It absorbs quickly and feels refreshing, making it a pleasure to use. With consistent application, I saw real improvements in my pores and skin texture. My skin became smoother, and I especially noticed my T-zone pores tightening up.
ConsThe downside is the lack of a larger size option. It runs out so quickly - I wish they'd make a bigger bottle! While it's a vita-retinol, the brightening effect on my complexion was a bit subtle, which was slightly disappointing.

My pores, skin texture, and overall complexion have improved dramatically. I think I've found my holy grail!
ConsI noticed a few blemishes popping up occasionally. I'm not sure if it's because of this product or if my skin was just having an off week.

Sometimes, when ingredients don't agree with me or are too harsh, I develop seborrheic dermatitis. This product is amazing for several reasons: ✨Despite containing retinol, it's not irritating at all. I've been wanting to try a retinol product, but many reviews mentioned irritation. After careful consideration, I chose this one. Even though it contains retinol and vitamin C, I can use it daily, both morning and evening, without any irritation. It's perfect for retinol beginners! ✨I've seen improvements in my pores. While my pores weren't particularly large to begin with, my T-zone tends to get oily as the day progresses. However, since using this product, I've noticed less oil production. It seems to control sebum and has even made my pores appear smaller. ✨It has brightening effects. I apply pure vitamin C in the evening and use this product instead of serum in the morning. The synergy must be working because my complexion has become noticeably brighter. ✨I haven't experienced any blemishes. Despite not having all-green grade ingredients, this product hasn't caused any skin reactions or pimples. I'll definitely repurchase this when I run out!
ConsIt's quite expensive... The price is high for the amount you get, so look out for sales. Also, sometimes when I apply base makeup over this product, it can pill a bit like dead skin cells. While the product itself feels light, that's a bit disappointing.
TipThe application method is a bit unique when you first use it. You need to press the nozzle until you hear a click, and make sure to shake it well before use to ensure the retinol and vitamin C are properly mixed.

Since retinol can potentially irritate the skin, I started by treating it with ointment. Once my skin calmed down, I began using this product. The ads made it seem like a miracle worker - strengthening the skin barrier, reducing pores, and brightening the complexion. I started using it with high hopes. A new, large textured spot appeared under my eye, but it disappeared after using this serum (though pre-existing texture didn't completely vanish). While some reviews mentioned pore reduction, I didn't see any dramatic improvement in the mask-induced pores on my cheeks, though they did seem slightly refined. Some people mix it with cream, but I recommend applying it alone. Despite having somewhat sensitive skin, I didn't experience any particular tingling sensation.
ConsEven though I bought it during an Olive Young sale, I still feel it's overpriced. I didn't notice any significant brightening effects on my complexion.

I feel like it subtly tightens my pores.
ConsThe price is quite steep for such a small amount. Unfortunately, there's no dramatic effect.

ConsApart from not being the best value for money, I don't really have any other complaints

It's like my pores have somewhat disappeared! I always make sure to use it the night before important days. I even apply a small amount under my makeup.
ConsIt was great overall, except that it might feel a bit heavy for those with oily skin.

ConsAfter using it morning and night for a few days, I started getting massive blemishes in places where I rarely break out. I'm not sure if it's because I have super sensitive skin and applied too much, but I'll have to stop using it for a while.
TipIf you have extremely sensitive skin like me, I recommend applying only a tiny amount or doing a patch test before purchasing!

I was worried about tingling or redness since it's a vitamin-based product, but that wasn't an issue either. Rather than completely eliminating pores, it seems to reduce their depth and improve pore elasticity, making them appear smaller. Compared to other retinols, it also feels less drying on the skin.
ConsThe price in relation to the amount... If you overlook the cost, there's nothing to complain about!

My bare skin looks better than when I'm wearing makeup. Although I still need to use makeup since the brightening effect isn't quite enough on its own, my skin care routine at night followed by cleansing in the morning creates a great base for makeup application.
ConsThe scent is a bit bothersome. While I don't mind it personally, I might skip using it on nights when I'm with my boyfriend as the smell could be distracting.
TipI'm using this product alongside a niacinamide serum and a hydrating cream containing peptides.
