Skin Regeneration: It promotes exfoliation and skin regeneration, leaving your skin smooth and healthy. Minimal Irritation: Compared to other retinol products, it is less irritating, allowing even sensitive skin types to use it. Texture and Absorption: The cream-type formula applies smoothly and is quickly absorbed into the skin.
ConsIn the initial stages of use, there may be some dryness or mild peeling, and the daily need to apply sunscreen can be a burden.
TipWhen first using it, you should start by applying a small amount 2-3 times a week and observe your skin's reaction.

ConsEven though I use only a small amount, 0.3 seems too strong for me. My skin starts peeling after about 3-4 days.

I'll be with you forever😭 I used to use only niacinamide, but this is really good. The ultimate skin texture manager.... The next day, the bumps disappeared like my skin was wrapped in plastic, and it felt so taut that I was amazed.
ConsIf you use it more than the size of pea grains, the dead skin peels off like scales. Ugh, it's gross. This is my fault, but I have to fill in the disappointing parts, so I use it....

Although I haven't noticed any visible effects yet since I've only been using it for a few days, my skin feels slightly tightened the next day, which seems to be helping with wrinkle improvement. The retinol content is high, and the price is reasonable considering the volume, so it seems like a good product if you use it properly.
ConsPerhaps due to the high retinol content, my skin peeled off excessively on the areas where I applied the product the next day. It seems like you need to be careful about the amount used and allow enough time for skin adaptation.
Tip- Store in the refrigerator after opening (3~10°C) - Use the product at night and be sure to use sunscreen during the day - Allow for a skin adaptation period when first using the product: : Use 2-3 days per week for the first 2 weeks, then use every other day after 3 weeks

It's similar to a regular cream texture.
ConsWhen I searched for retinol, there were a lot of recommendations like 'go through an adjustment period' and 'use it every other week', so I planned to use it every other week and applied a small amount to areas with a lot of wrinkles. Flaky skin and pimples kept appearing on the areas I applied it, so I only used it once and then stopped using it afterwards.

I felt the texture was similar to Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream among the creams I've used. The scent is close to unscented. 🤍 Hydration For my dry skin, it felt just right in terms of oil-water balance. It wasn't heavy or sticky, but moisturizing, though the moisturized feeling didn't last until morning. Instead, it provided an adequate level of hydration that made my skin look healthy when I applied makeup in the morning! 🤍 Effects When I apply it in the evening and wake up in the morning, my skin looks so smooth and glowy! The retinol content seems to be effective, as I could see the results right away. The instructions say to store it in the refrigerator after opening, and using the cool cream felt soothing and helped calm my skin temperature.
ConsWith the high retinol content, when used together with a retinol ampoule, the irritation seems to double. I tried using them together, but my skin started peeling and became sensitive, compromising my skin barrier.
TipI used it together with the Prieul Organience toner and lotion set I was using before, and the synergy seems good. I recommend using it with a basic skincare routine that helps strengthen the skin barrier.

I've been using this product every other day, and lately I've been keeping it outside the refrigerator since the weather has been cold. I've only used the Innisfree retinol ampoule before, and I didn't really feel the retinol effects, but with this product, I can feel the effects in just one day. My skin texture, which was always rough and dull, has become so smooth, like steamed rice cakes. On the first day I used it, the next morning after going to the sauna, my skin looked so healthy and glowy, like a fried egg. My pores also seemed to have shrunk, and my skin elasticity improved. Whenever I use this, my skin texture becomes so much better. My pores also seem to be reducing. I think it's because my skin's regeneration cycle has sped up significantly.
ConsTo be honest, the irritation during application is not even a fraction of the Retinol Shot. The problem is what happens after that - from the second use, a peeling party started on my skin. There was a lot of flaky skin peeling off the areas I applied it. After trying to remove all that flaky skin to apply makeup, my skin became extremely stinging and painful.
Tip1. Absolutely do not do any other exfoliation while using retinol! (Including exfoliating skincare products) -> Your skin barrier will be severely compromised. 2. Make sure to use a moisturizing cream. (Using a cream with panthenol from the pharmacy can be helpful!) 3. ⭐️ Start with a very small amount when first using, and gradually increase the amount. If there is any irritation during application, don't just slather it on, as you may end up with stinging and peeling like I did, so be careful!
