.

I transitioned directly from 0.1 to 0.5, gradually adapting my skin to it!
ConsAs for drawbacks, I haven't really noticed any significant ones yet.

Since it's a high concentration, I plan to continue using it while respecting the adjustment period. After use, my skin texture feels more refined.
ConsSometimes there's a noticeable oil scent. If you don't control the amount well, it can feel greasy and might not absorb properly.

It's a retinol product, yet there's no irritation whatsoever. Plus, it's not overly greasy and leaves a refreshing finish!
ConsPersonally, I'm not a huge fan of the oil formulation. Given its effectiveness and retinol content, I wonder if it really needed to be an oil? That's my only reservation. Still, it's a light, fast-absorbing oil that's definitely worth trying!
TipUsing oil alone on your face can be surprisingly non-irritating and leaves a refreshing finish! If you're struggling to find the right cream or consider yourself a 'cream nomad', try finishing your routine with just oil.
