ConsThey initially said to apply it every other day, but maybe because I have thin skin, it caused irritation and my under-eye area became unbearably itchy. After suffering for a few days, it finally calmed down. So now I'm avoiding my face and only applying it to my neck and elbows. However, I haven't noticed any significant differences in terms of brightening or wrinkle reduction in this short period of use.
TipIt's not so much a pro tip, but I think those with sensitive skin might be better off not using this product at all.

It absorbs well too. Since it's my first time using it, I'm applying it every other day, just a little bit on my smile lines and between my eyebrows. I think it'll take at least two weeks to get used to it.
ConsWhen you first apply it to your face, it feels like it's spreading in yellow patches, but it absorbs quickly. However, I think it needs an adjustment period. It's a bit itchy.
TipAfter thoroughly applying and letting your skincare absorb, just dab on a tiny amount. Use it every other day. It seems like it'll take about two weeks to adjust!

It's like winter-dry / summer-combination dehydrated skin, you know? Scent: At first, it has this peculiar, artificial scent, but as it absorbs, it transforms into a subtle, slightly fresh fragrance. Texture: It has a vibrant yellow appearance, like paint! It absorbs quickly when applied, leaving a soft, matte finish. However, it seems to give my skin a slightly yellow tint. Effectiveness: I think it's working! After my face calmed down, I noticed my nasolabial folds appeared slightly less pronounced. It's as if the creases were filled in a bit. At first, I thought it might be puffing up my face to smooth out wrinkles! While I can feel it working, I'm hesitant to use it regularly because I'm worried about potential after-effects. The day after I first used it, my entire face became red and swollen, so I couldn't use it properly. I thought I had applied only a small amount as per the instructions, but I guess I used more than I should have. It seems like it spread all over my face as I applied my skincare routine - toner, retinal serum, and emulsion. After my skin calmed down, I tried again 5 days later. This time, I applied my usual routine - toner, pore ampoule, emulsion, and cream. Then, as a final step, I squeezed out a pea-sized amount, spread it on the back of my hand, and then gently patted only a tiny bit on my forehead and nasolabial folds. But the next day, just those areas were red and swollen again! I'll attach a photo for reference.
ConsRetinal side effects?!? A few hours after applying it on the first day, the area under my chin suddenly started itching. Then I gradually felt heat on my cheeks, my eyes became puffy, and the itchy part of my neck swelled up. When I was about to go to bed, I quickly searched online and found the symptoms were similar to retinol side effects. I washed around my eyes and neck with water, which helped the itching a little. The next morning, I woke up with my face red, swollen, and hot. This is the first time I've experienced such side effects. If you must use it, apply an extremely small amount. And make sure to follow up with a very hydrating product. The areas on my cheeks that felt hot became extremely dry. So I woke up in the middle of the night and slathered on a thick layer of moisturizer. After things calmed down, I tried again 5 days later, using a tiny amount on specific areas. But the next day, I felt the same symptoms, so this time I applied a lot of soothing ampoule. Even so, I still felt some itching and extreme dryness. I've never been picky about skincare products, but this is the first time I've had such a reaction. I guess my skin is more sensitive to retinal than I thought. ***I absolutely do not recommend this product for those with super sensitive skin. If you're curious, please test it on your arm or another area first!

The serum's design is so beautifully simple. I could tell they put a lot of thought into every detail, right down to the seal on the bottle!
ConsUnfortunately, it didn't agree with my sensitive skin. After using it, I developed some blemishes and had an allergic reaction that made my skin turn red. It was itchy too... This was my first time experiencing something like this, so I was quite shocked. I had to get treatment from a dermatologist, which thankfully helped calm things down.
TipSince you only need to use it in the evening, the yellow color isn't an issue at all! While it didn't work for me personally, I think those who typically respond well to retinal could really enjoy using this product.

I wanted to try something with a higher concentration, and that's when I came across this product! The packaging is great for controlling the amount, which is important since you only need to use a tiny bit. The formula is quite thin, so it spreads easily and absorbs well into the skin. It feels light and fresh, without any greasy residue. The scent is subtle and slightly tangy, not overpowering at all. While I haven't been using it long enough to see improvements in wrinkles, I've noticed that the areas where I apply it feel smoother to the touch the next morning!
ConsAt first, I followed the instructions and used it in this order: toner, this product, then moisturizer. But as you can see in the photo, my face turned red and became very itchy. There was even some slight swelling... I didn't even use that much, but it seems it was too strong for my skin. After stopping use for a few days, I tried again with a different routine: toner, moisturizer, then this product. This worked much better for me. If you have super sensitive skin, you might want to try applying an emulsion or cream before using this product.

It's perfect for taking on trips. The scent is tangy, but not artificially so - probably because it's vegan. It's not overpowering at all! You only need a pea-sized amount, so this quantity should last quite a while. It has great absorption - super fast, and even those with oily skin won't feel any residue. It just sinks right in! ------Additional review after visiting the dermatologist----- Wow, everyone! While my skin had some issues, the laugh lines on my left cheek are barely visible now. The effectiveness is undeniable. I'm gathering the courage to try it again!
ConsThe biggest disappointment is that while the product quality seems really good, retinal or bakuchiol just doesn't agree with my skin. Or maybe the concentration is too high for me. I got excited and applied it directly to my face before patch testing (using even less than I tested on my arm, just on my left cheek). After 1-2 hours, it suddenly became itchy, swollen, and hot. I immediately washed it off and applied my usual serum, but it still didn't calm down. I considered trying it on my neck, but when I checked my arm the next day, blemishes had appeared. I've been too scared to use it since then. This is only the second time I've had such an immediate reaction - the last time was with a shampoo that didn't agree with me, and I struggled quite a bit. Currently, my boyfriend is using it and says it works well for him!

I love that it's a pump dispenser rather than a squeeze tube.
ConsI applied just a tiny amount as instructed, but it seems even that was too much. For a few days, the areas where I applied it turned red and seemed to break out. My neck became completely red, irritated, and itchy - I suffered for weeks because of it.
TipIf you have super sensitive skin, start with an extremely small amount - so little you might wonder if it's enough. Test it on your wrist first, then gradually increase the amount. Unfortunately, different areas of my skin turned red and itchy, so I don't think I can continue using this product.
