Although I used to have blemish-prone and sensitive skin, my condition has improved recently, so I'm now more focused on addressing dark spots and pores. ✅ Appropriate retinol concentration: With 0.045% retinol, this product is great for beginners transitioning to higher strengths. This is my third retinol product - I started with a retinol derivative, then used 0.015%, and now I wanted to try a higher concentration, which led me to this product. ✅ Thoughtful packaging: The packaging is meticulously designed to prevent retinol degradation, and I appreciated the detailed information provided about this. The comprehensive usage instructions also make it a great gift option. ✅ Pleasant user experience: Despite not having a particularly low retinol concentration, it's gentle on the skin, possibly due to good stabilization. While it's recommended to use as a finishing cream after your regular moisturizer, the formula absorbs well without feeling heavy, making it suitable as a final step in your routine.
Cons☑ Slightly strong fragrance: I think it would be better if the scent was a bit milder. I'm currently in the adjustment phase and using only a tiny amount, but the fragrance still feels quite strong. It reminds me of the classic scent often associated with our mothers' cosmetics. ☑ Requires effort to squeeze out: This could be seen as both a pro and a con - the tube is quite stiff, so it takes some effort to squeeze out the product. While this might help with controlling the amount used (which is important for this type of product), it could become inconvenient with long-term use.
Tip✅ Works well with niacinamide. Using a serum or cream containing niacinamide creates a synergistic effect. ✅ When used alongside vitamin C, it may cause irritation. Therefore, it's recommended to use vitamin C during the day and retinol at night. Don't forget to apply sunscreen when going out.
