Truly, Daiso... It's not pulling out the pillars of the industry, is it? However, from the consumer's point of view, it's a huge welcome. 🥹 The biggest advantage is that you can purchase a retinol serum with 500IU content for only 5,000 won and use it generously. The formula is a white, slightly low-viscosity lotion+ampoule-like texture. The finish is thin and light without any stickiness, so it was easy to apply without any burden. The serum needs to be applied all over the face, and since it's not a high concentration, it was easy to spread it evenly. After using it for a few days, my skin texture became smooth and glowy. 👍🏻 I hope more high-quality retinol products will be released!
ConsThe scent... is too typical of a cosmetic smell 😢 It reminds me of my dad's cologne.... The scent is really not great, so I'll take off one star •••••••😢😢😢😢😢

It's just insane! The morning after I first used it, my skin felt so soft I thought I was imagining things. But I kept using it, and now: My T-zone, which used to show texture and pores, is now smooth as silk. My U-zone, which was dry and flaky, is now as soft as a baby's bottom. I think my blemishes and pigmentation have even faded a bit, but that might be my imagination? Anyway, it's just amazing. I'm so scared it might be discontinued that I've been recommending it to my friends and even my coworkers. Some friends weren't sure, but one coworker loved it so much she bought three bottles right away, just like I did. And the price is incredibly good value - even three bottles are only 15,000 won at Olive Young. Why so cheap?
ConsThe scent... It smells a bit like old-fashioned cosmetics. It's not overpowering, just noticeable on your hands when applying. But once it's on your face, you can't smell it at all.
TipMake sure to apply sunscreen well after using this!

Plus, it gives your face a subtle glow and leaves it feeling hydrated!
ConsI'm not sure about its effectiveness yet. There's a slight scent, but it's not particularly pleasant.

Naturally, this means a lower concentration of ingredients, but if you don't have deep wrinkles, it's a great value-for-money skincare item that I'm very satisfied with. The sunlight precautions are well-explained. Since frequent use might cause irritation, I only apply it occasionally before bed when I notice neck wrinkles becoming more visible. It's incredibly hydrating, and perhaps because it makes my skin so soft, there's an immediate effect of wrinkles appearing less noticeable. I also love how quickly it absorbs!
ConsLooking at the ingredient list, there aren't many fragrances, but it has a rather strong scent like peppered water. If it's the natural scent of the product, that's unavoidable. However, if it's an artificial fragrance created from just one or two fragrance ingredients, it might be better to remove it rather than risk polarizing opinions. Other than that, I'm very satisfied!
TipDue to the lower concentration of ingredients, those with already deep wrinkles might not be satisfied. But that's to be expected at this price point. It's excellent as a preventative measure if you start using it early!

However, since retinol is said to be beneficial, I intended to apply it every other night. Unknowingly, I ended up using it daily, and surprisingly, there's been no irritation or blemishes. That's a plus!
ConsThe scent isn't particularly unpleasant, but it's not great either. It somewhat reminds me of a men's cologne.
TipIt's recommended to apply this product every other day rather than daily for best results.

I was so surprised I had to buy it from Daiso. The biggest advantage is being able to use retinol at this price point.
ConsDue to the low price, you can really feel how incredibly small the retinol content is. The effects are less than half of what you'd get from more expensive skincare with higher concentrations. Personally, I find it pointless. Also, the scent reminds me of old-fashioned cosmetics - it's the worst for me...

While it doesn't completely eliminate skin texture, it seems to have made a noticeable improvement, which I'm really happy about.
ConsThere's an artificial scent, but it's not off-putting. However, I can't help but think it might have been better if they had left out this fragrance altogether.

It's from Daiso, so the price is budget-friendly, but the ingredients are also good. It's hydrating, and since the concentration isn't too high, it's perfect for daily skincare without any burden.
ConsThere's a bit of an artificial scent when applying, which might bother some people. However, considering the price, ingredients, and how well it absorbs, it's understandable.
TipI apply my regular serum, then use this product on alternate days with another brand's 0.1% retinol cream. Using them this way seems to create a great synergy!

It also seems gentler than expected, which is great for absolute beginners like me who can use it without experiencing any blemishes or tingling. The hydration is excellent too - in this approaching summer weather, applying just this ampoule seems sufficient for moisture. I think it's worth trying for complete skincare novices.
ConsThe scent is a bit like oil, which is a downside. As this Daiso product is my first experience with retinol, I can't tell if this smell is typical of retinol or specific to this product, which is somewhat disappointing. As a retinol beginner, I find it both an advantage and a drawback that the concentration might be too low - honestly, I'm not sure if I can see any effects.
TipSince it doesn't seem to have much of an effect, I feel like if I apply it generously and follow up with a modeling mask, it gives me the psychological satisfaction that the retinol is being fully absorbed.
