mi*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJun 18, 2025It absorbs beautifully and seems perfect for those just starting with retinol. The price is absolutely unbeatable! I can't really think of any downsides. However, if you're looking for a high concentration of retinol, this might not be the right fit. This product works hard for beginners in the retinol world, offering a gentle introduction at a fantastic price point. Its smooth application makes it a joy to use. While it may not satisfy those seeking a more potent retinol formula, it's an excellent choice for those easing into retinol skincare. - in****Dry SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsWrinkles/ElasticityRecommendedJun 17, 2025
I'm really impressed with the value for money of this product. The hydration lasts for a long time too. As for skin improvement effects, it's hard to tell yet since it's a retinol product. My husband, who has sensitive skin, did experience some redness when using it. I'm not particularly sensitive, so I'm satisfied, but keep that in mind! There's nothing to complain about. It's a great value product! However, those with super sensitive skin might want to avoid it. This review highlights the product's affordability and long-lasting hydration. The reviewer mentions that while they can't yet comment on skin improvement effects, they note that retinol products often take time to show results. They caution that those with sensitive skin, like their husband, may experience redness. The reviewer, who doesn't have sensitive skin, is satisfied with the product but advises others to consider their skin type before purchasing. Overall, they emphasize the good value but suggest that those with very sensitive skin may want to look for alternatives. 
ki*********Dry SkinSensitive SkinAtopic SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessRecommendedJun 10, 2025I bought this as a gift for my dad, and I'm writing this review about a month later when the tube is almost empty. Dad says he loves it! I got it for him because he was concerned about age spots and blemishes. Looking at his face now, I can definitely see that his dark spots and imperfections have become noticeably less visible. While they haven't completely disappeared, the improvement is clear and impressive. Dad's thrilled that his skin feels more hydrated and firm. I've tried it a couple of times myself and I'm quite satisfied with how well it absorbs and how smoothly it applies. Since I prefer fragrance-free cosmetics, I'm a bit disappointed that this has added fragrance. It smells exactly like that Q-cure or red ampoule, just more subtle. Personally, I don't find the scent particularly pleasant, but my dad doesn't mind it. It's recommended to start with the 250 Vitamin Retinol Cream before moving on to the 500 version (to help your skin adapt). - ka*******Combination SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedJun 5, 2025
I was a bit worried since it's a Daiso product, but It applies with a nice moisturizing feel and has a slightly powdery finish, which I like While it has a somewhat powdery texture, it feels a bit rich, which is slightly disappointing - hu********Normal SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedMay 30, 2025
After about a month of use, my acne and small bumps disappeared, and my skin became firm and bouncy. It absorbs quickly, isn't sticky, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. I'm using this product with complete satisfaction, shouting "I'm happy!" without a single drawback. - cr********Dry SkinSensitive SkinInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedMay 26, 2025
The way it absorbs and its absorption rate are average, and it doesn't seem to irritate my skin. I'm a bit disappointed with how it applies and absorbs. After applying, it doesn't sink in right away and feels like it's just sitting on top of my skin. 
li********Dry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedMay 25, 2025I picked this up at Daiso on a whim, thinking I'd mix it with something I already had at home due to its low price. The product case claims it improves elasticity and lifting after just one use, but I'm a bit skeptical about that. It seems to absorb well, so I've been applying a thin layer and using it only in the evenings for now. My skin feels soft when I cleanse in the morning, but I'm not sure if it's because of this cream or not. For me, the biggest drawback is definitely the scent. The fragrance is certainly polarizing - I personally wasn't a fan. If you have a cream you're already using, I think it works well to mix them in a 1:1 ratio. 
ab****Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinAtopic SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessDead Skin CellsRecommendedMay 19, 2025My skin has been getting increasingly dry lately, so I tried using a retinol cream. It has a slightly heavy and typical cream-like feel. It's not as lightweight as a moisturizing cream, but it applies smoothly, doesn't feel greasy, and absorbs well. Even though I have oily skin, I've been able to use it without any issues and have almost finished the entire jar. However, I did develop a few small pimples along my hairline. The product's efficacy is quite satisfactory, but the fragrance may be divisive. It has a distinct cosmetic-like scent. - hh********Oily SkinSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedMay 15, 2025
Absorption was quick and there was no irritation. Retinol is great for beginners to use as an introductory product. I recommend that oily skin types try and use the Hwahae Testers. 
mi******Combination SkinSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedMay 9, 2025It's amazing that you can try retinol at this price point! It spreads well even with a small amount, offering great value for money. Since I started using it, I feel like the rough texture of my skin has improved a bit. The low irritation makes it relatively easy for retinol beginners to use. The retinol concentration might be low, so it's hard to notice dramatic effects. It may not be sufficient for those expecting significant improvements in acne scars or wrinkles.
