While I didn't notice dramatic results, I'd recommend it more for dry skin than oily skin.
ConsIf you have super sensitive skin, it might actually cause blemishes. For extremely oily skin, this product isn't ideal. It's so rich that you can barely use other serums with it.

My first retinol experience was a total disaster! Those with sensitive skin, please be extremely careful. I had been using only gentle products and hadn't had a single blemish lately. But after trying retinol just once, I broke out in bumpy acne.
ConsNow that I'm in my late 20s, I thought I should start managing my elasticity! That idea turned out to be a big mistake... I used the tiniest amount, just a rice grain-sized drop, and carefully applied it to my forehead, nose bridge, and cheeks. Even with such a small amount, I still developed small bumps and red blemishes. I should have just saved my money for professional dermatological treatments instead. I beg those with sensitive skin to be cautious with retinol. I noticed a slight itching sensation right after applying it. Just one use of my first retinol product left my skin irritated and bumpy. I don't think I'll be able to use retinol again in the future. Since that one application, I've only been using soothing products to calm my skin. I spent good money on this, but now I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm scared to sell it in case someone else has a bad reaction. I'm considering just throwing it away.
TipI was thinking about trying a cheaper retinol product, but decided to go for an expensive one since I have sensitive skin. It seems that for those with sensitive skin, sticking to gentle products is truly the best option.

Not a single thing...
ConsAfter applying it and sleeping, I woke up with something like hives or tiny blemishes. It was a bit itchy right after application, but this is just too much... I'm not sure if it's the shea butter that doesn't agree with me or what. I bought this set on sale at Ol** without checking the ingredients, and my face completely broke out. When I finally looked at the ingredients, I was devastated... If you have super sensitive skin, please make sure to test it before purchasing!!!!

It gives your skin a nice glow when applied.
ConsThe product seems good, but it might not suit my skin. After two days of use, I've noticed a lot of small blemishes, especially on my forehead.

I applied a small amount morning and evening, and it made my skin texture smoother and even tightened my pores, which was great.
ConsUnfortunately, after the third day, things took a turn for the worse. I tried adjusting the amount, only applying it in the evening, and even taking breaks for a couple of days before reapplying, but I kept getting blemishes. I wonder if it's because of the shea butter - my skin doesn't usually agree with it. Even though it worked well for those first three days and I tried various approaches, I kept getting inflamed, persistent acne in different areas, so I had to give up. I'm planning to give it another shot when my skin is in better condition.

My skin seemed more elastic, had a nice glow, and even felt like it had less sebum production.
ConsThe main drawback is the high price. Using it daily seems to cause slight irritation, leading to some blemishes. I'll try reducing use to every 2-3 days. Maybe my skin barrier is compromised?
TipI only use it at night.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- Reasonably priced for an IOPE product. Got it for around $40 at Olive Young with a free mini sample - Maintains inner firmness, gives a feeling of elasticity - I have concerns about large pores in the T-zone, and while the pores didn't shrink, they didn't seem to sag either
Cons- When applied to acne-prone skin, it doesn't seem to make things better or worse - Since retinol can be irritating, I did experience a few breakouts while using it
Tip- I heard somewhere that to reduce irritation, it's good to apply it in a sandwich method: toner - IOPE serum - toner. This seems to work well

ConsEven with a low retinol content, I still experienced some irritation. Small blemishes appeared, and I didn't notice any significant results.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is quite fluid, like an emulsion, making it easy to apply. It absorbs incredibly well into the skin. Some people mention a slight tingling sensation when first applying, but I didn't experience that at all. I'm thrilled to see that my enlarged pores have significantly reduced! I'm extremely satisfied!
ConsInitially, as my skin wasn't accustomed to it, I experienced some blemishes. However, after about a week, everything settled down and was fine.

While long-term use would reveal its true effects, after just 3 days my skin reacted badly, so I can't continue using it.
ConsIf you have acne-prone skin, avoid this at all costs. My skin, which had finally cleared up, has now gone back to being a disaster.
TipAbsolutely do not use this if you have severe acne-prone skin!
