You can twist the green part on top to reveal a pump, which dispenses the formula when pressed. It's quite innovative. The product itself applies smoothly and absorbs quickly - just a few gentle rubs and it's fully absorbed into the skin.
ConsI haven't noticed any wrinkle-reducing effects yet. I've been primarily using it on my neck due to pronounced neck lines, but whether it's just my high expectations or not, I haven't seen any softening or improvement in that area.

It didn't cause any irritation, and even with my sensitive skin, I didn't experience any breakouts or discomfort. It seems quite gentle overall! The texture is like a thin cream - not exactly matte, but with a slight richness. It reminds me of a more fluid version of Physiogel.
ConsFor someone with combination dehydrated skin like mine, it might be a bit too heavy for summer use. I'm not sure about its effectiveness for brightening or wrinkle improvement yet. I've been using it for about a week and a half, so I'll need to use it longer to really tell!

The button-style dispenser releases just the right amount with a satisfying 'pop', making two pumps perfect for application. It's great for avoiding product waste. * Texture: It has the perfect 'essence serum' consistency - not too watery, yet not as rich as a cream. * Application: It's ideal for use after cleansing, just applying the Docto-Skin-Essence Serum. While it might be slightly lacking for those needing extra hydration, adding a cream or emulsion works well. It absorbs quickly without pilling, and doesn't leave a heavy feeling, making it a great lightweight emulsion alternative. * The scent is gentle enough even for pregnant women to use without discomfort. ** It's perfect as a light emulsion substitute or as the next step after toner for skincare minimalists like me.
ConsI couldn't confirm any wrinkle improvement effects. This could be due to the short 2-week usage period.

I'm quite sensitive to ingredients, and this was my first time trying a retinol-based product. Since it was new to me, I used it every other night, focusing on areas with wrinkles. It contains brightening and anti-aging ingredients, so I paid special attention to applying it on my dark circles, eye wrinkles, and neck lines. I appreciated that it's nearly fragrance-free and doesn't contain harmful ingredients. It applies smoothly without any pulling, leaving my skin feeling moisturized and hydrated. I didn't experience any breakouts, stinging, or irritation when using it. The packaging prevents leakage, making it convenient to use, and it's easy to control the amount.
ConsDue to the oil-based ingredients, it felt a bit sticky if I applied too much initially, but it absorbs quickly. Since I've only been using it every other day and haven't used it for an extended period, I can't speak to its brightening and anti-aging effects yet. I'll need to use it longer to determine its effectiveness.

A gentle retinol-containing product Products containing retinol, well-known for anti-aging, are quite popular. However, many people are afraid to use them due to potential irritation. The Botaretinol Youth Repair Solution Serum is great because it's not very irritating despite containing retinol! Still, for those with extremely sensitive skin, I recommend using it sparingly, focusing on areas where aging is a concern. 2. Moisturizing cream texture The texture is like a rich, smooth eye cream, which is perfect for use during these drying times! It's not too greasy though, and finishes with a fresh feel, so it shouldn't be too heavy even for those with oily skin. I suggest applying your regular moisturizing skincare first, then using this serum before your cream for best results.
ConsI'm not sure if you'll see dramatic wrinkle improvement in just a few days of use... But with consistent application, I'm sure there will be effects! There's a slight cheesy scent? A bit of a peculiar smell, but it should be fine for those who aren't sensitive to fragrances. The packaging has a twist-top that reveals the pump for dispensing the serum, and the inner container can be replaced. This makes the actual volume feel a bit small compared to the overall size. Given the current trend towards reducing plastic, a simpler container might have been better~
TipAfter cleansing before bed, hydrate your skin with your regular skincare routine, finish with this serum, and enjoy a good night's sleep!

The cream wasn't heavy or suffocating at all. Hydration: I have combination dehydrated skin, and even when I only applied this product after toner in the evening, my skin didn't feel dry at all. Irritation: I was worried because retinol is known to be harsh, but this product wasn't irritating at all. There was no stinging or itching, making it an excellent choice for retinol beginners. Blemishes: After using it for about a week, I didn't notice any increase in blemishes.
ConsWrinkle improvement: Perhaps because I've only used it for a week, I can't really tell if there's been any effect on wrinkles yet. I'll need to keep using it consistently to see results. Complexion improvement: Similar to wrinkle improvement, after a week of use, I haven't noticed any changes yet. Blemishes: I've heard that retinol speeds up skin cell turnover, improving complexion and acne, but I haven't seen any particular reduction in blemishes.
TipFor those looking for dramatic effects like complexion improvement and wrinkle reduction from retinol, I think it might be better to use a stronger product with a higher concentration.

First off, I absolutely love the packaging - it's so sleek and easy to use. The absorbs well is great, with no pilling at all. I've been using it consistently since it's supposed to be good for hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. When I apply it as part of my night routine, my skin still feels hydrated the next day.
ConsIt doesn't seem to absorb super deeply into the skin. I haven't noticed any dramatic smoothing of wrinkles that would make me go 'wow'. As for hyperpigmentation, I'm not sure yet - I'll need to keep observing.
TipI've found that if I use a light layer of toner and serum, then apply this product and help it absorb with a device, it seems to penetrate deeper into the skin.
