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.

ConsI only use a tiny amount, but even 0.3 seems too strong for me. It causes dead skin cells to flake off for about 3-4 days

It feels like my skin is getting more intensive care now.
ConsPerhaps due to its potency, I'm noticing some dead skin cells surfacing that I hadn't seen before.

I'll use you forever! I switched from just using niacinamide, and it's truly amazing. The ultimate skin texture management. The next day, it's like my skin was wrapped in plastic - all unevenness disappeared, and my skin felt so taut, I was shocked!
ConsIf you use more than a pea-sized amount, dead skin cells flake off like scales. Ugh, it's gross. This is my fault, but I'm mentioning it since I need to point out a drawback...

With its high retinol content and good value for money, this could be a great product if used correctly following the instructions!
ConsPossibly due to the high retinol concentration, I experienced significant dead skin cells shedding the day after use, but only in the areas where I applied it. It seems crucial to follow the recommended amount and allow for an adequate adjustment period when using this product.
Tip- Store in the refrigerator after opening (3-10°C) - Use the product at night and always apply sunscreen during the day - Allow for a skin adaptation period when first using: : Use every 2-3 days for 2 weeks, then every other day after 3 weeks

You can think of it as having a regular cream consistency.
ConsWhen I researched retinol, there was a lot of advice about having an adjustment period and using it every other week. So I planned to apply it bi-weekly and used a small amount on my wrinkle-prone areas. However, the areas where I applied it kept developing dead skin cells and blemishes, so I stopped after just one use.

Among the creams I've tried, I'd say it's similar to Dr. J*rt's ceramide cream line. The scent is nearly fragrance-free. Moisturization: For my dry skin, it felt like the perfect balance of oil and moisture. It wasn't heavy or sticky, just pleasantly hydrating. While it didn't keep me moisturized until morning, it provided just the right amount of hydration to make makeup application smooth. Effects: When I apply it at night and wake up in the morning, my skin looks incredibly smooth and glowing! For real! I definitely felt like I could see immediate results, probably due to the retinol content. The instructions recommend refrigeration after opening, so I kept it in the fridge. Applying it cool was great for calming my skin and reducing heat.
ConsGiven the high retinol content, using it together with a retinol ampoule seems to double the irritation. I was curious if it would be okay to use them together, so I tried it... but my skin became flaky and sensitive, leading to a compromised skin barrier.
TipI used this alongside my existing Pri*era Organience toner and emulsion set, and I think they work well together. I'd recommend pairing it with skincare basics that support skin barrier care.

I've been using this product every other day, and lately, due to the cold weather, I've just been keeping it outside instead of in the fridge. Previously, I had only tried Innisfree's retinol ampoule, which didn't really give me that 'retinol effect' feeling. But with this one, I could feel the results in just one day. My skin texture, which was always rough, now feels as smooth as rice cakes wrapped in plastic - it's amazing! The first day I used it, the next morning my skin looked like I'd just come out of a sauna - it was as smooth as a peeled egg. My pores also seemed to have shrunk as my skin's elasticity improved. When I use this, my skin texture becomes incredibly smooth, and my pores appear reduced. I think it's because my skin's regeneration cycle has sped up dramatically.
ConsTo be honest, the irritation while applying is barely noticeable compared to Retinal Shot. The problem starts after that. From the second use onwards, my skin had a dead skin cells party. There was an extreme amount of skin flaking in the areas where I applied it. When I tried to remove all the flaking skin to apply makeup, my skin became incredibly sensitive and painful.
Tip1. While using retinol, absolutely avoid any other exfoliation (including skincare products with exfoliating ingredients) - it can break down your skin's minimal protective barrier. 2. Make sure to use a moisturizing cream. (It's great to pair it with a pharmacy cream containing dexpanthenol!) 3. When first using, start with a very small amount and gradually increase. Even if you don't feel irritation when applying, don't slather it on recklessly - you might end up with sensitivity and skin flaking like I did, so be careful!
