It seems the retinol product is working well for me, but since I'm a beginner, I started with a low concentration. Once I finish this, I'm thinking of trying a slightly higher concentration product, either from the vt brand or another. I haven't seen any dramatic effects on my skin yet. When I layer it a few times, I only feel a slight tingling sensation.
Cons
I didn't really find any reason to not recommend it. I'm just using it for management purposes, and next time I'll challenge a higher concentration!
Tip
Retinol should only be applied in the evening, and it is best to avoid using it on the same day as exfoliating, as it may compromise the skin barrier.

Retinol is said to be effective for wrinkles, so I bought it and have been using VT Ridel Shot 100 and 300 recently, so I think the combination will be good. I received the first Retinol 2 cosmetics. It may not suit my skin, but it fits my skin perfectly ^^ Using Retinol well Do not use a lot from the beginning, use a small amount and gradually increase the amount ✅ 2. Do not use with products containing acidic ingredients such as vitamin C, AHA, and BHA 3. Do not use with exfoliating products, peeling products, and beauty devices that can cause irritation 4. Be sure to use sunscreen if you apply it in the morning ^^ I use it in the morning too ㅎ My pores have really shrunk The wrinkles under my eyes and on the inner cheeks are really helpful, Retinol is amazing I highly recommend it ^^
Cons
Do not use this product together with products containing acidic ingredients such as vitamin C, AHA, and BHA.
Tip
In the morning, be sure to use sunscreen. Do not use a lot at first - use a small amount and gradually increase the amount.✅

▪️It professionally cares for pores and creates a smooth and elastic skin! ▪️It spreads thinly and is well-absorbed, leaving a moisturized feel! ▪️It is a pump product and has a milky, runny texture!
Cons
Vitamin C products cannot be used together, and beginners should start with a small amount and gradually increase it!!
Tip
Using the Sika Reti-A cream can provide additional benefits for pore care.

🩵Skin Type: Dry 🩵Age Group: Early 30s 🩵Texture and Formulation: It's a creamy formula that's dense yet matte. It absorbs well into the skin and doesn't feel sticky or heavy at all! 🩵Effects: I was worried it might be too drying, but after applying it and then using a moisturizer on top, it wasn't drying at all. I'm not sure if it's reducing my pores yet, but I'll have to use it more to see. I'm satisfied that there's a retinol product I can use in the morning! 🩵Fragrance: It has a typical cosmetic scent.
Cons
💚There wasn't really anything bad. It's a good option to wear in the summer without feeling burdened.

I switched to this 4th generation retinol product after finishing the previous brand's 0.1% retinol. So I applied it directly without any adjustment period. 1. My skin, which is highly affected by seasons, became more refined as the weather suddenly got warmer. 2. The large pores on one side of my nose area have definitely tightened up. 3. It's a pump-type product in an opaque container.
Cons
I don't have any particular downsides yet. If I had to fill 20 characters, I'd say the price is not exactly cheap.
Tip
I know how to minimize side effects and apply it properly.

The retinol product is easy to use without any burden. It's mild, not too strong, and spreads well.
Cons
The amount seems too small. It runs out quickly, so a larger size is needed.

The product was great because it contains retinol, which is good for wrinkle and pore care, so applying just one product gives you multi-functional benefits. The texture was also comfortable to use, and it didn't feel heavy or sticky on the skin, which I was satisfied with.
Cons
Well... if I had to nitpick, the volume might feel a bit small.

This essence contains cicapair ingredients and the currently popular retinol ingredient. The retinol content is 0.1%, which is higher than products like Innisfree and Primera, so it may be too strong for beginners. However, the cicapair ingredients seem to have a soothing effect, so it wasn't too problematic for my oily skin. Although I have large pores and a lot of sebum, my skin isn't overly sensitive, so the retinol ingredient seems to agree with me. However, when I first used it, my skin did feel a bit dry. Still, after using it, my skin feels soft and smooth, and my pore visibility has decreased, so I'm overall satisfied with the retinol benefits.
Cons
Even though my skin isn't sensitive, using this daily may dry out and thin my skin. The retinol content is higher than other products, so you need to follow the usage instructions carefully. Many people also overlook that retinol is an ingredient that pregnant women and women of childbearing age need to be cautious about. Even if the concentration is safe, it's best for those planning a pregnancy to avoid it.
Tip
I'd recommend starting by mixing just a tiny amount into your moisturizer. If that goes well, you can gradually increase the amount.

The packaging may have been inexpensive, but the contents were not. It absorbed moisture well on dry days and the pump dispenser worked nicely.
Cons
The packaging design... If I had to nitpick, I wish the formula had been a bit more dense and creamy.

Unlike Lidel Shot 100, it doesn't sting, so it can be used comfortably without burden.

If you have sensitive or delicate skin, please do a patch test.
