I've only used retinol in ampoule form before, so this is my first experience with a cream version. I was worried it might be irritating, but there's absolutely no irritation at all! It's such a great cream, packed with benefits! I don't apply it all over my face, just under my eyes, on smile lines, and areas with large pores. There's no stinging around the eyes either. The texture is about 30% rich, so it's good even for oily skin types. It can be applied lightly and smoothly. My smile lines definitely have less makeup settling into them, though I haven't seen major effects under my eyes yet. My pores were enlarged from squeezing pimples, so I've been focusing on those areas. If my pores initially felt about 80% deep, after using this cream they feel only about 35% as deep!
ConsAs I continue using it, the effects seem to come and go. Still, I keep using it because when I don't, my pores seem more noticeable when I apply makeup.

Texture The texture is neither heavy nor light, striking a nice balance. As we approach the new season, those with oily skin or who dislike rich products might find it a bit much. However, I found the richness typical of eye creams to be just right! 2. Application Being a somewhat rich cream, it has a slight oily feel, which allows it to glide on smoothly when applied. 3. Anti-wrinkle effects To be honest, I couldn't use it consistently enough to see significant results. However, the morning after using it, I did notice a slight reduction in the appearance of fine lines.
Cons1. Fragrance Like other famous eye creams from competing brands, the scent seems to be an unavoidable aspect. While I personally enjoy the fragrance, it's quite strong for a skincare product. I think it would have been just as good unscented! 2. Packaging The flat top of the container allows it to stand upright, which is a plus. However, after the first use, there seems to be an air pocket that forms, requiring you to squeeze the tube a bit to get the product out each time. I think it would have been better if the packaging was more precisely fitted to the product volume.
TipI don't have many pro tips to share, but for those of you who are as lazy as I am, here's what I do: Instead of applying face cream and eye cream separately as the last step of your skincare routine, I sometimes mix a bit of eye cream into my face cream and apply them together!

(Product provided as part of The Hwahae Testers) Product Info: Retin-A Anti-Wrinkle 3D Cream Texture: It absorbs well and has a slightly thick consistency similar to an eye cream. The nozzle is designed for convenient application to specific areas, so you won't end up dispensing more than needed! User Experience After using the product: I was concerned about enlarged pores in the butterfly zone (especially on the cheeks), but true to retinol's benefits, I felt like the stretched pores were being filled in. The visible effectiveness is really satisfying! Skin Type: Combination dehydrated skin - when lacking moisture, my skin goes into oil production overdrive! Especially oily in the summer. Application Method: Since daily retinol use is too intense for me, I use it every 3 days in the evening after cleansing. My routine goes: toner > 'Retin-A Anti-Wrinkle 3D Cream' > serum > soothing cream > moisturizer Overall Assessment: While retinol can be pricey, it seems effective in filling in enlarged pores! Once I finish this cream, I plan to continue using products with retinol. If you're interested in pore management or scar treatment, I think this product is worth trying!
ConsIt seems to be a product that stays true to its retinol function. If there's a downside, it might be that the price is a bit high for the amount you get..?
TipPrecautions for Retinol Creams 1. Skin Irritation: Retinol is a potent ingredient that may cause skin irritation. It's best to start with a low concentration product and gradually increase the strength while monitoring your skin's reaction. 2. Sun Sensitivity: Retinol becomes unstable when exposed to sunlight, so it's crucial to apply sunscreen diligently after using retinol products. 3. Usage Timing: Retinol is typically used at night and should be washed off thoroughly in the morning. Leaving retinol on your skin during the day can lead to irritation from sun exposure. 4. Pregnancy Caution: Retinol may affect fetal development, so it's advisable to avoid use during pregnancy. 5. Gradual Increase: Since retinol can be harsh on the skin, start by using it 1-2 times a week and gradually increase frequency. 6. Hydration is Key: Retinol can dry out the skin, so proper moisturizing is essential. Various Benefits of Retinol - Improves skin regeneration and cell turnover - Reduces pigmentation and brightens skin - Helps with acne - Enhances skin elasticity and hydration As you can see, retinol is a highly beneficial ingredient that can address various skin aging concerns. Here's to beautiful skin for everyone!

