This serum has a nice consistency that absorbs well. Though it's an ampoule, the finish is more refreshing and smooth than deeply moisturizing! Those with oily skin could likely use this year-round, while those with dry skin should pay extra attention to hydration in winter after applying. I'm not sure about the retinol concentration, but it didn't feel irritating at all. No small bumps or blemishes appeared after use. Overall it was good, but I deducted one star because there are too many ingredients - I prefer products with fewer than 30. That's just my personal preference though! I'll update on any changes in pores after finishing the whole bottle.
ConsThere's not really anything disappointing to mention. The scent is close to unscented, with just the faintest hint of a medicinal smell. But it's not noticeable enough to be bothersome and you can't smell it at all once applied.
TipI only used this in my evening routine. I applied it after toner and essence, followed by a moisturizing cream to finish. I'd recommend it more for nighttime use rather than morning. If using in the morning, applying sunscreen afterwards would be a good idea.

As retinol can require an adjustment period when first used, and high-concentration products may cause skin reactions, this product is great for beginners due to its lower retinol content. It suited my skin well without any adverse effects. The texture is appropriately thin and very moisturizing, absorbs quickly without any stickiness, making it a pleasure to use. It's packed with hydration yet light enough for daily use, so I found myself reaching for it often. You can immediately feel the skin-firming effect when applied, and with consistent use, I believe it will have a significant impact on pores.
ConsThe scent is slightly reminiscent of ointment or medicine, which might be polarizing for some. However, it's not strong enough to significantly affect the user experience.
TipGiven that retinol is a potent ingredient that can potentially cause irritation, those with super sensitive skin or retinol beginners should introduce it gradually over a two-week period, using it 2-3 times a week to allow the skin to adapt. Once your skin adjusts, you'll likely see significant improvements in pore reduction and skin elasticity.
