  Pros

  - Appearance: It's pretty - Seems to be a functional product - Texture: Ointment-like - Application: Spreads like an ointment I had never used retinol before, so I expected an emulsion texture. However, it turned out to be an ointment-like consistency, which I'm not particularly fond of. This seems to be characteristic of retinol products, so it's not really a downside, just not my personal preference.

  Cons

  - Personally, I really dislike the scent. It smells like kimchi containers. However, my sister says it smells like a typical cream, so if you're not sensitive to smells, it might be fine for you.

  Tip

  Use it at night. While it doesn't have a sticky consistency, the ointment-like texture makes it feel rich on the skin.

  Pros

  I expected a thick cream texture, but it was surprisingly soft and spreadable like a hydrating moisturizer. It absorbed quickly without feeling sticky, making it comfortable to use. As this was my first retinol product, I should have read the instructions more carefully - I missed the part about refrigerating it. I've been applying it every 2-3 days, about 3 times so far, and I've noticed my dead skin cells seem to be disappearing. Despite using what felt like a generous amount, I didn't experience any burning sensation. It's too early to see effects on my pores, as that's realistically challenging to manage. Overall, I think this product could be a great introduction for those new to retinol.

  Cons

  There's an unpleasant, medicinal odor that I found quite off-putting. If you're sensitive to scents, you might want to avoid this product. That's why I deducted one star from my rating.
