Refreshing

Before bed, I've been using it like a sleep mask. It's quite nice.

The moisturizing power was quite good, but there were times when it was a bit lacking in the middle of winter. And since I used the serum + cream together, the depletion rate was faster, which was disappointing.

The blemishes faded much faster when I used it together with the serum. Even though it's a cream formula, it's not heavy and applies smoothly with a refreshing finish. There's hardly any irritation typical of retinol, and the soothing effect is felt at the same time, making it easy to use daily.

레티놀 시카 흔적 장벽 크림

Honestly... the point of being a bit too rich...? For someone as highly intellectual as myself, a slightly more light-weight feel would have been preferable.

The texture was smooth and easy to apply, and while it was somewhat oily, it didn't feel overly greasy, which I liked!

If it seems a bit lacking, try layering it on 2 more times? It will become more moisturized. I was fine with just 1 layer.

There's really nothing. It was also good to use, and it helped calm down any trouble, so there were no particular problems.

The cream's formulation was like a soft lotion, making it easy to apply, and its absorption rate was fast, so it did not feel stuffy. I applied it when I had breakouts, and it calmed them down by the next day, which I was pleased with.

The low-irritation retinol cream is suitable for even sensitive skin, effectively soothing the skin and strengthening the skin barrier.
The lightweight formula and quick absorption make it suitable for daily skincare, but for dry skin or those who desire more moisturization, we recommend using it together with additional moisturizing products.

Shortcomings
• Lack of moisturization: Dry skin may feel somewhat lacking in moisturization.

I am a dry, dehydrated skin type!

✅ Advantages

• Low-irritation retinol formula: The formula contains retinol and centella ingredients, so even sensitive skin can use it without burden. There were no irritations or side effects at all. I felt effective in reducing redness and improving the damaged skin barrier.

• Lightweight gel cream texture: The lightweight texture is like a soothing cream, so it's great to use when breakouts come up in spring and summer.

My skin is combination and sensitive, so I don't apply it every day, but only about twice a week. Even then, the surface of my skin peels off.
I bought the Innisfree Retinol Ampoule because it seemed good, and I wanted to try it, but I couldn't apply it to my entire face.

The product has a nice glide and the coverage is pleasing to me.
Though it doesn't suit my skin, my mother liked it.
My mother has dry skin and is not sensitive-skinned.
She says the product seems to lighten spots like freckles and suits her well.

Apply at night and be sure to thoroughly cleanse your face in the morning.

I didn't see the expected effects from retinol, perhaps because I'm on the milder side. It seems fine as an introductory product, but I'm not sure if it faded the blemishes.

The retinol cream seems to be on the milder side, so it might be suitable for someone trying it for the first time.

The capacity is small, but I'm not sure about repurchasing yet, so it would be great if the capacity increased or the price decreased. Since the effects on the skin only appear with consistent long-term use, it would be ideal if the product was made for long-term use.

The Innisfree Retinol Cica Scar Ampoule suits me very well, so I've been using it consistently. That's why I also purchased and tried the cream.

The gel-cream formula is lightweight like a soothing cream, so it's great to use during spring and summer when I have a lot of breakouts. Since it's a retinol cream, it also helps reduce redness. I used it without any issues.
However, since the ampoule was so good, the cream didn't give me a 'wow' or 'amazing' feeling, and I'm not sure if I'll repurchase it. If you're concerned about blemishes, I'd recommend trying it out. It's a good product for fading scars and redness.

No downsides
Doesn't irritate troubled skin
Gives a radiant, glowing complexion
Would repurchase the full-size product!

Lightweight and smooth application
Not too heavy even for oily skin
Used it as a night cream

There are no particular shortcomings. I think I'll have to keep using it to find out.

The ingredients are good. I still need to use it more, but so far it's good.

There's nothing in particular. Except for the barrier cream,
it's too light, so I need to find a compatible cream.

It's been about 2 weeks since I started using it, and I'm satisfied with the spreadability and absorbency.
Although it's a barrier cream, it's lightweight. I think people with oily skin would be satisfied using it.
I'm not sure about the residue care part since I haven't used it for long.
I'm on the sensitive side, but nothing flares up after applying it.
I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin types to use on its own.

While it is labeled as having wrinkle-reducing and whitening functionality, I'm not sure about the actual effectiveness.

The product has great ingredients and absorbs well, allowing for carefree use morning and night without any burden.

While it's non-irritating, the effects also seem rather mild. I'm not sure about its wrinkle improvement effects.

When I use retinol, my acne tends to flare up, but this product is non-irritating and doesn't cause dryness, so I use it.

As the retinol content is low, it may be difficult to see effects on pores and wrinkles.

This product is suitable for sensitive skin when starting to use retinol.