Feels like a soothing cream, easy to apply lightly. The tube packaging makes it convenient to control the amount.
ConsDisappointing that the volume is so small. Need to use it longer to see wrinkle improvement results.
TipSince it contains retinol, it's important to check product compatibility before use.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is rich and applies with a slightly thick consistency. It's like a perfectly softened cream cheese. Using it two to three times a week after your essence provides such excellent hydration that you won't need to apply any additional products. I was amazed when I first tried it. Following the product instructions, I generously applied about 1.5 times the recommended amount (which they likened to a pea-size) before bed. The next morning, my skin texture had improved dramatically! I'm writing this review on the last day of use, having used it for as long as possible, and I can confidently say it's had a significant effect on improving my skin texture. The fragrance is pleasantly subtle. Given that the thick consistency means the product stays on your face for a while, it's fortunate that the scent is mild and agreeable. I think anyone could use this comfortably without being bothered by an overpowering smell.
ConsPerhaps due to the short usage period of just over two weeks, or because I'm not at an age where I have many wrinkles yet, I didn't see any improvement in the few wrinkles I do have. The product is quite rich and thick, which makes me think it might be challenging to use during the summer months.
TipFrequent use may actually cause irritation. I recommend using it only two to three times a week!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is definitely rich and moisturizing enough to immediately feel the wrinkle improvement and deep hydration. It's not overly oily, and I didn't notice much stickiness. What I loved most was the narrow tube opening, making it easy to control the amount, and the luxurious scent that made me feel like I was getting a professional spa treatment! Even after just 2-3 days of use, I noticed visible improvement in fine lines and skin texture. It's said to address deep dryness and even improve pores. While the pore-refining effect seemed subtle, I think more consistent use might show better results. Overall, I'm satisfied and would consider repurchasing when I run out.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing, but if I had to pick something, maybe the packaging color? Haha, I wondered if it might have been better if it were a bit brighter.
TipI saw results using this as the final step in my skincare routine, focusing on areas with severe dryness, eye wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and between the brows. I also tried using a small amount on my nose pores. It definitely improved areas prone to dryness and wrinkles.

It's rich but smooth and not sticky at all. I was struggling with skin issues due to the changing seasons, but as soon as I used this, I could feel my skin texture becoming more refined! I love how it makes my skin feel firm :) They say you should start anti-aging care from your 20s, so I'll keep using this and if the effects are good, I'll definitely repurchase!
ConsI was worried after reading reviews about eye irritation, and unfortunately, I experienced some stinging too. The good news is that it's fine if you apply it a bit away from your eyes! The main drawback is the price... it's quite expensive, which is a burden for a student in their early 20s like me.
TipI recommend applying it away from the eye area!

So, the quantity seems reasonable for its usage. 2) Texture: It's a rich, thick cream, but that doesn't mean it's hard to apply. It spreads smoothly without any stickiness, which I really liked. 3) Effectiveness: As a product primarily focused on pore improvement and wrinkle reduction, effectiveness is key! The thick texture adheres well to skin pores, which is great. While I couldn't observe significant skin changes in just a week, I noticed that my makeup seems to apply more smoothly and doesn't separate as much as before. 4) Scent: There's a subtle fragrance that might be floral... or maybe not. I'm not particularly sensitive to scents, but this one is so delicate that even those with sensitivities should be able to use it without issues.
Cons1) Rich texture: Due to its thick consistency, it might feel a bit heavy for those with oily skin. However, since you're only using a small amount on problem areas, it wasn't too bothersome.
Tip* Even those with oily skin can use this without it feeling heavy if they apply just a tiny amount to problem areas and spread it thinly for absorption. - Because of its texture, I recommend this for oily skin types during the winter months.

When I heard about this gentle formula, I was curious to try it, and luckily I got the chance! The product comes in a tube with a small opening, which made it easy to control the amount. It has a subtle, herbal scent. The consistency is similar to a typical cream, making it easy to apply, and it didn't feel sticky after application. Despite being advertised as a gentle retinol, I was still a bit worried. However, the irritation was much less than expected! My skin turned slightly red upon application, but it didn't last long, and I didn't experience any blemishes. It's too early to tell about pore reduction and wrinkle improvement after just a few uses - I'll need to use it more consistently to see those effects. However, I could definitely feel that my skin texture became noticeably smoother after use.
ConsEven though it's gentle, there's still a slight redness when applied. The subtle scent might be bothersome for those sensitive to fragrances, like myself. The price... it's quite steep for regular use. I'll have to see if it really improves my wrinkles and pores before deciding to purchase it.
TipRemember, retinol should only be used at night!

I didn't experience any peeling or adverse reactions. The texture is slightly rich, making it perfect for use in spring, fall, and winter! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it ideal for evening use during those seasons. The scent was also pleasantly neutral.
ConsThe application feel was good, and I didn't experience any blemishes. However, if you have very oily skin, you might need to adjust the amount you use. It's better suited for spring, fall, and winter rather than summer!
