It seems like an introductory retinol product. There was almost no stinging or irritating feeling. The skin did not immediately show noticeable improvement, but after applying it consistently as part of my evening skincare routine for over a week, the results became apparent. The product has good spreadability and absorbs smoothly. While the difference is not drastic, my skin texture has become softer and more moisturized. I hope to see increased skin elasticity by continuing to use this product consistently.
ConsThere are no regrettable points, but I'm wondering what else I should write. Haha
TipSerum and cream combinations are said to work better, so I'll try using them that way!

The efficacy feels similar, but since the cream formulation is absorbed more slowly than the serum, it seems to be less irritating. I saw improvement in skin texture, and the retinol content is not too high, so even my sensitive skin could use it without much irritation. The lightweight formulation absorbs into the skin like water, making it suitable for oily skin.
ConsThe pore improvement effect was not greatly noticeable. While the retinol content may be relatively low, resulting in a less dramatic effect, this level seems suitable for sensitive skin! Those who have already extensively used and adapted to retinol may not feel the full effects of this product.
TipSensitive skin should be tested for skin reaction by applying it to the inner arms, wrists, etc. first. If it's okay, then you can apply it. Last year, I experienced various skin inflammations such as contact dermatitis and folliculitis, making my skin more sensitive. So I don't use high-performance products like retinol often, and I only use this product 1-2 times a week. Use sensitive skin products by adjusting the frequency according to your skin condition. Retinol is said to be effective for wrinkle prevention and elasticity improvement, so I also apply it to my neck!

ConsThere are no regrets. It would be good if there were products with different retinol contents.

ConsI've been using this product for a while, so my memory is a bit hazy, but I think I felt a slight irritation when I first started using it! I would recommend starting with a small amount at first.
TipAs I mentioned before, I usually use this in the evening. After fully hydrating my skin with an ampoule, I finish with this cream! Then when I wake up the next day and look in the mirror, my face has a radiant glow✨️

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 product is from a drugstore brand, and while it's not primarily focused on retinol, it has additional functions like cica, blemish, and barrier support. So I didn't have high expectations for the retinol effects. However, when I started using it, it stung a bit! But my skin texture has improved, and yes, it does contain retinol. The lightweight and easy absorption are also nice features.
ConsThe texture was too dry for my dry skin. It would have been better if it had a bit more oil content. Also, the lightweight formula made me use a lot, but the volume is quite small. Considering that, it's not that affordable either.
TipYou know that sun protection is essential, right? If you develop retinol dermatitis, apply Bepanten ointment.

ConsConsidering the price, the effects are a bit disappointing. If your skin is not particularly sensitive, it might be better to use a cream with a higher retinol content.
TipOn days when I had blackheads and clogged pores, using this moisturizer instead of a regular one helped to tighten my pores and gave a less congested feeling.

When I apply it at night and go to sleep, my skin feels super smooth the next day. I highly recommend it for sebum control and pore reduction!
ConsI heard that AHA and BHA shouldn't be used together with retinol, but I'm not sure if it's also not okay to use retinol cream together.
TipDon't forget to apply sunscreen in the morning the next day!
