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 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.

I thought the Amore Pacific Retinol products would be at least average since they are so well-known, so I just used the sample. I peeled one open and used it for about 3 days, and my skin seems to be glowing. I used retinol for a while, then stopped at some point, but as I'm getting older, I think I should start using it again. When I finish what I have, I might buy some for my mom first.
ConsThe price is a bit on the expensive side. It would be good to wait for a discount or a live event.

Unless my skin is in an extremely irritated state, there was no irritation. The effects can be seen after using it for a few days, so it is a pretty good item.
ConsWhen your skin is really sensitive, it's best not to use it. After all, it's retinol...
TipWe recommend starting with retinol. Please apply it carefully and focus on moisturization.

I prefer unscented products, but the slightly refreshing scent is nice. It applies smoothly without any residue and is quickly absorbed. After absorption, it does not feel like the moisture is evaporating, which is good. It definitely helps with exfoliating and refining the skin texture, and the pores appear smaller. The difference before and after using is noticeable, which is great. I was worried about the retinol ingredient causing irritation, but it has not caused any issues for my skin at all. I will definitely repurchase this product.
ConsThe price may not be cheap, but I suppose the product is of good quality. However, I wish they would have more sales.
TipApply together with niacinamide.

Since my skin is thin and combination, even a slightly irritating cosmetic product would cause redness and stinging. But this product has none of those issues. It can be used daily and is good in many ways. Makeup also does not cake.
ConsIt's a bit on the pricier side, so I'd recommend purchasing it in bulk when there's a sale.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis was my first experience with retinol. I've used about 21 samples in total. The serum is a light yellow color. When applied, it felt gentle and had moderate moisturizing properties. The very first time I used the retinol, it caused such severe peeling around my mouth that someone could have mistaken it for a rash. However, as I became more accustomed to it, it ended up making my skin look the best it's ever been. It's highly recommended. Now that I'm used to retinol, it's just so-so. But this product is truly great for first-time retinol users and beginners. After using it up, I seriously considered buying the full-size version, as it even seemed worthy of being given as an expensive gift. If the price were more reasonable, say around 30,000-50,000 won, I would have bought the full-size product without hesitation and continued using it. But unfortunately...
ConsIt's expensive. It's too expensive, isn't it? It was 70,000 won in the early 24th year, and even now it's around 50,000 won based on the Olx standard... I was shocked by the price, and this ultimately led me to find a more reasonably priced retinol instead of my first retinol. In the end, I am now using a different retinol.
TipRetinol first-time users are advised to use only a small amount.

Since it contains retinol, the presence of some oil is actually beneficial. If applied incorrectly, it can cause redness the next day, but this formula is non-irritating and allows me to manage wrinkles effectively, which I'm quite pleased with.
ConsThe price is too expensive ㅠㅠ... Please lower the price
TipI apply it only before going to bed safely, and as soon as I wake up in the morning, I wash my face~
