Scent: I couldn't really detect any fragrance while using it. Texperience: When first applied, it gives a warming sensation and feels like it's tightening the skin. I started using this product as I've been concerned about neck and eye wrinkles. Since this was my first time using a high-concentration retinol product, I applied it every other day. To cut to the chase, my deep eye and neck wrinkles seem to have become more refined. I only used a rice grain-sized amount when pumping and applying, but the effects seem quite good. They say nothing beats retinol for wrinkle care, so I plan to keep using it consistently. Right after application, the treated area turns yellowish, but as time passes and it's absorbed, the yellow tinge disappears. I used it with satisfaction and without any particular blemishes.
ConsWhen pumping, if you don't control the pressure well, a lot can come out, so controlling the pressure is essential!
TipMake sure to pump and apply only a rice grain-sized amount, and test if there's any skin irritation. Since it shouldn't be exposed to sunlight, apply it at night, and if you use it during the day, be sure to apply sunscreen!

The cream's deep yellow color makes you look a bit like a creature when applied, but I liked that it made it easy to see where I was applying it. - Results: My main concern was pores, so I was hoping for improvements in that area. Looking at the photos, I can see improvements in elasticity and fine lines! I didn't expect much in terms of hydration, but despite having combination dehydrated skin, I didn't feel any dryness.
ConsUsing it only every other evening means that two weeks might be a bit short to fully judge its effectiveness.

I was initially worried about skin irritation, which is common with retinol, but this product is genuinely gentle - no skin flare-ups at all! It's crucial to apply it in the evening. After two weeks of use, I've noticed some improvement in skin texture, but what really impressed me was how much firmer my skin felt the next day! I think it's because I've been diligent with moisturizing alongside the retinol. There's a slight yellow tint upon application, but it disappears as the product absorbs. I appreciated the nearly fragrance-free formula, and overall, this seems like an excellent retinol product for beginners due to its gentleness.
ConsAfter two weeks of use, I haven't seen immediate effects on pore size reduction or blemish improvement. It seems like it might take more consistent use to see those results.
TipWhen using retinol, it's recommended to start with a pea-sized amount and apply it every other day. I noticed some irritation when I got too eager with the application. Also, it's crucial to follow up with a good moisturizer after applying retinol to prevent any dryness!

The texture is neither too thin nor too heavy, just right. It absorbs well with only a slight rich feeling. The definite changes I saw in a week were in my pores and firmness!!!! I can't say for certain about the complexion since I took photos in natural light, but both in pictures and in reality, the improvement in firmness was noticeable. As the skin became firmer, it also had the effect of tightening pores.
ConsWhile it works wonders for firmness, it doesn't do much for blemishes. Retinol is known to be primarily effective for firmness, so I manage blemishes with vitamin products.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAmong products containing retinal for lifting effects, this one was the most satisfying! I was surprised by its intensely yellow formula, but once I applied and absorbed it, the color wasn't noticeable. While the wrinkle improvement isn't dramatically visible, I feel that consistent use will likely yield significant results. It gives that 'just had a dermatology treatment' feeling! After application, my skin feels tighter and more refined. I highly recommend this for your nighttime skincare routine.
ConsThis product might be a bit strong for those with sensitive skin or those who don't respond well to retinal. My skin is on the sensitive side, so I experienced slight redness. The key is controlling the amount used - if you can manage that, it should be suitable for most people. Be careful when pumping the product, as it can be tricky to control the amount.
TipFor maximum effectiveness, make sure to thoroughly apply and absorb your basic skincare products after cleansing before using this product!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin type: Dry, sensitive skin As I've been getting older, I've noticed my skin losing elasticity and my pores becoming more visible. Even my nasolabial folds seem more pronounced. This made me realize I needed to pay more attention to skin firmness! I used to be so focused on preventing blemishes that I completely neglected elasticity. Recently, I've been trying collagen masks, but haven't seen significant changes. So I started looking for products with retinol. I tried another product first, but it felt a bit harsh, so I stopped using it. That's when I got the chance to try the VDL Retinal Bakuchiol Serum as part of The Hwahae Testers program. I had heard retinol might not be good for sensitive skin, so I was considering products with just bakuchiol. But this one has both ingredients, which I liked! After using it, I'm very satisfied! Despite my super sensitive skin, I didn't feel any irritation at all. Other retinol serums would cause my skin to react badly the next day, but with this one, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked for me! Since retinol is a strong ingredient, they recommend applying it every other day, using just a rice grain-sized amount, and gradually increasing the area. I started with the pores around my nose, applying it every 2-3 days as part of my evening skincare routine. After about two weeks, I noticed my pores weren't expanding as much as before. It seemed to be working as a preventive measure! I highly recommend this for those with sensitive and dry skin like mine. It's rare to find a retinol product this gentle. It's perfect for beginners!!!! When I wake up, my skin feels soft and firm. My face doesn't usually swell, but the next morning, my skin looks so beautiful. The serum absorbs well and doesn't leave a sticky finish!! It's exactly the texture I like. I'm extremely satisfied.
ConsThe bright yellow color was a bit off-putting at first. I thought, 'Is this right...?' But it doesn't turn your skin yellow. Other than that, it seems fine! I took several photos but lost them, so I can't upload them. But trust me, it's really yellow. As you apply it, you get the feeling it might be more effective because of that?
TipFor those with sensitive or dry skin, when you first start using it, if your problem area is your cheeks, apply a rice grain-sized amount there. Then, if it feels dry, layer on a hyaluronic acid serum followed by a moisturizing cream to finish! This way, you won't experience irritation or dryness, and you can address your problem areas while maintaining hydration!! You can gradually increase the application area over time.

