I love that it's gentler than retinol and can even be used in the morning!
ConsI don't experience any blemishes, and it seems to tackle deep dryness effectively. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the only downside is the small size of the product.

Unlike retinol, it doesn't cause much irritation even with daily use. With consistent application, you'll notice a clear difference between when you use it and when you don't.
ConsDue to its high concentration, over time it can slightly solidify and discolor in the bottle. However, this is just a visual issue and doesn't affect its effectiveness. I didn't experience any blemishes either.
TipAt first, make sure to mix it with your essence or cream every 2-3 days. Never use it alone! While it's milder than retinol, it's not completely free of irritation. Overuse can lead to excessive dead skin cells, dryness, and a tingling sensation without you realizing it. After an adjustment period (which took me quite a while, so I mainly used it mixed), I could apply it daily without much irritation. Here's how I used up an entire bottle: 1. During the initial adjustment period, I mixed a drop or two with hyaluronic acid essence and used it every other day. 2. After adjusting, I applied toner generously, then spread two drops of bakuchiol serum over my entire face, followed by cream. This was a mistake - don't apply it all over. Focus on the T-zone and oily areas. It can make dry areas extremely parched. I ended up needing to apply a heavy winter moisturizer to dry areas due to itching. 3. Currently, I apply 3-4 drops of the pure serum only on my forehead, T-zone, oily chin and philtrum, and butterfly zone. Then I layer on plenty of hyaluronic acid essence and a cream rich in ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids. With this method, even in hot summer, my T-zone produces less oil and my makeup stays put longer. If used correctly, this serum can provide effects similar to a low concentration retinol, but with much less irritation. However, retinol is still superior for tightening pores. The downside of retinol is that even a slight mistake in application method or amount can lead to heat sensation, skin peeling, and flaking dead skin cells. For those wary of retinol, bakuchiol is a great alternative.

Retinol was too irritating and difficult, but this one has less irritation and good effects, so I'm satisfied. 1. Trouble This can't be considered acne soothing, but when used with soothing ingredients, the effect is clear. It has a drying effect on acne. And there's no oil at all, so there's no burden. 2. Pores They really shrunk. The pores were clearly less prominent when applying makeup. And the sebum that used to accumulate in the pores is no longer visible. 3. Complexion The acne is gone, and the pigmentation has faded as well. Plus, there seems to be a whitening effect, perhaps due to the niacinamide. Compared to the effects on trouble and pores, the complexion effect isn't as dramatic, but the complexion is definitely brighter.
ConsThe volume is small.. (First-time users may experience peeling, but please don't give up and try using it little by little. Of course, if it causes breakouts, it doesn't suit you, but if it's just peeling, I wish you would keep using it.
TipApplying Bakuchiol Ampoule > Madagascar Moisturizing Cream > Real Barrier Extreme Cream Doing it this way, the oil-moisture balance is good, and the effects were the best.

It took me about a month to finish one bottle, and my skin condition seemed to have improved, so I bought another one. The price was also not a burden, so I was able to purchase it without any concerns.
ConsWhen I first used it, I felt some irritation to my skin for a few days.
