I've also noticed improvements in wrinkles and skin texture.
ConsThe scent isn't particularly pleasant. And being an oil, it feels a bit greasy.
TipI have mild atopic dermatitis on my face, so I'm applying it every other day, focusing mainly on my nose and the areas around it!

I've almost finished a whole bottle. Since it's high in retinol, I only use it once a week. It's been helpful in reducing fine lines, and my dark spots have faded too.
ConsI applied two drops and tried to massage it in for better absorption, but my skin felt hot. The next day, my cheekbone area was red and swollen. It's best to use this carefully. Apparently, the retinol can be quite strong on the skin.
TipDon't get greedy - use it in moderation!

I noticed visible wrinkle improvement when I applied it to my neck!
ConsUnfortunately, as someone with acne-prone skin, I found that it actually caused more blemishes when I used it on my face, so I can't use it there.
TipTry using a small amount on areas with wrinkles!

Using just a couple of drops at night makes it last incredibly long. I switched from Innisfree due to its small volume for the price, and this seems to be a good alternative. While the Innisfree one was effective for blemishes and redness, this one doesn't show any impact on those issues, unfortunately.
ConsIt would have been perfect if it worked on blemishes and redness too. That's a bit disappointing. Sometimes it stings, but I'm not sure if it's this product or another cosmetic that doesn't agree with my skin. Still, it's more comfortable to use than Innisfree.
TipIt can be a bit rich, so try using just one drop for a few days to start.

ConsEven though I'm using it while my skin adapts, it's still too irritating and takes a long time to recover. The short shelf life and need for refrigeration are also drawbacks.

I initially bought it as part of a free shipping deal, but I liked it so much that I've already repurchased!
ConsAfter application, it leaves a sticky residue that makes my hair cling to my face.

It's not only effective for wrinkle improvement, but also great for gently managing dead skin cells.
ConsThere's absolutely nothing to complain about. It's a perfect product to use without any irritation.
TipWhen I mix it with my cream or essence, I can use it daily with zero irritation. It's just perfect!

I've been using it for 2 years since learning it smooths out fine lines and boosts collagen production. After long-term use of beginner retinols, this was my first high-concentration product. Despite being a strong 0.5% retinol, I was pleased it didn't cause irritation. Two years ago, my initial reaction was a face full of redness and blemishes, so I felt proud and relieved when my skin started to glow during the adjustment period. At the same time, I was nervous about switching to a new product. If this is your first retinol, I recommend a patch test and starting with low frequency and small amounts (twice a week, a few drops for the whole face) to allow for an adjustment period. Although it has a rich oil texture, it absorbs relatively well. As winter has arrived, I suggest applying it at the serum stage after thoroughly prepping your skin. Finish with a rich hydrating cream! Use only in the evening and sunscreen is a must the next day. After a few days, the most noticeable change was significantly less visible pores when applying makeup and smoother skin. (See photo - it's embarrassing, but it shows the butterfly zone where my pores were most prominent). Makeup adheres better, and bare skin feels more elastic. There's a subtle glow to bare skin, and although I unfortunately(?) started my cycle during the product use, it was also effective in calming blemishes. Personally, I started using retinol mainly for acne, so I think its anti-inflammatory effects, acne bacteria removal, oily skin improvement, and removal of pore-clogging skin cells were helpful during this period.
ConsDue to its rich oil texture, a small amount may not be enough to cover the entire face. First-time retinol users might wonder if they need to mix it with other ingredients, but this could be problematic as it might conflict with components that hinder interactions. If this texture is the result of an optimal concentration, it would be nice to have larger volume options as a solution.
TipI have combination dehydrated, acne-prone skin, so I'm using Stridex Red, then a toner (with a soothing effect), retinol, and finally a hydrating cream or regenerating cream. Usually, my face feels very tight in winter, but this year I haven't experienced any deep dryness yet, even without taking hyaluronic acid supplements!

I was told it needs an adjustment period, so I started by mixing two drops with my cream every other day. Now I use it every evening, and my skin feels smoother. I was concerned about fine lines between my eyebrows, but after just 10 days of consistent use, they've noticeably faded. Of course, you have to apply it regularly for results. I was worried that oil-based products might cause blemishes, but this oil didn't cause any blemishes or small bumps at all.
ConsThere's not really anything negative to say, except that the dark bottle makes it difficult to see how much product is left.
TipFor best results, apply 2-3 drops to your palms at the final step of your skincare routine. Allow it to absorb slightly, then gently pat and smooth it over areas with fine lines and across your entire face, following the direction of your skin's texture.

As someone with oily, acne-prone skin, I was hesitant to use an oil, but I learned that the right amount can actually prevent excess sebum production. Usually, by afternoon, my face would be a greasy mess, but with this oil, I get this beautiful glow...?? It makes my skin look incredibly healthy and radiant. Despite being an oil, it doesn't feel sticky at all and absorbs into the skin with a satisfying firmness!
ConsThere aren't really any downsides, but if I had to pick one, it would be the need for refrigeration...??? It's a bit of a hassle, but I'm willing to put up with it because the product is so amazing.
TipRemember not to apply it during the day and always make sure to use sunscreen diligently!
