I've been using it for about a month now. The biggest advantage is being able to try a high-concentration retinol product at an affordable price. It's an excellent starter product to see if retinol suits my skin before trying other options. The ingredients are gentle and good quality. As I have sensitive skin, I was worried retinol might be too irritating, so I apply it generously only to my smile lines as the very last step in my skincare routine. Perhaps because I use it after my other skincare products, I haven't experienced much dryness. While the effects aren't dramatic, I've noticed subtle improvements with consistent use - my lines seem slightly less noticeable. I'm continuing to use it daily on my smile lines, hoping for further improvements with long-term use.
ConsLike the Bonscep retinol serum, this product has a distinct scent that's quite strong, which I'm not a fan of.
TipMake sure to only apply this at night and always follow up with sunscreen in the morning on the areas where you applied retinol. If you skip this step, it can actually worsen dark spots.

Cons- The scent is really unpleasant. It smells like old-fashioned cosmetics and might make you feel nauseous if you smell it in a car - Being retinol, it can be quite oily on combination dehydrated skin, and as time passes, it can run down to your lips, making you taste the product when you lick your lips

The difference between using it and not using it is quite noticeable. After using a nose strip and finishing with this, then sleeping, the effects are remarkable - you can visibly see the pores shrink. If you have particularly large pores, the results can be truly dramatic.
ConsInitially, the applied areas became slightly red. The scent is absolutely awful... Some say it smells like men's skincare, but I can't accept that such a strong smell comes from just a small amount. I nearly got sick when I applied it and wore a mask. Those sensitive to smells should be cautious. Even though it works well, I can't use it often because of this scent. Unfortunately, I won't repurchase due to the smell, despite its other good qualities.
