The product was made by IOPE, which has been researching retinol for over 30 years, so I trusted it. Especially, it contains IOPE's proprietary 'Prescription Retinol' that helps reduce skin irritation and absorb quickly. The moment I applied it, the formula felt soft and melted into my skin smoothly. After using it consistently for a few days, my skin felt much firmer and smoother after cleansing. It absorbed lightly without feeling heavy or stuffy, so I can use it comfortably morning and night. This serum is a '0.0 Irritation Retinol Serum' that minimizes irritation, so even retinol beginners or those with sensitive skin can use it easily. It has passed skin clinic tests, sensitive skin tests, and hypoallergenic tests, which gave me more confidence. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to address skin elasticity and texture in one product.
ConsThere's really nothing else. When it comes to retinol, it's definitely Amore Pacific, right? It's gentle and good, good.

It spreads on smoothly and gently, and there was less irritation than expected. With consistent use, my skin texture became really smooth, and the appearance of fine lines and pores seemed to improve a bit. I felt like it was worth the money!
ConsNonetheless, due to the nature of retinol, there was a bit of dryness in the beginning. Especially for those with sensitive skin, an adjustment period seems necessary. And the price is high, so I did ponder a bit when it came time to repurchase... Using it generously every day is a burden.
TipAt first, I recommend using it only once every 2-3 days, and in very small amounts. And on the days you apply retinol, be sure to apply a generous amount of moisturizer to care for your skin barrier! Sunscreen is an absolute must during the day. I was able to use it this way with hardly any irritation.

It has an absorbent formulation and doesn't feel sticky after application. After applying retinol and generously layering a moisturizer, my skin feels soft and supple when I wake up in the morning. I highly recommend this to anyone new to retinol.
ConsThe concentration is somewhat disappointing. It would be better if the retinol content was slightly higher.

I feel like my skin has become more radiant and my skin texture has improved. I used the Innisfree Retinol Serum for a long time and then switched, and I'm very satisfied!!
ConsIf the retinol suits you without any issues, it would be a decent item.

I'm not sure if I see any noticeable effects. I bought it after seeing good reviews on YouTube. It applies well, doesn't cause any trouble, and is all good, but the amount is too little.
ConsThe price is expensive and the amount is too little. Since it is applied to the face twice, it runs out quickly.
TipJust slap it on twice in a row.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Amore Pacific Retinol Serum - Suitable for beginners, but the amount is disappointing ' I bought the Amore Pacific Retinol Serum because it was said to be good for people trying retinol for the first time. It was certainly quite suitable as a beginner's product, with minimal irritation. I had used Retrides before, and this was much less stinging, so I could use it comfortably. ' The texture also spreads smoothly, and I was able to use it comfortably the next day without any particular trouble. However... the really disappointing thing is the volume. The amount is too little compared to the price.
ConsConsidering the nature of retinol products, consistent use is required to see skin improvement effects, but I found that this product ran out quickly after using it for a while. I'm not sure about the effectiveness yet, and I didn't feel like there was a drastic change with just this item. I would recommend this as a decent introductory product for those trying retinol for the first time, but for long-term use, the price-to-volume ratio is something that should be carefully considered.

I was always hesitant because my skin reacts sensitively to retinol, but the IOPE product's 'low-irritation retinol' was just right as a starter. For the first 1-2 weeks, I went through an adaptation period every other day, and now I apply it every night without any irritation, and my skin has become smooth. The formula applies smoothly like a thin cream and has almost no stickiness. It also absorbs quickly, so there's no burden moving on to the next step. I can feel my eye area, laugh lines, and forehead wrinkles gradually smoothing out, and my skin texture has become visibly smoother without affecting my makeup application. Highly recommended for those who want to try retinol! It's gentle and safe for skin improvement. With consistent use, you'll definitely feel your skin gaining firmness and a refined texture.
ConsDry skin may lack sufficient moisturization when used alone, so it is recommended to use it in conjunction with a cream. While it may have a less immediate effect compared to high-concentration products, it focuses on stable changes.

ConsThe price...? I used retinol ingredients because they are popular, but the price still feels a bit expensive.
