  Pros

  I've passed my 30s and have recently become a 'Hwahae' (Retinol serum nomad), so I've been looking around and received a recommendation for an oil product, which I started using. I was a little worried since I've already adapted to retinol a bit, but I still mustered up the courage to purchase and use the 5% product. I thought the spreadability and being an oil product would be quite inconvenient, but it's not as inconvenient as I expected. In the beginning, I didn't apply it daily, but rather twice a week, and gradually increased the frequency. The next day after applying, I noticed a visible whitening of my complexion. The reviews say it's good for pores, but I feel like I'm seeing real effects on my complexion. It seems to be particularly effective for brightening.

  Cons

  Squalane is said to be good for pore management due to its ingredients, but to be honest, I'm not sure about that. And since it's likely due to the oil color, I think I should be careful about it getting on my pillowcase.
