Despite its high concentration, it's not irritating The formula itself has less of that slippery, oily feel typical of retinol products It also has a refreshing scent I've seen great results using this Out of all the retinol products I've tried, this one is truly the best The price is a bit steep You have to order it from overseas Sometimes it's out of stock for long periods due to limited supply There was a time I couldn't buy it for a while because of that I only use it at night Alternating it every other day with a vitamin C product Helps a lot with improving pigmented scars Applying a face mask or modeling mask after this product enhances absorption and boosts effectiveness - bo********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedAug 30, 2024
I bought this serum as an alternative to the famous bakuchiol serum on iHerb that's always sold out. They say it's packed with NASA stem cell technology, but what really mattered to me was whether it would be good for my skin. As my first bakuchiol serum with a slightly higher concentration, it did speed up my skin cell turnover, but my skin couldn't handle it and my blemishes got worse. A year later, when my skin calmed down, I tried the remaining bottle. Bakuchiol serums don't exactly whiten your skin, but they give you this 'Inner Glow' - like a freshly peeled egg - thanks to the increased cell turnover. It can be great if used correctly, but those with lots of blemishes or sensitive skin might see their condition worsen with frequent use. +Not recommended for those prone to blemishes! The brown bottle (I used the pre-redesign version) made it impossible to see how much product was left. Having to hold it up to the light to check was a bit inconvenient. Absolutely forbidden for those with sensitive, blemish-prone skin or active acne. If you're a first-time user, start with just 3 drops on each cheek and forehead, monitor the results, and then gradually increase the amount! This product feels less slippery and a bit drying after application. I recommend following up with a regenerating cream - it pairs well with products that help with dead skin cells. - po*****Combination SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedMar 21, 2024
Absolutely fantastic! Even though it's from overseas, I love it so much! There's one thing that's not so great, which is quite disappointing. - wl*******Dry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedFeb 10, 2024
Despite its high concentration, I'm using it without any irritation. The first time I used it, my skin felt incredibly smooth the next day. Although it's supposed to be high concentration, when I use it, it actually feels less potent than lower concentration products...? - dd*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsRecommendedFeb 5, 2024
Blemishes + Scars Combination Skin I switched to this product after using Innisfree Retinol for 3 months! Even though the bakuchiol content is much higher than retinol, it doesn't cause any tingling sensation - probably because it's a more stable ingredient. I've been using it for 3 weeks now! The texture is very fluid and spreads easily. It absorbs quickly too! Since retinol needs to be fully absorbed before moving to the next step, this is perfect. The scent is like a sophisticated, classic cosmetic fragrance. Just like when I first started using retinol, I noticed the most immediate effect on my pores with this product. It's not particularly hydrating, but it adheres well to the skin without feeling sticky at all! At just under 30,000 won for 30ml, I think it's very reasonably priced for a high-concentration retinol product. It's disappointing that it's an overseas product and needs to be purchased through direct shipping... need to stock up in advance. It's a shame it contains fragrance. Retinol works best when used as the first step! Make sure it's fully absorbed before moving on to the next step! I recommend following with just a light moisturizer. Use only as part of your night care routine! Not recommended for retinol beginners! - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsRecommendedJan 24, 2024
After applying it before bed, I can really feel the difference the next morning. My skin becomes incredibly smooth, pores appear tighter, and my complexion looks more radiant. It's been great for calming blemishes and gently fading scars. The effectiveness is truly impressive. Since it contains 2.5% retinol, it's crucial to remember that even if your skin doesn't feel tingly, it doesn't mean it's not being affected. Be sure to control the amount you use and how often you apply it! You can purchase this on iHerb. For storage, it's recommended to wrap it in aluminum foil and keep it in a cool place. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJul 10, 2023
Despite claims of intense irritation, my skin experienced no sensitivity International shipping takes a long time, and iHerb has been out of stock for over 3 months. Online prices for overseas products are expensive - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedMay 27, 2023
This is truly amazing! I'm usually not very sensitive to changes, but I can genuinely feel my skin has been upgraded... It's real! Since it's potent, you can't apply it too often, so you need to be careful when using it - ki********Dry SkinRecommendedFeb 6, 2023
If you use the right amount, you can feel your skin condition improving. I'd recommend starting with just a tiny dab, about the size of your fingernail. Personally, I rarely use it on its own... For those with super sensitive skin, I'd suggest sticking to lower concentration products for peace of mind rather than this one. - h.*******Combination SkinSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesRednessRecommendedDec 29, 2022
As you apply it, you'll notice your complexion improving slightly, and it definitely makes your skin feel smooth and silky It's a bit disappointing that you have to purchase it through international shipping
