  Pros

  Smooth application with no pilling The cream texture applies smoothly and isn't heavy, so you can comfortably use it as the final step in your skincare routine without feeling weighed down. It also works well under makeup without causing any pilling. Gentle formula Despite containing retinol, I was able to use this product comfortably without any tingling or redness. Even with my sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes. In fact, I was surprised by its soothing effect. Calming + Skin barrier care I noticed that when I applied it at night, especially on days when my skin felt sensitive, the redness and tightness were reduced by morning. Recommended for retinol beginners or as a daily soothing retinol product.

  Cons

  Lack of noticeable quick results There weren't significant changes in wrinkle improvement or skin texture refinement, which are typically associated with retinol use. However, its gentle nature is meaningful, and long-term use might yield expected results.

  Tip

  A retinol starter product that even those with sensitive skin can use with confidence ✔️ Satisfactory effects on soothing and strengthening the skin barrier, but slower than expected for rapid skin changes ✔️ Recommended as a gentle, calming retinol cream for those wary of retinol side effects

  Pros

  The ingredients are gentle, and when you buy it on sale, the price isn't bad either.

  Cons

  I didn't notice any significant improvement in wrinkles or fading of blemishes or marks. I'm not sure it's worth paying a premium for the active ingredients.

  Pros

  The ingredients are great and it absorbs well, leaving the skin moisturized. You can use it comfortably both morning and night without any concerns.

  Cons

  Although it's labeled as having anti-wrinkle and brightening properties, I'm not really sure about its effectiveness in those areas.

  I use this because unlike other retinol products that can trigger breakouts, this one doesn't irritate my skin or dry it out

  Cons

  While it's gentle, the effects seem minimal. I'm not sure about its wrinkle-reducing benefits
