Although I no longer experience frequent acne breakouts with consistent care, my skin still gets irritated by fine dust or seasonal changes, and acne appears when I don't get enough sleep. The most stressful issue for me is the acne scars, so I've been using scar ointment, but it feels greasy and doesn't seem to be of much help. I've also tried products with vitamin C, but they didn't work well for me, so I ended up finding retinol. My expectations for retinol are improvement in wrinkles and acne scars! Since I haven't used it for long, I don't have detailed results yet. First of all, it absorbs quickly! Many functional products are sticky or take a long time to absorb, but this product absorbs well and has a simple essence texture, which I like. It doesn't feel greasy! I'm very sensitive to oiliness, but it was fine. It's good for retinol beginners! With any cosmetics, it's better to start slowly or use products with lower concentrations of new ingredients to avoid irritation. This product has minimal irritation and doesn't contain a high concentration of retinol, so it was the perfect fit for me as a retinol newcomer.
ConsFragrance: The description said the 'unique fragrance fades over time, but it's not spoiled,' so I was curious about what the unique fragrance was. It's a bit like a pharmacy smell with a subtle sweetness (?) I generally prefer fragrance-free, but personally I didn't mind it. Some people may dislike it, so I included it as a downside.
TipAh, don't use it with AHA, BHA, etc.! Use sunscreen when applying in the morning!

My skin is quite sensitive, and when I use a lot of retinol or retinal products, my face often feels hot and irritated. However, I was able to apply this product generously and continuously without my face feeling uncomfortable or stinging! Since there is hardly any irritation, this doesn't seem to be a high-concentration retinol product. But for people like me who have been hesitant to use retinol products due to sensitivity, this could be a good lightweight option to start with!
ConsIf I had to nitpick, the scent...? It has a slight ointment-like smell. But honestly, it's not even a real downside - I'm just grasping at straws to find something negative to say.
TipIf you apply a hyaluronic acid toner or serum, then this product, and finish with the Physiogel lotion, your skin will look radiant and your makeup will apply beautifully the next day!

Absorbency 👍👍👍👍👍 The product has a thin, runny texture that absorbs quickly into the skin when applied and patted in. It also has a non-sticky finish that I really like! Of course, on dry days like today, I think it's best to follow up with a small amount of lotion. 2. Radiance ✨✨✨✨ I'm not sure if it's just my imagination or the camera, but my skin looked more plump and radiant than before. As this is an anti-aging product, I suppose the improved elasticity is the result of that. Haha. 3. Skin Soothing 👍👍👍👍👍 My skin tends to get very sensitive and flaky during seasonal changes, but after using this product for just a week, my skin has calmed down significantly! It does sting a bit when applied to the irritated areas, but the soothing effect kicks in quickly, so I've been able to continue using it.
Cons1. Fragrance While I understand this product is fragrance-free, it still has a somewhat medicinal scent. It's not particularly pleasant, but I suppose that means it's gentle. 2. Dryness This ampoule alone isn't enough for my skin, especially in this dry weather. I need to follow up with a small amount of lotion to keep my skin properly moisturized.
TipCleanse 👉 Wipe with toner 👉 Apply ampoule to problem areas 👉 Gently pat to absorb 👉 Finish with a small amount of lotion to lock in moisture

While I can't say it had a dramatic effect, I could feel my skin become soft and supple the next day after using it. It has a slightly watery texture, but it doesn't leave a sticky residue after application, which I really liked! It has a refreshing finish. Even though it's a retinol product, it didn't irritate my face and I was able to use it comfortably without any issues.
ConsIf you're looking for a more potent product with definitive results, this might not fully meet your expectations. However, I found it to be a great daily-use product. It has a slightly artificial citrusy scent, which some may find unpleasant. While I'm relatively sensitive to fragrances, it wasn't overly bothersome for me. But those who are more sensitive to scents may want to keep that in mind.
TipSince retinol is sensitive to sunlight, I only use it in the evenings. In the mornings, I gently cleanse my face with a mild cleansing foam.

(Not used in the morning & daytime) ❣ Brightening This is my first time using a retinol product, and I've been applying it generously. People around me say I look brighter. I'm not sure if it's the effect of the product or because I've been sleeping well lately. However, I don't feel that the freckles in the concentrated areas have faded or reduced in size. (Since it's been less than a week, the effects may not be very noticeable yet.) It seems like a good starter product. ❣ Moisturizing/Absorbs Well The texture is like runny mucus. At first, it may feel sticky and slightly powdery when applied, rather than just moisturizing. I thought the retinol would make it drying, but over time, it absorbs quite moisturizing. (Of course, you should apply a lotion on top of the serum! If you use this alone and feel dry, it won't work.)
Cons❣ Inflammatory Acne The breakouts on my chin haven't gone away since I started using it. I'm not sure if it's normal or just a coincidence, but I've been applying less around the chin area. It seems like I might have used too much, so I'd recommend gradually increasing the amount. ❣ Fragrance I'm not a big fan of fragrance in cosmetics, and this one has a strange smell... It's kind of like crushed grass and the scent of new clothes. It's not overpowering, but the artificial fragrance leaves me with a question mark every time I use it.

It applies smoothly and gets absorbed quickly without leaving a sticky residue. I can apply it before my morning and evening makeup routines without affecting the makeup. I've been using it for about 7 days and it seems to be effective on my acne scars. The photos show the before and after results.
ConsThe product has a slight medicinal scent, but it becomes less noticeable as you use it. It has good moisture content, but the hydration doesn't last long, so I need to use other products along with it to prevent dryness. After applying it multiple times, I noticed the product runs out quickly, and it seems to be effective only on acne scars.
TipThis product can be used as part of a consistent skincare routine, both before makeup application in the morning and evening. With continued use, I believe the results will become more visible.
