VITAMIN Retinol Repair Ampoule

Not Effective for Pore Care

Doesn't Sting

Not Irritating

Boosts Radiance

Moisturizing

Improves Complexion

Removes Wrinkles

Has a Brightening Effect

The formula contains only a small amount of retinol, with niacinamide and panthenol as the main active ingredients.

This ampoule really helped with blemishes and pigmentation!

Key benefits:
- Combines vitamin and retinol in one product
- Non-sticky formula
- Gentle enough for morning use

I love that it doesn't feel sticky at all and doesn't yellow the skin, so you can use it day and night. The perfect balance of oil and moisture prevents deep dryness too.

After about a month of consistent use, I noticed blemish-related pigmentation fading faster than usual, though not completely gone.

I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a gentle vitamin+retinol ampoule that can be used daily without irritation.

비타민 레티놀 흔적 앰플

That's all. I think it's a gentle brightening product. I use it as a base layer before applying other brightening products from The Ordinary.

Maybe it's because I use a lot of toner or because I apply it after a hydrating essence, but it doesn't seem to do much for my combination dehydrated skin with dark spots, blemishes, and fine lines. I don't feel like it brightens my complexion. It's just... there? Like, did it add any nourishment? And it's not exactly cheap... I've been using it for almost a month now, but my skin doesn't look particularly radiant.

I snatched this up as soon as I saw it on Pai unnie's YouTube. I don't like products that are too oily or sticky, so I was snooping around and reading reviews before I finally pulled the trigger on this one.

It's perfect for those who hate heavy, suffocating products. Even after applying toner 3-4 times and a hydrating essence (I was worried about irritation), this absorbs quickly. There's barely any scent. It absorbs well even when I pump out 4 times the amount. It seems fine without refrigeration. You could probably use it before makeup without any issues.

First-time users may experience some irritation, so start with a small amount and gradually increase usage.
Retinol works best when applied in the evening. If you use it during the day, always apply sunscreen - even if you're indoors all day. I skipped sunscreen once while staying home and ended up with red spots on my face.

The retinol concentration is on the lower side, so don't expect dramatic results all at once. I'll use this as a starting point and gradually work my way up to higher retinol concentrations.

Skin type: Dry / Sensitive / Prone to sun-induced pigmentation

An ampoule gentle enough for sensitive skin
If you experience tingling or irritation, use every other day
Contains vitamin derivatives for synergistic brightening effects
Relatively non-irritating for a retinol ampoule
Great starter option for those hesitant about retinol side effects

While it's probably best to use at night, I read that vitamin C should be used within 3 months of opening. So I've been diligently applying it during the day too, when I'm indoors!

This product seems to focus more on vitamin C than retinol! So those expecting significant retinol effects might be a bit disappointed.

Also, while I bought it specifically for its low-strength retinol, I wouldn't recommend it to those looking for a high-potency formula.

This is truly the perfect vitamin and retinol starter product for me!! I highly recommend it for those with sensitive skin and blemish scars like mine.

As someone with sensitive skin prone to inflammatory acne, I've always had reddish marks on my face. That's why I decided to try this product.
Since both retinol and vitamin C can be irritating, I chose this gentle formula as my first attempt!

Previously, products with even a small amount of retinol would make my face red and tingly, but this one is so mild and wonderful!! After about two weeks of use, I could definitely see improvement in my scar areas, and my overall skin texture became smoother. I plan to keep using it long-term.

Remember to store all retinol products in the refrigerator! When you take it out and apply it, it gives a long-lasting cooling effect that's really refreshing. It's great for calming heat and perfect for hot summers.

There's just one thing I wish was different. If the texture was a bit richer, it would be perfect. It absorbs too quickly when applied, leaving a slight feeling of dryness. However, since this product's main benefits are wrinkle prevention and brightening, it's still good to use as is. Just make sure to finish with a hydrating moisturizer for best results.

I've only recently decided to add a retinol product to my skincare routine, but I had no idea what to choose. So I watched Director Pi's video about retinol and was really surprised. Especially the part about how using products with high retinol concentrations initially can cause skin irritation. Following Director Pi's recommendation, I chose a product with a low retinol concentration for beginners. It's been two weeks since I started using it, and I'm just beginning to see results. My skin is very thin, so dark circles are really noticeable. But after using retinol, those dark circles have significantly lightened! I'm also using retinol for wrinkle prevention, and I can feel my skin becoming more firm. Of course, since it's still a low concentration, it's not a miracle worker that completely eliminates wrinkles, but with consistent use, you're bound to see results. A word of caution: applying too much retinol can irritate your skin, so it's recommended to start with a small amount and gradually increase. Since using this product, I haven't experienced any blemishes or allergic reactions. If you understand retinol and use it as directed, it won't irritate your skin or cause any adverse reactions.

This may only apply to me, but...
I feel the effects are good when I use it together with the 0 Tion cream!

