I'm not sure if it's incredibly effective, but when I apply it thinking it might work, I feel like it's having some positive effect on my pores
Cons
While the price is a bit steep, it's still worth paying for. Good, good, good!

It absorbs beautifully and feels like it's deeply hydrating my skin from within. There's no sticky feeling, and it soaks in really well.
Cons
It's frustrating that I can't reach the bottom of the container. To use it all up, I have to shake it vigorously like I'm trying to get the last bit of shampoo out.

Since it doesn't contain a high concentration of retinol, I didn't notice any specific effects, but it worked well as a daily serum
Cons
I have sensitive skin, but even when I apply it generously, my face doesn't react negatively. This suggests the retinol content is quite low

Here's my review after using it for a month. It's entirely subjective. - Scent: Not particularly noticeable - Effects: Can't say much about wrinkle improvement, but it definitely makes my skin texture smoother. - Feel: Neither extremely hydrating nor oily. I have sensitive skin, and it didn't cause any blemishes. Additional notes: - I used this alongside Innisfree's retinol toner. While the toner stung when it touched my acne spots, surprisingly, this ampoule didn't cause any tingling sensation. - I bought this as part of a 1+1 deal and gave one to my friend with oily, acne-prone skin. At first, she said it pilled under her makeup the next day, but now she seems to be using it well. It didn't cause major blemishes for her skin type either. I initially bought it based on a recommendation from a friend with dry skin, and I chose this product because I heard Goodal products are gentle. - If you want to use retinol in an ampoule form, I recommend Goodal's. It's a skincare product you won't regret buying.
Cons
The dropper doesn't draw up much product, so you need to apply it twice - once on each cheek. It's a bit inconvenient to have to do this double action.
Tip
I mainly use it at night because I need to apply sunscreen during the day. Also, I don't use it every night of the week. Some days I want to focus on hydration instead.

I highly recommend this as an introductory retinol product. I've heard that high concentrations can be harsh on the skin, but this product is excellent for helping your skin adapt. It's a great way to ease into retinol use.
Cons
Due to its lower concentration, you might not see dramatic, eye-catching results. However, I found the formulation to be quite suitable and pleasant overall.

I appreciated that the ingredients were gentler compared to other products and left my skin feeling nicely moisturized.
Cons
Unfortunately, it caused blemishes on my sensitive skin, so I couldn't use it for long.

The best part is that it absorbs well and doesn't cause any irritation
Cons
The texture isn't as rich as I had hoped, so I'm not sure about repurchasing

As someone who has battled atopic dermatitis all my life, I've ended up with extremely dry skin and a body full of redness. My skin isn't perfect, with scars from scratching and patches of thickened and thinned skin here and there. But I'm a 50-something woman who confidently wears swimsuits in summer! While there are more ingredients that don't suit me than those that do, I'm a beauty junkie who doesn't just rely on EWG ratings to judge products. Instead, I check for ingredients I know don't work for me, and if I'm unsure, I'll boldly buy and try it myself. Pros: 1. I bought it during a special sale right after launch, so it was very affordable. For a retinol serum, the value for money isn't bad. I also bought the cream. 2. My previous retinol was 509 IU, which always left my face flushed. I wanted to try a gentler retinol product, so I chose this one with 506 IU, formulated with Jeju black carrots for a milder effect. 3. For extremely dry, aging skin, the texture has a balanced oil content. However, those with combination dehydrated or oily skin might find it a bit heavy. 4. I started using this in early summer and initially thought, 'Why does this absorb so slowly for a drugstore serum?' But considering the season and the fact that it's a retinol product, it makes sense. You'll understand why I felt it absorbed slowly, and why that's actually a good thing, as you read on. Cons: 1. Despite claims of low irritation due to its encapsulated retinol, Jeju black carrot extract, and ectoin, I had issues from day one. Even my previous product, IOPE's 0.2% retinol, didn't cause such a reaction. 2. From the first day, my skin started breaking out. The next morning, I had three blemishes - one each on my forehead, nose, and chin. It continued to worsen daily. 3. Despite my determination to give it a fair trial, after a week of use, my face was a disaster. I stopped using it and tried home remedies for two weeks, but eventually had to get treatment at a dermatologist. 4. While it's marketed as gentle, for my super sensitive, atopic skin, it was extremely incompatible. Both the serum and cream caused severe reactions. 5. After analyzing the ingredients, I suspect the carrot seed oil may have caused my blemishes.
Cons
After analyzing the ingredients list in Excel, I suspect the 'carrot seed oil' may be responsible for my skin troubles.
Tip
I've listed products containing carrot seed oil that didn't work for me. If you've had bad reactions to two or more of these, you might also be sensitive to carrot seed oil. Always check for this ingredient when buying products. For those with hypersensitive or atopic skin, don't blindly trust advertisements like I did. Always remember which ingredients don't suit you, and don't rely solely on EWG ratings. Carrot seed oil, orange peel oil, and camellia seed oil are all grade 1 ingredients, but they're extremely incompatible with my skin. I'm mentioning these because what doesn't work for me might not work for you either, but it's worth checking. Remember, these ingredients might work well for others - it's all about knowing your own skin. I hope my review is helpful, but I don't want it to discourage you from trying new products. The key is to understand your own skin's needs and reactions.

As a first-time retinol user, I'm pleased that it doesn't irritate my skin. It's great that it seems to tackle multiple concerns like brightening, wrinkles, and pores all at once.
Cons
I bought this mainly for pore care, but I'm not sure about its effectiveness yet.
Tip
A single drop on each cheek and forehead seems to be enough. It absorbs well.

This is a reliable and easy-to-use ampoule. I finished an entire bottle and found that it absorbs well and provides good hydration, especially suitable for summer use. As someone who dislikes sticky products, I appreciated its emulsion-like texture. Even if a bit remains on your hands, it absorbs quickly, leaving a fresh feeling that makes it pleasant to use.
Cons
I didn't notice significant improvements in wrinkle reduction or skin texture. I applied just three drops to my face, so perhaps I didn't use enough to see noticeable skin improvements. Also, it's a bit disappointing that the dropper couldn't reach the last bit of product at the bottom of the bottle. What a waste of my precious ampoule... (see photo)
