As I've gotten older, I've tried this and that, but along with moisturizing, using retinol also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. While it can't completely eliminate wrinkles, it definitely slows down their formation.
ConsIt is essential to read the instructions carefully and follow them. If there is no cosmetic refrigerator, it may be a bit inconvenient. However, I will continue to use it consistently!
TipBefore seeing the sun the next day, wash your face and apply sufficient moisturizer, and sun protection is essential!

ConsThe product is effective even with a small amount, but it seems a bit difficult to control the quantity.

It is particularly recommended for those concerned about skin aging. The 0.3% retinol content is quite high, so consistent use can provide visible improvements in skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction. The product has a smooth texture and absorbs well into the skin, providing a refreshing finish without stickiness after use. It also helps skin regeneration, brightening the skin tone and smoothing overall skin texture. The Retinol 0.3: Due to the highly concentrated retinol, there is a high possibility of skin irritation. If the skin is dry or sensitive, temporary dryness, redness, and peeling may occur during initial use, so the frequency and amount of use need to be adjusted. The Retinol 0.1: Relatively less irritating to the skin, and can be used relatively safely even for those just starting to adapt to retinol. The initial irritation is milder, and the frequency of use can be gradually increased to allow adaptation. Recommendations: The Retinol 0.3: Recommended for those familiar with using retinol, and those who want faster and more powerful skin improvement effects from a higher concentration of retinol. The Retinol 0.1: Recommended for those new to using retinol or those with sensitive skin, and those who want to gradually adapt their skin by starting with a milder concentration rather than a powerful one from the beginning. Overall: The Retinol 0.3 provides powerful effects, but the initial irritation may be strong, so it is suitable for those with retinol experience. The Retinol 0.1 is ideal for retinol beginners and those who want to gently improve their skin. Both products require consistent use, and appropriate moisturizing and sun protection management before and after use are necessary.
ConsSince this is a highly concentrated retinol product, there is a possibility of skin irritation for first-time users. Particularly if the skin is dry or sensitive, the skin may become dry or reddened in the initial stages of use, so it is important to adjust the frequency of use to 1-2 times per week at first. Additionally, when using retinol, sunscreen must be used, and daytime use should be avoided.
TipThe Retinol 0.3 is most effective when used as the final step in your evening skincare routine. If using it for the first time, it is recommended to apply only a small amount and observe your skin's condition before adjusting the amount. To minimize skin irritation, it is helpful to use a moisturizing cream or a product that can provide additional hydration, as the skin needs time to adapt to retinol. It is best to avoid using exfoliating products or serums with strong ingredients together with retinol. The Retinol 0.1 and The Retinol 0.3 can increase skin's sensitivity to UV rays, so it is crucial to use a sunscreen whenever using these retinol products, and it is advisable to avoid daytime application. Additionally, it is recommended not to use these retinol products together with exfoliating products or skincare items with potent ingredients.

ConsI couldn't feel any irritation when using 0.1%, but 0.3% definitely caused some irritation, so it's best to use it cautiously.

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.ProsMy personal skin type is combination - dry on the cheeks and chin, but oily on the forehead, nose, and around the eyes. My skin is thin, so I often experience redness and breakouts. I'm quite sensitive - even a small lapse in care can lead to eye irritation and small pimples. My main skin concern is enlarged pores. My skin tone is between 23 and 24. This product is effective for wrinkle care and brightening. It has a rich texture but applies smoothly. Even when I moved up from 0.1% to 0.3%, I didn't experience any breakouts. A small amount is sufficient to use. The fragrance is very mild, almost unscented. After using it in the evening, my skin feels soft and supple, and my complexion looks radiant the next day.
ConsI couldn't find any downsides. I'm still using it happily after repurchasing.
TipFor beginners, I'd recommend starting with the 0.1% and then moving up to 0.3%.

I bought it at a discounted price, which was 1/10 the cost of the product I was using before. So I was worried that the product might not be effective, but it has been effective on my wrinkles. I used to use retinol, and when I stopped, my forehead wrinkles would deepen, but the improved state has been maintained. It does have some irritation at 0.3%, though. I applied a bit too much and experienced some peeling. It seems like I should only use it on targeted areas.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that the case doesn't protect the retinol from oxygen exposure, as I've heard that retinol loses its potency when in contact with air.
TipI'm also using it along with niacinamide and peptide products.
