It's great to use this in the winter as it's moisturizing. I have a lot of freckles, blemishes, and pore concerns, so I really wanted to try a product with retinol. Even though I have sensitive skin, I tried this product first and liked it so much that I repurchased it.
ConsSince this product has an oily feel, in the summer it feels heavy and thick, so I don't reach for it as much. But I'll bring it out again in the winter!
TipThey say that if you use a vitamin C product in the morning and a retinol product at night, even sensitive skin can use them without too much trouble.

Not sticky (like a hydrating serum). I was relieved to find that it's not as irritating as I had expected. I can't recall the scent, which means it's not particularly strong or unpleasant.
ConsSince this is my first time using retinol, I can't really compare it. I feel like the absorption is a bit slow. It just feels hydrating without any oiliness. (This may be a downside for dry skin types)
TipBe sure to apply sunscreen properly

It has a pleasant musky scent, and the ampoule bottle design and texture are so beautiful that I would want to use it to hold other ampoules.
ConsIt has too much oiliness. Retinol is a component used for wrinkle management, and when the time comes to manage wrinkles, even skin that was once oily can become dry. However, as a vibrant 20-year-old, the oiliness is too much for me. But the oiliness means I have to use it sparingly, so it will likely last a long time.
TipAfter showering or cleansing, you can just apply this without any other basic skincare products. If you layer a toner on top of this, you'll end up with a sticky, oily combination, so I recommend just using this on its own.

But since this product is mild, I didn't experience any side effects. I started using it every other day, and for the past 3 days, I've been using it every evening. The low oil content is perfect for my oily skin. I've been mixing about 4 drops of it into my moisturizer and applying it every day.
ConsWhile the lack of oil is good, the product also lacks moisture, so I've been using more moisturizer than before. Since this is a mild product, the effects don't seem to be showing up immediately. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, and I think I'll need to use it for a bit longer to see the results.
TipAs this is a retinol product, you should only apply it in the evenings and make sure to use sunscreen during the day. I already use sunscreen daily, so it wasn't much of an inconvenience for me, but for those who don't normally use sunscreen, it might be an extra step. If you're new to using retinol products, I'd recommend starting by using it every other day to see how your skin reacts, and then gradually increasing the frequency.

It spreads evenly when applied and absorbs quickly, helping to address dryness. The fragrance is a blend of herbal and lemon notes, similar to what you would expect from a sunscreen. Personally, I found the scent quite acceptable without any aversion. As this is my first time using a retinoid product, I've only been using it every other night. While I haven't seen major effects yet, I'm satisfied that it hasn't caused any sensitive skin reactions.
ConsThe moisturizing aspect is a bit lacking. Since there is very little oil content, it doesn't seem to maintain moisture for an extended period. For dry skin types, it may be difficult to use on its own and would likely work better when combined with other products.

As you can see, my skin is thin and transparent, It easily gets irritated during seasonal changes, And I get a lot of acne even though I'm not in my teenage years. To cut to the chase, I think this product is really good for me. I've been using water-based ampoules and essences all this time. Since I have oily skin, I often felt that thicker formulas weren't absorbing well and just sitting on the surface, which I really dislike. I prefer a dewy, bouncy skin texture. The texture of this product is like runny mucus, so I was worried it might be too sticky or just sit on top of my skin. But it absorbs into my skin so well that I barely feel any residue left behind. It's too early to see dramatic effects since I haven't used it for a long time, but I can already see visible improvements in my skin texture and complexion after waking up. And it seems to calm down my breakouts without any irritation. I will definitely repurchase this once I finish the bottle.
ConsDespite the texture, it actually lacks moisture after application. Since I have oily skin, I still feel a bit of dryness inside, so I definitely need to follow up with a moisturizer.
TipI'd highly recommend applying a generous amount, especially at night or before makeup, and then topping it off with a rich moisturizer. The difference in my skin when I wake up is really noticeable!

I can't say that my skin felt completely comfortable, but I'm very satisfied with how little irritation there was. 👍 It absorbed very well. It spread easily and absorbed quickly, so it was easy to apply the cream. There was an immediate brightening effect on my skin the next day.
ConsAs a whitening product, it's definitely lacking in moisture and oil... You'll need to apply the cream generously...
TipJust in case it irritates, I apply the cream focusing on soothing and hydrating. 😁

I've decided to use retinol. I use it after my evening cleansing. There are no breakouts or irritation, and it's almost fragrance-free. After using it for about 2 weeks, there wasn't a significant change, but my facial contours seem to have lifted a bit, perhaps from using it together with exfoliation or from weight loss. Haha. I'll keep using it consistently... The dropper type is very convenient and nice. The affordable price is also appealing. There's no stickiness, moisture, etc.
ConsThe downside is that I can't really feel any effects. It's been just an ordinary experience using it. Ah! There's no moisture, so I need to supplement with another product for hydration.
TipTry using it together with exfoliation!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product contains pore-clogging ingredients for oily skin, so I thought wrinkles might decrease and breakouts might occur, but I'm not sure if the wrinkles have decreased yet since I haven't used it for long, but I didn't experience any breakouts. When I first saw it, the color was quite white, so I was worried it might be too oily, but using about 3 drops on my face wasn't heavy at all. It was too heavy to use as an eye cream, but just right for the drier areas where I used to apply a light serum. It's good that I didn't have to avoid using it on my blackheads or oily areas, as it worked well there too. I'm not sure if it's just a feeling or an actual effect, but it seems like the wrinkles under my eyes have lightened a bit since I stopped using an eye cream.
ConsIt doesn't seem to be very moisturizing. It felt a bit lacking in the areas that tend to get drier. It has a bit of a lacking moisture feeling? If my skin was drier, it might have been fine to layer it, but since my skin is oily, the oily feeling made it uncomfortable to apply multiple layers. So I only used it after toner. The amount feels a bit too much for a product that should only be used in the evenings.
TipI'd recommend using it together with a more hydrating product.
