My skin texture became as soft as a baby's bottom, and my nasolabial folds even appeared a bit less pronounced.
ConsThere wasn't a significant effect on my pores, so I'll keep using it consistently.
TipIt's great to apply with a silicone puff~

ConsEven though I currently have problematic skin and am in a sensitive state, I didn't feel uncomfortable or anything due to the cautionary ingredients. However, for people who carefully check the ingredients when purchasing through Hwahae, it may be disappointing. Retinol itself is a highly functional ingredient, so you need to be careful about storage and application, as it can degrade and change color when exposed to UV light (for example, it can turn yellow). For any product, if the risk of the cautionary ingredients is not high and the amount is small, you don't need to worry too much about it. (I'm sharing this opinion because these days, there are many people who are overly concerned and scrutinize the ingredients.) Most products these days are made with great care to refine the functional ingredients, stabilize the ingredients, and match the cost, so you don't need to worry too much. I'm leaving this comment because it's regrettable that the amount of cautionary ingredients in high-functional ingredients is decreasing due to the current trend of scrutinizing the cautionary ingredients in products.
TipWhen applying to the delicate eye area, apply 1 cm away from the eyes. If you have dryness, redness around the eyes/mouth, or eye irritation when using a mineral sunscreen, do not apply it near the eyes. For those who have recently experienced an increase in milia or have recurring trouble spots, it is recommended to avoid applying in those areas or use it only 2 times a week. If your skin is not particularly sensitive and only slightly dry, you can properly experience the effects by lightly applying a low-irritation moisturizing ampoule, and slowly absorbing it using a device (such as an ultrasound or galvanic device).

ConsI really dislike PEG, so it's a shame It's not bad, but this product absorbs well and is good enough without PEG
TipAcne, pores, freckles, blemishes, and acne scars - this product will definitely be effective if you keep using it The retinol content is just right With all these great ingredients put together, I'd recommend this for any skin concern. I used it in the morning before sunscreen, and in the evening as a moisture essence Apply it on your neck and even your lips
