Pros
Retinol at this price! Originally, there was no noticeable improvement with Iope 0.1, but I was planning to gradually increase it to 0.3. Now I've found this product! After just one day of use, I can definitely feel that my pores are more refined. I won't be greedy and will go through the adaptation period as instructed. I hope 0.5 comes out in a cream formula, not just an oil! I'm switching retinol brands and will definitely repurchase this.
Cons
It would be great if the refrigeration storage and packaging could be improved... I wonder if the cost would change as well? A slight inconvenience.

Pros
The cream type is easier to apply than oil, and the COSRX products have fewer side effects, so I like them. I apply them according to the schedule. They are effective for skin texture.
Cons
It's not very wide. If you can't get a sale, it seems a bit expensive.

Pros
After using it for about 2 weeks, my skin texture seems to have improved and my fine lines have reduced.
Cons
I couldn't feel any irritation when using 0.1%, but 0.3% definitely caused some irritation, so it's best to use it cautiously.

Pros
This product seems to be really helpful for my skin texture. I've been using it gradually, and it lasts quite a long time.
Cons
If you don't control the amount properly, using just a little bit more can make your skin peel off the next day. Be careful when using it.

Pros
I first used it and was satisfied, so I tried to move up a step~ In the beginning, when I used it, my pores were too emphasized and it was difficult, but after getting used to it, my skin texture improved and my pores also improved a lot~ After getting used to it, using 0.3 has no irritation and it's great~~
Cons
There are no disappointments~ I'm so, so satisfied and using it!!

Pros
✨️Usage: Contrary to the expectation of being thick, it applies very smoothly and moisturizes well!! It's not completely transfer-free, but since it's not good for the skin to have too much irritation (especially in the beginning, it's very painful and you can't even touch it 😢), I didn't have any issues with touching or rubbing it on other areas! ✨️Effectiveness I can feel that my skin is more refined and the texture and pores have definitely improved. Even though I didn't have a lot of acne to begin with (if you have a skin type with a lot of acne, it might be better to avoid using this), I feel like I'm getting fewer breakouts while using this product. ✨️Cost-effectiveness I think I can talk about the cost-effectiveness first among the many advantages of this product!! It uses retinol at an affordable price, but the effect is stronger than the retinol products I used before, and the ingredients are well-formulated to suit the characteristics of retinol, so I think it's a very cost-effective product!
Cons
I think that depending on your skin type, you may feel a slight oiliness when using the product. Especially for those with combination skin, if you don't establish a solid skincare routine, you may experience excessive dryness and oiliness. And for those with sensitive skin, I would recommend carefully considering and purchasing the product. Due to the nature of retinol, it can sometimes feel a bit irritating, and even though my skin barrier is not particularly problematic, I still felt like my skin barrier was being compromised (of course, this was exacerbated by me not following the precautions and using it on my own accord, which increased the irritation). As for the packaging, while I understand that the material and design of the container are intended to consider the characteristics of retinol, I've continuously experienced the issue of the aluminum getting crumpled, causing the paint on the container to peel off. So when applying the cream, I've found paint residue on my face before.
Tip
It is a given, but please be sure to read the precautions carefully!!! And please be sure to follow those precautions. In the early stages of using retinol, I was frustrated by the excessive peeling, so I used a peeling gel, and the very next day my skin became blotchy, and the delicate parts of my skin developed red spots. When cleansing or doing skincare, I felt a burning and stinging sensation, and excessive peeling also occurred. The amount used is also very important. If you use too much retinol in the beginning, thinking it's not working, you may experience the above side effects. In the beginning, adjust the amount little by little and help your skin adapt.

Pros
The effects are definitely noticeable I was worried it might be too harsh since it's a high-concentration product, but it was fine and didn't cause any irritation My skin tone looks brighter My skin texture also seems to be improving The best part is that my skin doesn't look oily when I wake up in the morning The instructions mentioned that the high concentration could cause a distinct scent, but it wasn't bothersome to me, even though I have a sensitive nose Since I had tried a different retinol product before, I applied a small amount all over my face The texture is very smooth and easy to apply I use this product every other day I apply it after my toner, essence, and ampoule Layering it with a moisturizer made my skin feel hydrated and great I've decided to use this product consistently
Cons
There's a slightly unusual scent, but it's not at all irritating Refrigerating it is a bit of a hassle Since this is a high-concentration retinol product, it would be great if the instructions could provide information on ingredients or combinations to avoid using with it
Tip
After applying the essence and ampoule, using this product and then layering on a moisturizer or sleeping pack made my skin feel very hydrated I applied a small amount and spread it evenly over my face I think it's best to use this product one day and then use another functional skincare product the next day When using a beauty device like an air shot, I noticed this product stung a bit, so it's important to be careful

Pros
I used it about twice, with a 3-day interval, and then every other day after that. ✔️Skin Texture When I use a small amount and go to sleep, my skin looks smooth and healthy the next day. ✔️Fragrance The fragrance was almost odorless, which I liked. ✔️Wrinkle Improvement My mom said it seems to be effective, but I can't say for sure after 1-2 weeks of use, so I'll leave a review after using it a little longer!
Cons
✔️Irritation I used a little too much (about the size of a bean) and got some red spots that were neither pimples nor acne. It was very stinging. It was especially stinging when I applied sunscreen the next day. ✔️Breakouts I got a few pimples. But I'm not sure if it's because of this product or because I've been drinking a lot of alcohol recently, so I'll have to use it a little more to find out. ✔️Dryness I don't usually feel dryness, but when I used this, the area around my mouth became very dry and stinging. ->But I've heard that retinol can cause dryness.
Tip
Be sure to apply sunscreen Don't be too eager from the start

Pros
As a sensitive skin user, I will write this review! Satisfaction: I definitely felt the effects being improved! I am a case where I see a lot of effects from retinol, cica creams, and the like! •Skin texture improvement •Wrinkles •Elasticity These areas! In my early 20s, I thought retinol had nothing to do with me, but in my late 20s, keywords like moisture and elasticity caught my eye, and for those who are just starting out, it seems like a good product to use by gradually increasing the concentration in small amounts! Texture: It was similar to the Avène cream! As a sensitive skin user, it felt a bit heavy and slippery, but it wasn't to the point where the next product was difficult to apply, so I could overlook it for the effects.
Cons
As a sensitive skin user, I did feel a slightly slippery sensation, but it wasn't to the point where the next step was difficult to apply! You'll need to supplement the moisture with a serum or moisturizer afterwards!
Tip
With retinol, you should gradually increase the concentration instead of starting with a very high amount right away!
