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.

I could feel a slight tightening around my eyes and smile lines. With consistent use, you'll notice your skin becoming more supple and firm. The texture isn't runny, but rather a rich cream-gel consistency that glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly. It's not too greasy, making it suitable for combination skin types as well!
ConsThere's a slight tingling sensation when skin is sensitive I noticed a bit of irritation when my skin wasn't in the best condition. Make sure to properly prep your skin with a good skincare routine to minimize any potential irritation.
TipFor best results, apply this product after thoroughly cleansing and toning your skin. If you have particularly sensitive skin, you might want to do a patch test first. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to seeing improvements in skin elasticity and firmness.

Despite being a retinol product, it spreads quickly and easily. It's not overwhelming, which makes me very satisfied! Plus, it's quite moisturizing.
ConsAs expected with a serum, using it alone isn't quite enough! It's essential to follow up with a cream.
TipThis product works hard to deliver results. Its absorbs well without feeling sticky, making it perfect for layering in your skincare routine. While it provides good hydration, those with combination dehydrated skin or those prone to deep dryness might want to pair it with a richer moisturizer for optimal results.

When I use it before bed, I can definitely feel my complexion has improved by morning.
ConsIt's quite pricey and the amount is small, so it runs out quickly. Since it's said to be sensitive to sunlight, I only apply it at night.

In the evening, use a high-concentration retinol, and in the morning before makeup application, a low-concentration retinol with a comfortable, lightweight texture that does not feel heavy during makeup. You can expect smooth, overall skin care results even with the low-concentration retinol.
ConsAfter initial introduction, the effects may not be absent, but in the long term or depending on the age group and wrinkle improvement expected effects, it would also be good to increase the content, and it would also be good to establish a routine by dividing the high content into morning and evening.
TipDuring the day, even with a low concentration, it is common to apply sunscreen together to see the retinol effect, and there is a sufficient feeling that separate care for exfoliation or skin texture is not necessary.

It contains 1% retinol, so the concentration is high, yet my skin was not irritated at all, which was great. This low-irritation retinol can be used without concern even for sensitive skin, so I would recommend it to those new to retinol. 😊
ConsThe product had a nice glide, so I thought it would be refreshing, but to my surprise, it ended up feeling a bit oily. For those with oily skin, the shiny appearance may be a concern. While I didn't experience any breakouts, the areas with visible pores did feel slightly congested.
TipAfter cleansing, I apply a moisturizing toner to prep my skin. Then, I use this serum! My skin is slightly oily, so I've been using a Japanese oil-absorbing powder. *The Japanese powder I use is one that can be applied even after sleeping.

This is my holy grail retinol serum!
ConsI didn't notice any difference in wrinkles or pores. I'm on my second bottle now, and I haven't seen any significant changes.

While it might feel like it sits on the surface at first, gently patting helps it absorb well. I'd recommend this for those with sensitive skin who usually can't tolerate retinol. The retinol concentration isn't too high, so it's suitable even for daytime use for some people.
ConsThe quantity is quite small and it's on the pricey side. I wish it were more affordable, especially since it needs to be applied consistently.
TipI use it both day and night. It's light enough for wrinkle prevention. Overall, I'm quite pleased with it.

I trusted this product because it's made by IOPE, a brand that has been researching retinol for over 30 years. I was particularly impressed by their proprietary 'prescription retinol' which helps reduce irritation while enhancing absorption. The moment I applied it, I loved how it gently adhered to my skin and absorbed quickly. After using it consistently for a few days, I felt my skin become much firmer. Every time I cleansed my face, I could definitely feel that my skin texture had become softer and smoother. It absorbs with a fresh feeling, without any heaviness or stuffiness, so I've been using it comfortably both morning and evening. This serum is especially great because it's a 'zero-irritation retinol serum' that can be used during the day, minimizing irritation. It seems perfect for retinol beginners or those with sensitive skin. I felt even more confident knowing it had passed dermatological tests, sensitive skin tests, and hypoallergenic tests. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve skin elasticity and texture in one go!
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad to say. When it comes to retinol, IOPE is the go-to. It's gentle and great.
