ConsThe retinol content seems a bit low. If they doubled it, it could be amazing!
TipThis review compares the product's retinol concentration to the reviewer's expectations, suggesting that a higher concentration might be more effective.

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.

The serum has a thin, runny texture that absorbs well. I love that it doesn't pill when layering other products on top. Since it's not a high concentration of retinol, I could use it comfortably without irritation. The day after using it, I noticed a difference in my pores and skin glow, so I've been using it consistently. I bought it for just $5 at Daiso!
ConsThe scent has that typical heavy retinol product smell. It's not too bothersome, but if you usually prefer products with fragrances, you might find it a bit off-putting. The clear cap is close to the dispenser, so it inevitably gets product on it during use... You'd have to wipe it clean after each use to keep it tidy. I'm slightly concerned about the PEG in the ingredients list.

It absorbs well without any irritating scent.
ConsI can't really tell the difference yet. I'm just diligently applying it! Satisfied with the value for money.

You can spread it easily without any pilling, even if you're not being particularly careful. •Great value The price-to-quality ratio is fantastic. A genuine retinol serum for just $5? That's revolutionary! •Gentle on skin I experienced no irritation at all. Perhaps because it contains only a minimal amount of retinol, I didn't feel any significant sensitivity despite it being a retinol product.
Cons•Rich After use, my skin felt overly oily. Even though I had cleansed my face, it still looked shiny. •Pore-tightening? I didn't notice much effect in this area. Maybe because it only contains a minimal amount of retinol, I'm not sure if it really does anything for pores.

It contains retinol, but it's incredibly gentle. I've been using it for nearly two weeks without any irritation.
ConsI really couldn't find any downsides, except for the presence of PEG in the ingredients list. That's a bit disappointing.
TipIf you apply it generously, you can skip your cream or emulsion. It's that hydrating on its own.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst off, it's incredibly lightweight, so it absorbs well. 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.
