Pros
A must-have product that makes your skin look great the next day. It gives you the appearance of having had a honey-like sleep. Can't live without it.
Cons
It may be a tube-type or have retinol properties, as it starts leaking as soon as you open the cap, similar to Fucidin. However, it has great value with honey ingredients, so I'm definitely going to buy it.
Tip
You can also use it together with other COSRX RX line products.

Pros
After using it for more than ten days, what I particularly liked was that the texture was smooth, without the thick and difficult-to-spread nature typical of retinol. The application was also good, and I was especially pleased that there was no settling into the neck lines that I had been concerned about as I aged. The scent was neutral and unobtrusive, which was comfortable for someone like me who is sensitive to fragrances.
Cons
For the first 2-3 days, there was a stinging sensation, but that can happen if the skin is dry. After a few days of adjustment, the application became comfortable and the stinging went away. With retinol, it's best to start with a small amount and monitor your skin's reaction first.

Pros
It was great that it was moisturizing when applied, yet not sticky or heavy, and felt refreshing! I was worried the retinol ingredient might be too strong and irritating, so I only applied it to my neck at first. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but my neck seems to have brightened and the wrinkles have faded a bit. I'd like to try applying it to my face as well, but I'm still hesitant. It's a shame. I think this product would be good for those who don't have sensitive skin.
Cons
After first applying it, I noticed the next morning that a part of my neck had broken out in hives-like bumps. It seems the ingredients are not that gentle. But when I tried it again 3 days later, it was fine. And the packaging... once opened, the product keeps oozing out about 3 times more than I need. It doesn't seem very hygienic. I wish the packaging was a bit bigger instead.

Pros
These days, I've noticed wrinkles forming on my forehead, and when I look in the mirror, it looks like I'm frowning. I was using the Innisfree retinol ampoule before, but I saw this cream on the Hwahae Trial Reviewer and wanted to try a product with a higher concentration. I'm glad I got selected! I didn't need an adjustment period since I was already using a retinol product, so I tried it every other day. The texture is a bit thick, so the application isn't as smooth, but I didn't experience any irritation. I was worried about the pore-clogging ingredients, but I didn't break out. It's been a short time, so I haven't seen dramatic results yet, but the wrinkles do seem a bit lighter. I think with continued use, the effects will be more noticeable.
Cons
As mentioned in the product description, you need to pierce the tip of the cap to open it, but you have to be careful not to push too hard, or the contents will spill out.
Tip
Apply a thin layer to areas with wrinkles, such as the forehead or neck, as well as the nose and cheek areas with enlarged pores.

Pros
You can use it in the ampoule step, and since I haven't used it for long, I'm not sure about the effects yet. When I wake up in the morning, I feel like my skin texture has improved.
Cons
The price is a bit disappointing compared to the amount. And it's in an ointment form, so when you first open it, a lot of it spills out. Since it's a high-concentration product, it can be a bit irritating on the skin.
