I'm on my second bottle of this product, purchased with my own money! As someone with super sensitive skin, I've always wanted to try retinol but was hesitant. When my favorite brand released a retinol product, I decided to give it a shot! Despite usually having trouble with irritating products, the Sidmool retinol ampoule isn't irritating at all, and I'm happily using my second bottle. Initially, worried about potential irritation, I applied it only to my forehead, nose, butterfly zone, and chin as the final step in my evening skincare routine. The next morning, I woke up with glowing skin! Now, on days when my skin feels fine, I apply it during the essence step. On more sensitive days, I focus on applying it to my forehead, nose, and chin as the final skincare step. There's definitely a noticeable glow when I apply it before bed, and knowing retinol is beneficial for the skin, I plan to continue using it consistently! Thank you for creating an affordable product that even those with sensitive skin can use!
Cons
Well... it's not a high-concentration retinol product, so if you're expecting powerful retinol effects, you might be disappointed.
Tip
For those with super sensitive skin, try applying this over your moisturizer!

I switched from Innisfree's retinol product to this because it was getting expensive. This is one of the gentler retinol products, making it great for daily use. I've used 2 or 3 bottles without any blemishes. While I haven't noticed dramatic changes, I feel uneasy if I don't use it, so I keep coming back to it. The scent isn't artificial, more like a natural ingredient smell? It's not overpowering, which I'm satisfied with.
Cons
I've been using Sidmool since my student days. If only they could make the packaging a bit more stylish, it would be perfect.

It absorbs well and has great application! Since I've only used it once, I'm not sure about any long-term improvements.
Cons
Perhaps because it's free of artificial fragrances, the scent isn't great. However, it does feel healthy on the skin.

It absorbs well and gives a feeling that your skin is improving! However, the results weren't dramatic.
Cons
The downside of Sidmool products is their short shelf life once opened.

I've been consistently using this along with Noscarna ointment to get rid of extraction scars, and they've faded significantly! I was worried about potential irritation due to the retinol, but there wasn't any, and I didn't experience any breakouts either. I'm still using it regularly and I'm extremely satisfied... I've attached real photos for reference. For maximum effectiveness, it's crucial to use it in combination with Noscarna ointment...
Cons
So far, I haven't experienced any issues and I'm using it well! If anything comes up, I'll add it later.

I like this. When applied at night, the skin texture is different the next day. It's smooth. This is the biggest advantage. The ingredients include squalane, niacinamide, bakuchiol, and manekasosaide retinol. Various functional ingredients for wrinkles, pores, etc. are included, but there aren't many other additional ingredients, so it's simple and good. And compared to other brand cosmetics with similar ingredients, the price seems to be almost half. The application is like a serum and it's moisturizing. There's no dryness the next day.
Cons
Difficulty with accessibility? Improving blemish traces, I'm not sure, just a little bit faded? I've been applying it generously to trouble spots every day, but it hasn't really done that. The yellow serum, so when I apply it and before it's fully absorbed, if I cover myself with a blanket, the blanket sometimes gets a yellow stain.

This is a great product for beginners to retinol. It contains low-dose retinol and bakuchiol, and is formulated with a variety of beneficial ingredients, including centella, in a soothing manner. The biggest concern with retinol products is irritation, but since this has a low concentration, the irritation is definitely minimal, and I thought this would be a suitable introductory product.
Cons
Personally, I do not prefer retinol products. Even though they are said to have a good effect on the skin, I do not particularly like the fact that they cause irritation. I have a sensitive skin type that takes quite a long time to adapt, and based on my previous experience using retinol products, my skin got quite worse during the adaptation period, and even after adapting, I did not experience enough of an effect to justify going through that adaptation process. It's not that there are no alternative products with different ingredients, and I personally think it's better to use gentler products without irritation. I also don't like the fact that when retinol is included, I'm forced to use other ingredients that I don't prefer. If you really want to use retinol, I recommend using a high-concentration product consistently after quickly adapting your skin, and thoroughly following precautions like using sunscreen. Also, the characteristic scent of retinol and bakuchiol products was quite noticeable in this product as well, and that was not a very pleasant experience for me while using it.

Glides on smoothly, absorbs well! After applying and letting it sit, the skin looks smooth and great the next day. The product seems to have been renewed, and the new version looks much nicer!
Cons
The smell may be a bit polarizing, but it's easy to get used to.
Tip
Applying it by mixing with a moisturizer feels comfortable and good.

I tried purchasing a product to improve the marks left behind after popping pimples and scarring, as the reviews were good. I'm completely satisfied! First of all, the texture is refreshing yet not drying at all. It absorbs quickly, so it doesn't interfere with makeup application. I had previously used a high-concentration retinol product that caused my skin to peel significantly, so I was afraid to use it, but this one suits my skin gently. Most importantly, when I looked in the mirror one day, I noticed my complexion had brightened and the tone had evened out. The reddish marks have also faded a bit, so I recommended it to my friends as well.
Cons
The only downside is that the capacity is small, so it runs out too quickly.
Tip
Since it's such a gentle product, I've been applying it morning and evening, but those of you who will be using it in the morning should apply sunscreen generously.

I have inflammatory acne on my chin and cheeks, and I've been dealing with acne for almost 10 years, so I have a lot of acne scars. Even a slight lack of care on my forehead causes small pimples to appear, and my pores are enlarged. First of all, I'm very satisfied with this product! The formula is refreshing and lightweight, so it's not stuffy, and it's very gentle with minimal irritation. Most importantly, I could see the blemishes disappearing. I used to use the Innisfree retinol ampoule, but it was too irritating and made my skin red and peeled. So I thought retinol might not work for me. But this product suits me well. Retinol also helps with exfoliation, so I didn't have to do separate exfoliation, and just applying this ampoule consistently at night made a noticeable difference when I washed my face - my skin became completely smooth. The scent is like banana chips, which I found acceptable. The formula is completely oil-free and refreshing, and it applies well and leaves my skin hydrated. However, using this alone can be drying, so be sure to follow up with a cream.
Cons
Hwahae? It's not irritating even if you apply it to acne. I recommend it.👍
