  Pros

  Using this with the serum, I noticed my blemish marks faded much faster. Despite being a cream, it's not heavy and applies smoothly, leaving a fresh finish. There's hardly any irritation typical of retinol, and I could feel the soothing effect simultaneously, making it comfortable for daily use.

  Cons

  While the hydration is decent, it sometimes felt a bit insufficient during the peak of winter. Also, using both the serum and cream together meant I went through the product faster than I'd like.

  Tip

  I've been using it like a sleeping mask before bed~ It's quite good!

  Pros

  I have sensitive, blemish-prone skin. The texture is a translucent, light cream that feels refreshing when applied. It absorbs exceptionally well and doesn't feel heavy on the skin.

  Cons

  As soon as I applied it, my blemish-prone areas started tingling, and I even developed new pimples. I stopped using it after just one application.

  Pros

  As someone with combination dehydrated skin who really hates sticky products, this was a game-changer. My first retinol experience left me unimpressed - it was too greasy in application and finish, so I stopped using it. But after reading reviews that this product wasn't oily, I decided to give it a try. I'm pleasantly surprised - it absorbs well and leaves my skin feeling fresh, just like a hydrating moisturizer.

  Cons

  However, I'm a bit disappointed with the retinol benefits. I'm also not sure about its effectiveness in strengthening the skin barrier.

  Pros

  The finish is so refreshingly light, making it perfect to use before makeup! My skin barrier felt so compromised during winter, but after using this for a short time, I could feel my skin recovering.

  Cons

  I wouldn't recommend this for extremely dry skin in winter! While it does leave a refreshing finish and feels moisturizing, it doesn't completely satisfy your skin's hydration needs.

  I thought it would be a thick cream, but it feels like a refreshing moisturizer. It's hydrating and smooth on the skin.

  Cons

  The quantity is a bit disappointing considering the price. I wish it came in a larger size.

  Pros

  The texture feels refreshing, and since it's not a high concentration of retinol, it's gentle on the skin.

  Cons

  However, considering the volume and price, I don't think it offers great value for money.

  Pros

  The texture is a bit lighter than a gel cream! It's my first time using a retinol cream, but I was amazed that there was no tingling sensation even on sensitive skin, and it left a refreshing finish! It absorbs well and even calms the skin. Plus, it's almost fragrance-free, so those with sensitive noses can use it comfortably! I recommend this for those with sensitive skin, combination dehydrated skin, or anyone wanting to try a retinol product for the first time!

  Cons

  The price, of course! While it's a good product, it's not exactly on the affordable side!

  Pros

  For a drugstore product that's not primarily focused on retinol but includes additional benefits like cica, blemish care, and skin barrier support, I didn't expect much in terms of retinol effects. But wow! When I started using it after a break, I felt a slight tingling - a sign that it's working! My skin texture has improved too. It's definitely retinol alright! I also love how it absorbs well due to its light, refreshing texture.

  Cons

  For those with dry skin, this might be a bit too drying. I wish it had a bit more richness to it. Also, while the lightweight formula makes you want to apply more, the bottle is quite small. Considering that, it's not really that affordable after all.

  Tip

  Don't forget that sun protection is absolutely essential when using retinol! If you experience any retinol-induced irritation, try applying some Bepanthen ointment to soothe your skin.

  Innisfree really knows how to make a great cream. It absorbs well and feels refreshing on the skin.

  There's nothing I'm particularly disappointed about. I'm using it well and I'm very satisfied.
