My skin condition: U zone dry, T zone normal ~ oily I tend to prefer ampoules that seem to fill in moisture and surface dryness (I'll use the Wellauge one forever...) For functional products, I only use them 1-2 times a week when my skin barrier has recovered. When my barrier is compromised (like when I use sunscreen daily and cleanse intensively), if I don't properly rebuild my basic skincare, I get this awful feeling of dryness and tightness, like my skin is about to tear. I've been carrying around a mist a lot. I don't have major breakouts, but food & hormones sometimes cause flare-ups. The ampoules that claim to shrink pores have a sticky texture. If I use those daily, I sometimes feel like my pores get clogged, with bumps and whiteheads popping up. So if I buy something like that, I only use it 1-2 times a week. I'll try not to buy those anymore. I just need ampoules that are either hydrating or functional, and I rely on creams for moisturizing. I'm interested in addressing enlarged pores and uneven texture. I'm also interested in brightening and fading dark spots. Morning and night, I do a 3-step routine: mist/toner - ampoule - hydrating/moisturizing cream. ❤️ A yellow, runny ampoule that you pump out to use ❤️ Is it functional?: It's a retinol-containing cult favorite. It may sting a bit at first, but the irritation goes away with continued use. I only use it 1-2 times a week in the evenings (retinol is not sun-friendly). The next day, my skin feels plumped up. That's probably why it's Innisfree's best-selling product. ❤️ Does it solve surface dryness?: Yes, even without the Wellauge, my last cream layer keeps my skin comfortable until morning. It spreads nicely without an overly rich, oily feel, and my skin is left smooth and bouncy when I wake up. It's a yellow, dewy, supple, and bouncy texture. 🧑⚖️🧑⚖️🧑⚖️ I'll occasionally repurchase this.
Cons
At first it may sting a bit, but with continued use you won't feel any irritation.
Tip
I don't use it every day, but I use it a couple of times a week in the evenings (retinol seems to be sensitive to sunlight). The next day, I feel like my skin is a bit tighter.

The large inflammatory pimples kept coming up after use, so it didn't suit my skin. It was disappointing that the retinol ingredient didn't seem to agree with me. Since I had used the cica ampoule from the same brand well, it felt more regrettable that this product didn't suit my skin. The design was a unique and pretty Steven Harrington limited edition, so it had collectible value.
Cons
If you are new to retinol ingredients or have sensitive skin, I recommend starting with a small amount and testing it first.
Tip
If the Innisfree Cica Ampoule worked well for you, consistently using the Cica line could also be a good alternative to retinol.

My skin has been dramatically transformed in just one week, without the need for dermatological treatments or procedures - just by changing my basic skincare routine. While it hasn't been completely resolved yet, I'll share photos in 2 weeks to show the progress. To provide some context, I had been taking acne medication throughout high school, and by the time I became an adult, my skin barrier was completely damaged. Recently, I also unknowingly applied an excessive amount of retinol, which led to a breakout and further impaired my skin barrier, causing irritation, redness, and a lot of trouble. I considered getting aesthetic treatments at a dermatologist, but decided to first try changing my skincare routine, and if there was no improvement after the seasonal change, I would go to the clinic. In just one week, my skin has improved significantly with this new routine. For my nighttime care, I've been using a toner, followed by a soothing ampoule to address redness, and then a repair cream. After seeing some initial improvement, I've been using just a tiny amount of retinol (about the size of my little fingernail) spread across my entire face. (I used to tolerate retinol well, but the excessive amount caused my skin to go haywire). For my morning routine, I use a toner, a redness-reducing ampoule, and a lightweight, non-clogging moisturizer. I've also been going out without makeup and just wearing a mask, as my skin wasn't looking good with makeup on top of it. Please don't apply retinol in the morning - it's not good to use it with sun exposure. The products I'm using aren't meant to treat active breakouts, but they've been great for reducing the redness left behind after my skin has calmed down. However, be careful not to use too much, as it can lead to a big problem like what happened to me.
Cons
I have no negative feedback. I'm completely satisfied with the products and will likely repurchase once I've used them up.

I apply it every night, and when I wake up in the morning, my skin feels so smooth.
Cons
The disappointing thing is that I bought it for my pore concerns, but I'm not sure if it's really effective for my pores.
Tip
The packaging is so adorable!!

I heard that retinol should only be applied at night because it is sensitive to sunlight, and that the Innisfree ampoule is a good starter retinol product, so I purchased it. After using it consistently, it seems like my pore size has decreased a bit. There was also no irritation or stinging sensation.
Cons
I don't have any particular complaints. I would recommend this to those new to retinol~

The texture is perfect for dry skin. The formula is not oily or sticky, which I really like. It's not drying after application either - it leaves a nice, dewy finish. And the results are quite good too. The dark spots really fade away. I guess that's why it's so expensive..
Cons
The price is a bit steep though ㅠ That's why it's great to catch it on sale!
Tip
Mixing it with a moisturizer and using it as a modeling pack is amazing! It doubles the brightening effect and hydration. 🩷

I purchased this retinol serum because the cute illustration on the outside appealed to me. After cleansing my skin at night and applying it, I feel like my skin is firmer and more supple in the morning, so I'm considering repurchasing it.
Cons
While it seems like the tube is full when you open it, when you press down to squeeze it out, not much product actually comes out. I've had to press down on it several times to get enough product.
Tip
At night, I lightly apply the skin toner first, then gently massage this product around my pores in a circular motion to help it absorb. After that, I don't even need to apply any other creams or products, it works great on its own.

The limited edition retinol cicatrice ampoule package is so cute. ✨✨ By the way, I've been using two bottles of the cicatrice ampoule. 1️⃣ It has a moderate viscosity, yellowish color, and an ambiguous scent. 2️⃣ Since it's a cicatrice product, there are no skin 🥊troubles, 💥stinging, or 🥵redness, so even sensitive skin can be applied without irritation. 3️⃣ I apply one pump each to my forehead and cheeks, and there is no sense of insufficiency, and there is no 🙅dryness over time. 4️⃣ If you apply it when there is scale or sebum on the skin, it may not spread smoothly and feel foreign on the fingers, so it is recommended to remove at least the slightly raised sebum beforehand. 5️⃣ Even as a 40-year-old user, I don't feel dry, so I recommend it as a good retinol starter product. 6️⃣ Innisfree often has sales, so it's reassuring to stock up at 💴reasonable prices.
Cons
1️⃣ Even though my pores are very wide, there is no visible pore reduction even after using two bottles. However, I'm applying it hoping that they won't get any wider. 2️⃣ Other than that, there are no particularly disappointing points, so I've reordered the 50ml size to continue using it.
Tip
- A beauty YouTuber said that retinol is better when used together with the pentanol ingredient, so I'm applying it along with the Biovio Panthenol Cica Blemish Ampoule, but I'm not sure if there are any positive effects, but it's not bad either, so I'm continuing to apply them together.

The design is impeccable! The performance of the Innisfree Retinol Ampoule is beyond words, and the previously bland product design has been beautifully transformed by the Steven Harrington design, making it visually appealing. Even after using it up, the design is worth keeping.
Cons
The only downside is that they should release more collaborative products~Innisfree's Retinol product is number one!!
Tip
If you're going to buy it, you should choose a product with a pretty design, and you won't regret it. ^_^
