No irritation and it made my skin smooth... For retinol to be effective, you need to start with a minimum concentration of 2500IU. A 2500IU concentration is considered the least irritating among effective options. It's affordable and easily accessible at Daiso, which is convenient.
ConsThis isn't really a drawback, but rather proof that the concentration is effective. When I ran out of my regular cream, I used this as a replacement, applying a generous amount like I would with a moisturizer. The next morning, my face was tingling and red. As long as you don't go overboard like I did, it won't cause any irritation at all.
TipApply it as the final step in your skincare routine, like you're sealing everything in.

The ingredients aren't bad, and it absorbs more smoothly than I expected. Even when I applied it generously, I didn't notice any irritation on my skin. While I can't say the effects are dramatically visible, I think it's a great value-for-money choice for those new to retinol products. Unlike the Innisfree one I used before, which stung a bit even with small amounts and sometimes caused small bumps, this one doesn't sting at all and hasn't caused any blemishes.
ConsAs for wrinkle reduction or brightening the complexion, I'll need to use it consistently for longer to see results. There hasn't been any dramatic improvement yet.
TipStill, I'd recommend it as a good starter product for retinol. After I finish this, I'll try another retinol product, but if the results are similar, I'll likely come back to this one.

It's truly amazing. I mixed it with another hydrating cream, and it felt light and pleasant on my skin. There was no irritation, and I love stocking up on this product for regular use.
ConsNone! My skin isn't particularly sensitive, so I didn't experience any irritation.
TipI recommend mixing it with a gentle moisturizer for even better results.

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.ProsI bought this highly recommended product as soon as it was back in stock. 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.

Living as a minimalist focused on just the basics - ampoules, essences, moisturizers, cleansing waters, sun sticks, and sunscreens - I've reached an age where signs of aging are becoming noticeable. I received this as a gift and gave it a try. Effectiveness: 5/5 It contains retinol and is designed for nighttime care. Make sure to use proper sun protection daily. It's not particularly irritating. The small tube opening makes it easy to control the amount used. The volume is just right, making it suitable for regular use.
ConsThe scent might not be to everyone's liking. Don't expect immediate results. With consistent home care, you'll see improvements over time.

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.Pros- The fortune of being able to buy retinol cheaply at Daiso - The texture is slightly thick but applies smoothly - As someone who's used 1% retinol, I experienced no irritation even when applying generously - My skin seems to have become a bit softer - I recommend this product if you've tried the famous retinol serum from INSFREE and thought it wasn't effective, as this has a higher concentration but doesn't cause irritation
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 texture is similar to a hydrating moisturizer when applied, and the fragrance is also mild. It seems perfect as an eye cream.
ConsThere's not really any downside, except that it absorbs so quickly it seems to evaporate fast.
TipI think gently applying it with your ring finger should work well.

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.Pros- Great as a starter retinol product due to its gentle formula - Applies lightly with a firm texture, leaving skin feeling fresh the next morning - While I'm not sure about its effect on facial pores, it seems to have some impact on neck pores - It's best to expect a cost-effective introduction to retinol rather than dramatic results
ConsGiven the price and concentration, it's understandable but somewhat disappointing that it doesn't have a dramatic effect on pores. I plan to try other retinol products with higher concentrations :)
TipEven though it's gentle, I don't recommend using it alongside products containing spicules like Rix Shot, as it may cause skin irritation.

Cons✗ As a retinol product, an initial skin adaptation period is necessary (may cause dryness or tingling) ✗ Dry skin types need to ensure sufficient hydration - recommended to use with a cream rather than alone ✗ Sunscreen is essential during the day - retinol makes skin sensitive to sunlight, so applying sunscreen is crucial
TipA great product for retinol beginners to use without worry. If wrinkles or skin elasticity are your concerns, consistent use can yield expected results. However, due to retinol's nature, some irritation may occur, so it's important to use it in the evening and ensure ample hydration!
