However, as I have oily skin, it was a bit too shiny for me. These days, I've been taking pantothenic acid, so the shininess has almost disappeared. I bought it because it was inexpensive, and it's just so-so.
ConsToo shiny for oily skin! I think it's more suitable for those with at least combination skin.

After applying it to the face, I was able to spread it evenly without it running down, which was convenient. 💫Fragrance It was almost odorless and did not have an unpleasant, pungent smell. 💫Usage Experience As a retinol beginner, I applied it every other day, and always used sunscreen in the morning. Since it does not contain a high concentration of retinol, it did not cause any breakouts, so I would recommend it to other beginners. The next day, my skin felt smooth and supple. However, since I've only been using it for a week, I haven't seen significant pore reduction yet, but I think I need to use it for longer to see those effects. As a highly concentrated serum, I felt it provided good hydration. I think this product would be better suited for winter use rather than summer.
Cons💫The dropper dispenses a small amount, so I had to dip it in and out of the bottle multiple times, which was a bit inconvenient. 💫Compared to the other serums I normally use, this one has a slightly thicker texture. After applying it, when I touch my cheeks, there is a slight sticky, pulling sensation. Since it is a highly concentrated serum, it felt a bit oily to me. (Other reviews mentioned that it absorbs well and feels refreshing, but I had the opposite experience.) Personally, I don't like the heavy, occlusive finish, so I don't think I'll be reaching for this product often. +) When I applied half a dropper to my forehead and cheeks (a total of 1.5 droppers), it felt a bit oily. But when I used only a third of a dropper on each area (a total of 1 dropper), it felt less oily and sticky. Now I understand why the dropper size is small. However, using a smaller amount may compromise the hydrating benefits, so I think I'll layer it with another serum.

Scent: Slightly minty, but barely noticeable Usage: Tacky and applies well, with a slight oily feeling afterwards (I have very dry skin in the winter, and this feels good for winter use, but may be too much for dry-skinned individuals to use on its own) After using it consistently for a week, I found that it works best when layered after a skin toner or moisture serum, as it helps to lock in the moisture and make the skin feel more supple. The slight oiliness I mentioned doesn't feel like excess sebum, but more like a healthy glow after waking up. So if you apply it generously and sleep with it, your skin will look brighter and your skin barrier will feel more strengthened and smoother. +) I've also tried the Number 3 serum from the same brand, which has similar benefits for skin texture, but it has a bit more oiliness and a slightly 'heating' sensation when applied. So if you find the Number brand's typical 'heating' sensation uncomfortable, this product might be a good alternative that still provides firmness and texture improvement.
ConsThose with very dry skin may need to use additional moisturizing products and layer them with this. Those with very oily skin may find the oily feeling a bit uncomfortable!
TipIt works best when layered after a skin toner or moisture serum, as it helps to lock in the moisture and make the skin feel more supple. I'd recommend using it in the evening, before bedtime, rather than in the morning.

This one absorbs quickly and effectively according to my skin type! After cleansing, I used this ampoule directly without a toner, and it absorbed quickly and left my skin feeling plump. The texture is like a blend of lotion and ampoule, and it applies smoothly without any stickiness. The scent is almost unscented, and there was no noticeable fragrance that bothered me. In terms of hydration and elasticity, it performed well. And out of the retinol products I've tried, this felt the gentlest. The great ingredients make me feel confident using it. Since retinol products often require extra care, I appreciated how easy and comfortable this was to apply without any issues. As an effective product, I'd even recommend this to my mom since it's not heavy.
ConsI had to pump the dispenser quite a few times, as each dose came out in a small amount, which was a bit frustrating. And the finish left a slightly oily film on my skin. Oily skin types may find this a bit too heavy. When I first used this during my menstrual cycle, with a lot of hormonal breakouts on my chin, it didn't dramatically calm down my blemishes.
TipI prefer to apply ampoules directly to my face using the dropper. This way, I can apply it without warming it up in my hands first. Just be sure the dropper doesn't touch your skin to avoid transferring any bacteria.

The formula is a dense ampoule type, and I was worried about the black carrot scent, but it was fine and pleasant. As I'm approaching my 30s, I've become increasingly concerned about aging management, and I've become interested in the retinol ingredient, so I started looking for various retinol products. I had the opportunity to try the Black Carrot Vita A Retinol Firming Ampoule, and I started using it. Although I'm not sure if there are any noticeable pore effects yet since it's only been a week, I feel like my skin has become more firm. As a *dry-oily skin type, I'm particularly sensitive to skincare products (even a little oiliness can immediately cause breakouts), but the appropriate oil content and moisturizing properties make it very suitable for daily use during the fall and winter seasons! I'd recommend it to oily skin types for use during the dry transitional seasons and winter.
ConsI haven't had any issues so far! However, since I'm a *dry-oily skin type, I think there might be a bit of oiliness when I use it in the summer. I'll try it out in the summer first, and if it feels too heavy, I'll switch to using it in the fall and winter!
