Although I've only used it a couple of times and need to use it more to be sure, it seems effective, so I immediately bought another one. Actually, I had a slight retinol burn on both cheeks and was in recovery, but as the dead skin cells started to peel off, my skin seemed to become smoother. After fully recovering with proper hydration, I plan to try again while carefully monitoring the amount I use. It seems like an effective product as it appears to trigger intense skin recovery rather than causing blemishes.
ConsIt's crucial to start with less than the recommended amount on the instructions, use it every few days, and then gradually increase the quantity! Of course, only use it at night! In the morning, it's essential to cleanse with a gentle foam cleanser. If you only wash with water, the effects can linger into the daytime, leading to increased sun sensitivity.
TipYou absolutely must pay attention to the amount you use! Even though I have combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes and have never had a severe reaction to skincare products, I applied it generously for several days without checking the instructions and got a retinol burn on my cheeks. I let my guard down because I had no issues when using plenty of the Daiso retinol. While recovering, my skin feels incredibly smooth. In the beginning, be sure to use it only once every 2-3 days and mind the quantity! For those with super sensitive skin, I recommend starting with an even lower concentration.

It makes my skin feel smooth and refined.
ConsThe scent isn't quite to my liking. It has a slightly pungent odor that I'm not fond of.

I mixed a tiny amount of retinol with PDR cream and oil, applied it for two consecutive nights, and my skin feels incredibly smooth and soft. For days now, I've been enjoying my cleansing routine so much!
ConsI'm satisfied that my skin has adapted successfully without peeling or tingling. When I used the 0.1%, I gradually increased the amount, but with this one, I see results even with the tiniest application, so I have no regrets.
TipI'd recommend trying 0.3% if you've used 0.1% without issues. I'm also consistently applying ceramide products and panthenol cream as part of my routine. Since it's winter, I'm generously layering on oils too.

Scent: There's no particular smell to note. 2. Sensitivity: Given that retinol can be slightly irritating, you might experience a bit of redness and mild tingling when applied. However, it's not so intense that it becomes unbearable. 3. I usually apply it in the evening, and by the next morning, I can definitely feel that my skin has become smoother and softer.
Cons1. Caution regarding irritation! Since the 0.3% product is likely to be more irritating than the 0.1%, it's advisable to start with a 0.1% retinol product if you're new to retinol!

Skin regeneration: It promotes dead skin cell removal and skin renewal, nurturing smooth and healthy skin. Gentle on skin: Compared to other retinol products, it's less irritating, making it suitable even for super sensitive skin. Texture and absorption: The cream type applies smoothly and absorbs well into the skin.
ConsInitially, you might experience some dryness or slight flaking, and there's the added responsibility of applying sunscreen daily.
TipWhen first using, start by applying a small amount just 2-3 times a week and observe how your skin reacts.

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.ProsI've been using the 0.1% retinol cream and now the 0.3%, and I haven't experienced any irritation at all. I've seen real results with my pores. They used to be visibly large, but after applying for a few days, I noticed they've slightly shrunk. When I apply it to areas with uneven texture, it makes my skin incredibly smooth. If I apply it before bed, I wake up feeling my skin is super silky smooth.
ConsIt's quite rich, so when I apply it before bed and wake up in the morning, there's a lot of oil on my face. I have to cleanse with a mild acidic cleansing foam.

It didn't irritate my skin as much as I expected, and I could definitely feel my skin becoming smoother!
ConsThere's nothing I particularly disliked about this product. When used together with a peptide serum, it feels like the effects are doubled!

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.ProsI used it twice with a 3-day interval, then switched to every other day. 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.

Effectiveness Retinol has many benefits, but the most noticeable immediate effect seems to be on pores. After applying it at night and washing my face in the morning, I find my skin's texture significantly smoother with reduced unevenness. 2. Packaging The tube-type container, similar to ointment packaging, ensures hygienic use. While it might be tricky to control the amount dispensed since you can't put it back in, this actually makes it more sanitary. 3. Storage I was surprised to learn it needs refrigeration. I knew retinol was a sensitive ingredient, but requiring cold storage like food made me wonder if it's because it's free from preservatives? Anyway, I found it interesting.
ConsI've previously used retinol products from Dr****. I tried their strongest red one and the mint one for acne-prone skin. Oddly, the red one caused small bumps, so I switched to the mint one with less oil content. However, it turned out to be extremely irritating. The COSRX retinol seems less harsh in comparison. I tend to develop dermatitis if I use irritating products for too long. I tried to minimize irritation as much as possible with this one! Compared to previous products, it does seem less irritating. But remember, retinol is still an active ingredient that can cause irritation!
Tip1. Apply only a tiny amount. 2. Use every other day or every other week. 3. Apply at night and wash off thoroughly in the morning. (Exposure to sunlight while wearing it can cause dark spots.) 4. Always use sunscreen during the period of use. 5. Store in the refrigerator. 6. Avoid sensitive areas of your face. (Apply it to specific spots like you would with Made@sol, not all over.)
