I originally used IOPE 0.1 without noticeable improvements, but I was planning to steadily increase to 0.3. Then I discovered this product! After just one day of use, I can definitely feel my pores tightening. I'm not going to rush it, but follow the instructions for an adaptation period before increasing. I wish the 0.5 version came in a cream form instead of oil! I'm switching retinol brands and will definitely repurchase this!
ConsIt would be nice if they could improve the refrigeration storage and packaging... I wonder if that would affect the cost? It's a bit inconvenient.

I appreciate that COSRX products tend to have fewer side effects. I'm using it regularly as part of my skincare routine. It's really effective for improving skin texture.
ConsIt's not particularly moisturizing. Unless you catch it on sale, it doesn't seem that affordable.

ConsI didn't feel anything with the 0.1%, but the 0.3% definitely caused some irritation, so it's best to use it cautiously

I've been using it bit by bit, and surprisingly, it lasts quite a while.
ConsBe careful with the amount you apply. If you use even slightly too much, your skin might peel off the next day. Use it cautiously.

When I first used the 0.1%, my dead skin cells were really noticeable, which was challenging. But once my skin adapted, I saw improvements in both texture and pores. After adjusting to 0.1%, I moved on to 0.3%, which I'm finding gentle and effective.
ConsThere's nothing I'm disappointed with! I'm extremely satisfied and continue to use this product.

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.ProsApplication: Contrary to expectations of being thick, it applies very smoothly and moisturizes well! While it's not completely transfer-proof, that's actually better since too much friction can irritate the skin (especially in the beginning when it's quite sensitive). I didn't have any issues since I avoid touching or rubbing my face anyway. Effectiveness: My skin feels more refined, and I can definitely see improvement in texture and pores. I didn't have a lot of blemishes to begin with (if you currently have many blemishes, you might want to hold off for the sake of your skin), but I've noticed significantly fewer breakouts while using this. Value for money: This is arguably the product's strongest point! It offers powerful retinol at an affordable price. Compared to other brands I've tried, the effects are more potent, and the ingredients are well-formulated to complement retinol's properties. It's truly an excellent value.
ConsDepending on your skin type, you might find it a bit rich. Especially for combination dehydrated skin, if you don't have a solid base routine, you might experience both deep dryness and excess oil. Super sensitive skin types should think carefully before purchasing. Due to retinol's nature, it can feel quite intense at times. Even though my skin barrier isn't particularly weak, I felt like it was compromised (admittedly, this was partly due to not following the usage instructions properly). Packaging: While I understand the design considers retinol's properties, the aluminum tube tends to crinkle, causing the paint to flake off. I often end up with bits of paint on my face while applying the cream.
TipIt goes without saying, but please read the instructions carefully and follow them strictly! In the beginning, when I was frustrated with excessive dead skin cells, I used an exfoliating gel. The very next day, my skin became inflamed, with red patches appearing on the more delicate areas. I experienced a burning sensation and stinging when cleansing or applying skincare, and even more dead skin cells appeared. The amount you use is also crucial. In the beginning, you might think it's not working and be tempted to apply more, but this can lead to the side effects mentioned above. Start with small amounts and gradually increase, allowing your skin time to adapt.

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 effects are definitely noticeable. I was worried it might be irritating due to its high concentration, but it was fine and didn't cause any breakouts. My complexion has brightened, and my skin texture seems to have improved as well. What I liked most was that my skin wasn't oily when I woke up. There was a notice that the high concentration might cause a distinct smell, but it wasn't bothersome even to my sensitive nose. Having used retinal from another brand before, I immediately applied a small amount all over my face. It absorbs really well. I use this product every other day. I apply it after toner, essence, and ampoule. Layering a moisturizer on top keeps my skin hydrated and feels great. I've decided to keep using it consistently.
ConsThere's a slightly odd smell, but it's not bothersome at all. Refrigerated storage is a bit inconvenient. Since it's a high-concentration retinol, it would be really helpful if they provided information on ingredients to avoid combining it with, or ingredients that work well with it.
TipAfter applying essence and ampoule, I used this product and then layered on moisturizer or sleeping pack, which kept my skin hydrated. I'm careful not to overuse it and spread a small amount widely. It seems good to alternate days between this product and other functional skincare. Be cautious when using this after beauty devices (like air shot) as it caused a slight tingling sensation.

Skin texture: Using a small amount before bed makes my skin look smooth and healthy the next day. Fragrance: I liked that it's almost fragrance-free. Wrinkle improvement: My mom thinks it's effective, but I can't say for sure after just 1-2 weeks of use. I'll leave another review after using it for a longer period!
ConsIrritation: When I got greedy and used a bit too much (about the size of a bean), I developed some red spots that weren't quite blemishes or acne. It also stings a lot, especially when applying sunscreen the next day. Blemishes: I got a few pimples. However, I'm not sure if it's due to this product or because I've been drinking a lot recently, so I'll need to use it more to be certain. Dryness: I don't usually feel dryness easily, but with this, the area around my mouth gets extremely dry and more irritated. Though I've heard retinol can cause dryness naturally.
TipAlways apply sunscreen. Don't get greedy with the amount from the start.

Satisfaction: I definitely felt an improvement and saw guaranteed results! I'm the type who sees great effects from retinol and cica creams. The improvements were in: • Skin texture • Wrinkles • Elasticity In my early 20s, I thought retinol wasn't relevant to me, but now in my late 20s, I'm drawn to keywords like hydration and elasticity. This product seems great for those just starting out, allowing you to gradually increase the concentration while using small amounts. Texture: It's similar to Avène cream! As someone with oily skin, it felt a bit heavy and like it was sitting on top of my skin, but it didn't cause pilling with the next product, so I can overlook this due to its effectiveness.
ConsBecause I have oily skin, I felt it sitting slightly on top of my skin, but it didn't cause pilling with the next step! You'll need to follow up with a serum or moisturizer to add more hydration!
TipWith retinol, it's important to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase it, rather than jumping straight to a high concentration!
