ConsI couldn't feel any irritation when using 0.1%, but 0.3% definitely caused some irritation, so it's best to use it cautiously.

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....

ConsIf you set it up and close the lid, a little bit of the amount will leak out, so if you just fix that point, it would be good.

It's definitely drying when applying retinol, so you need to slather on plenty of cream! But the next day, the skin condition is noticeably different! Lately, the wrinkles around my eyes and nasolabial folds have been deepening, and this has been a concern, but I'm seeing particularly good effects on fine lines! The inclusion of pentanol and vitamin E components is definitely a plus! Even with 0.3% retinol, there's not much irritation at all! Personally, this is the most satisfying retinol product I've tried!
ConsTo be honest, there's no real downside ㅋㅋㅋ The only thing is that it's often sold out?
TipI apply it thinly all over my face! And I slather on plenty of other creams. That way, there's no dryness or irritation, but you can feel the glow in your skin the next morning!

Cons✔️Irritation I used a little too much (about the size of a bean) and got some red spots that were neither pimples nor acne. It was very stinging. It was especially stinging when I applied sunscreen the next day. ✔️Breakouts I got a few pimples. But I'm not sure if it's because of this product or because I've been drinking a lot of alcohol recently, so I'll have to use it a little more to find out. ✔️Dryness I don't usually feel dryness, but when I used this, the area around my mouth became very dry and stinging. ->But I've heard that retinol can cause dryness.
TipBe sure to apply sunscreen Don't be too eager from the start

For those with sensitive skin trying retinol for the first time, I'd recommend starting with the 0.1% instead of 0.3%. For sensitive skin types who are new to retinol (like me, where even a small amount can cause breakouts), it's best to apply a very thin layer.
Cons- I didn't get any major breakouts, just some small, milia-like blemishes... - It seems like it will need to be used for a longer period to see the full effects.
TipI used it for about 7 days after my first application.

Satisfaction: I definitely felt the effects being improved! I am a case where I see a lot of effects from retinol, cica creams, and the like! •Skin texture improvement •Wrinkles •Elasticity These areas! In my early 20s, I thought retinol had nothing to do with me, but in my late 20s, keywords like moisture and elasticity caught my eye, and for those who are just starting out, it seems like a good product to use by gradually increasing the concentration in small amounts! Texture: It was similar to the Avène cream! As a sensitive skin user, it felt a bit heavy and slippery, but it wasn't to the point where the next product was difficult to apply, so I could overlook it for the effects.
ConsAs a sensitive skin user, I did feel a slightly slippery sensation, but it wasn't to the point where the next step was difficult to apply! You'll need to supplement the moisture with a serum or moisturizer afterwards!
TipWith retinol, you should gradually increase the concentration instead of starting with a very high amount right away!

First and foremost, my skin texture has improved so much, I'm so pleased ㅜㅜ The formula is a slightly rich cream texture, and it's almost fragrance-free, so I used it without any aversion. Photo 1) Skin condition before using the product Photo 2) Skin condition the day after using the product Photo 3) Skin condition the day after using the product for the 3rd time Given the retinol properties, I thought the effects might not be that significant since I don't apply it every day and leave some gaps in between, but the effectiveness versus satisfaction is better than I expected! I'm especially very satisfied with the improvement in my skin texture ㅜㅜ
ConsSince it's a slightly rich cream formula, I needed more product than expected to spread it evenly across my whole cheeks, and I experienced a slight stinging sensation the next day ㅜ It's unavoidable, but this aspect is a bit disappointing.
TipIf you establish a solid skincare routine first before using retinol, you'll likely experience less of the characteristic burning or stinging sensation after applying retinol. And if your skin feels dry after applying retinol, using a panthenol cream on your lips or forehead area instead of a regular moisturizer can help significantly reduce the dryness.

Especially, the visible improvement in vertical pores and elasticity was clear. With the high retinol content, I saw even more results within the relatively short usage period of just one week. I'm considering purchasing this product with 0.1% retinol!
ConsFor sensitive skin, the 0.3% retinol content seems unusable. Even after going through the adaptation period and using it, the area where I applied the cream became itchy and stinging, and it all peeled off 😭 Definitely not recommended for sensitive skin!!
TipWhen using it for the first time, apply just a pea-sized amount and only to targeted areas every other day to build up tolerance. Then, you can start using it on your entire face. Refrigerating the product is a must!

There's no irritation and my skin feels tighter, so I think I'll use it every day.
ConsThere's nothing really. Don't force me to write a review. Other people will only read reviews that are at least 20 characters long.
