Pros
I really wanted to try Retinol since I heard it was so good. 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.
Cons
After 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.

Pros
Despite being an oil, it seems to absorb well rather than feeling sticky, and the retinol also appears to have good stability, so I'm satisfied.
Cons
Overall, I'm satisfied with the feel and stability. There are no disappointments.

Pros
I believe it spreads well and is also well-absorbed. 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.
Cons
The 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.

Pros
It's great for moisturizing in the winter, and after applying it, my skin feels a bit more hydrated and nourished. The absorption also seems quite quick.
Cons
There's a slight slippery feeling, and in the morning when I'm doing my makeup, it can cause a bit of sliding. It's best to use only a very small amount in the morning.
Tip
I think it's nice to mix a little bit of the cream into your routine as well. ◡̈

Cons
There were no disappointing aspects! There were no disappointing aspects!!!!!!! Ugh, it's so frustrating.

I keep it in the fridge and use it as a night care product every other day. If I apply too much, it makes me itchy, so I just use three pumps.

Pros
It absorbs quickly and has a high concentration of retinol, plus the price is affordable, so I really like it. When I applied it to my neck, I saw visible improvements in wrinkles!
Cons
Since I have acne-prone skin, when I applied it to my face, it actually caused more breakouts, which was disappointing and meant I couldn't use it on my face.
Tip
Try using a small amount on areas with wrinkles!

Pros
It feels good to use on sensitive and delicate skin without any trouble. When mixed with ampoules, it has less oiliness and absorbs quickly.
Cons
After using it for a month, I'm not sure if the wrinkles have faded yet. I also don't feel like my sebum has decreased, which is disappointing.