I've always been interested in wrinkle improvement and reducing dark spots, so I was really curious about this product and applied to review it. At first, the bright yellow liquid surprised me, but as I continued using it, I felt my smile lines improving and my skin becoming more elastic. Day by day, I noticed my complexion brightening, which left me feeling very satisfied with the product. I often experience inflammatory blemishes when using cosmetics, so I pay close attention to ingredients. While individual results may vary, this product didn't cause any blemishes for me, which really boosted my trust in it. I definitely plan to keep using it in the future!
ConsI wish the trial period had been longer so I could have reported more specific changes! Also, I noticed my skin felt a bit dry after use, so make sure to follow up with plenty of hydration. And one more thing - my skin definitely seemed more sensitive to sunlight, so don't forget to apply sunscreen religiously!
TipMake sure to finish with a hydration-packed moisturizer! And remember to slather on plenty of sunscreen during the day, it's absolutely essential!

Brightening, anti-aging, and pore reduction were my biggest skin concerns lately, and among these three, the effect I immediately noticed was pore reduction! Despite using only a small amount of serum, I felt my pores became more elastic and reduced by the next day! While I didn't feel an immediate surge of hydration upon application, it seemed to provide moisture throughout the night, leaving my skin with a glow and a soft, supple texture.
ConsThere weren't any particular aspects I found disappointing while using this product.
TipSince it's recommended to use this product every other day, I think consistent use will likely yield even better results.

I used it every 2-3 days for two weeks, concentrating on the T-zone and nose area for pore improvement. After two weeks, while there wasn't a dramatic change in pore size, I noticed my skin texture improved and it seemed more firm. After applying makeup, my pores were noticeably less visible and there was significantly less product settling into them. I'm extremely satisfied! Texture ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Despite claiming to have a gentle formula, I was pleasantly surprised that it was safe to use even on my sensitive skin. It feels like a product I could use year-round. Hydration ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's highly moisturizing, so when I apply it as part of my night routine, my skin stays hydrated until morning. Worried about potential irritation, I applied a generous amount of moisturizer and was amazed to find the intense hydration still present in the morning. Just be careful not to stain white pillowcases! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I'm thrilled that the added moisture seems to have reduced my sebum production. Application ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I only used it at night. After evening my skin tone with a toner pack, I applied a pea-sized amount to problem areas. Then I layered on moisturizer and went to bed. In the morning, there's a slight slippery feeling left on the skin when I wash my face.
ConsThose who use white bedding should be cautious. Shift workers, don't absent-mindedly apply this and go to sleep after a day shift.

When applied before bed, your face looks smoother the next morning. It definitely seems to even out skin texture effectively. I use retinal products primarily for skin texture, so this was the most satisfying aspect for me. It's marketed as an anti-wrinkle product, and it certainly gives a firming effect to the skin. 2. Despite containing retinal, it's not irritating. It doesn't cause any blemishes either. 3. It absorbs incredibly well. When applied, it doesn't feel sticky and leaves a soft, matte finish. You'll definitely feel that it's absorbed well without sitting on top of the skin. 4. It comes with friendly usage instructions. Usually, when you first receive a product, it's hard to know how to use it properly. Thanks to their helpful guidance, I've been able to use it without any side effects.
Cons1. The high price After trying it as part of The Hwahae Testers program and liking it, I wanted to buy it, but the price is quite steep, so I'll have to think about it a bit more. 2. I've only used it for about a week, so I'm not sure about its brightening effects yet. I think I'll know more about this aspect with consistent use.