Since this is the first time I'm using a product with vitamin derivative ingredients, there's a slight stinging or tingling sensation in the beginning.
But by adjusting the amount I apply and using a soothing cream as well, my skin doesn't feel burdened, and I've gotten used to it!

1. It seems to be helpful in improving traces.
Although it's only been about 3 weeks since I started using it, the acne scars and dark spots that I was concerned about have faded a lot!
I'm using it with satisfaction, and I believe that if I continue to use it consistently, the pigmented areas will eventually disappear almost completely...

2. It feels like my complexion has brightened a bit!
When I apply it in the evening and wake up, I feel like my skin looks more radiant!! This must be because of the vitamin C derivative ingredient, right??

I had tried the well-known 00 Sprinz product with retinol before, but it didn't seem to have much effect on my skin.
But after a friend recommended this product, I'm very satisfied with it!

My skin used to not be prone to acne, but over the past few months, it has been breaking out and I've been concerned about the scars.
But I heard that if there's an issue with the stomach or large intestine, the face can easily break out. So I've been taking some stomach supplements as well, and by using this product to care for the scars and also applying the famous 0 Tion cream to keep my skin moisturized, the effects seem to be showing up quickly.

For those of you whose skin has suddenly started breaking out like mine, I'd recommend using this product to care for the scars before they become deeper.

Don't apply this at the same time as other vitamin C products.
Morning: Vitamin C
Evening: Retinol (recommended)

You know it's crucial to apply sunscreen after your morning cleanse when using retinol, right?
Your skin becomes more susceptible to UV damage.

The issue isn't with the product, but rather a caution about retinol use!
If you're getting laser treatments, stop using retinol at least a week before and only resume after full recovery! Using retinol before laser can lead to hyperpigmentation!

I bought this low-strength product to start my retinol journey. What's great is that despite containing retinol, it's combined with a vitamin C derivative, allowing me to introduce both vitamin C and retinol into my routine at once!

Even though it's a low-strength retinol product, the concentration is just right - not too much. I use it with The Ordinary's Buffet, but using both daily made my skin super sensitive. As I have sensitive, dry skin, I only use retinol 5 times a week. This approach makes it less harsh and more agreeable for my skin.

They say you need to use retinol products for 3 months to see results. While I haven't noticed any major changes yet, I recommended this product to a friend, and her skin has improved dramatically! (Especially in terms of blemish reduction and pore minimization)

I'm currently taking a break as I'm undergoing laser treatments for my skin.

There aren't any. If the retinol content were higher, it might be more irritating. Everything is relative.

It's effective for wrinkles and sebum control, yet doesn't cause any blemishes. It's also hydrating and absorbs quickly without pilling.

This ampoule is great for retinol beginners or those who don't tolerate high-concentration retinol well. It's a good starting point. I applied it daily and experienced no irritation, skin flare-ups, or peeling.

They say humans are forgetful creatures, don't they? I wish there was a version with a slightly higher concentration available. The current concentration feels a bit too low, which is somewhat disappointing.

After a bad experience with S*ba A cream that caused my skin to peel off, I had given up on retinol. But I decided to try again with a milder version, and this ampoule is perfect for that. It's easy to apply without any worries. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I'm happy to report no irritation or peeling. What's great is that despite being a retinol product, it also contains moisturizing ingredients. After application, my skin feels hydrated and firm! The texture itself is quite thin. While the low concentration means there's no dramatic effect on pores or wrinkles, I can still notice my skin becoming clearer and my overall complexion improving.

1. Once, I applied retinol incorrectly and my skin reacted badly. I frantically applied soothing ampoules and this ampoule, which resulted in an oil explosion! As with everything, moderation is key. If you apply a moderate amount and follow up with a hydrating emulsion (I use Cellbrick), you can use it without irritation, even without an extra ampoule. 

2. Being an Olive Young product, it's quite affordable during their Black Friday or big sale events. I bought it for just 10,200 won during Olive Young's online Black Friday sale. 

3. It's best to do your research before starting with retinol. It's not cheap and can be a bit cumbersome to apply. However, the results are worth it. I'm currently alternating between low-strength, high-strength, and fermented ampoules.

To be honest, I bought it hoping to minimize pores, but it doesn't have much effect on them. It seems to work mainly for brightening and improving skin texture. For my next low-strength product, I'm thinking of trying Innisfree again, even though I had a bad reaction to it before.

I bought this low-strength retinol product based on Director Pi's recommendation. The brightening effect seems quite good. Being a low-strength product, it's not too harsh on the skin. Except for sensitive areas (for me, around the mouth), I can apply it daily without any issues, which is great. It also improves skin texture. What I'm most satisfied with is that you can get it at a great price during Olive Young sales!

I haven't found any downsides yet. It's a product I'm using happily!

A retinol product that's easy to use? I can feel my skin brightening, and it doesn't cause any tingling!
