Since I've used high-concentration retinol creams before, I didn't experience any irritation at all. It's best to use the retinol serum first, followed by the cream. The cream has a refreshing feel, not a heavy, sticky one.
ConsThe smell is rather artificial, like a strong cosmetic fragrance. It's likely to be polarizing. While continued use may be necessary, it doesn't seem to have a significant effect on pore tightness and elasticity. However, it could be a decent value-for-money product to use.

It's 5,000 won. The fragrance is also substantial and nice. After applying, it feels somewhat moisturizing. The retinol content is low, so there is no irritation.
ConsIt's true that the concept is to have less retinol, but it seems like this is an introductory product. Normally, 0.075~0.1 is considered an introductory level for retinol, but this product has only 0.05. Of course, you can't expect much for 5,000 won, but the concentration seems too low, so I probably won't repurchase this.

Since the retinol content is low, I didn't experience any irritation while using it. It has a moderate amount of oil, so I used it as the final step.
ConsThere's hardly any noticeable effect. I don't feel like repurchasing it next time. The scent is really like an old-fashioned men's cologne..

Little irritation even for sensitive skin.. Seems like the low concentration didn't require much adjustment? 3. Not overly heavy in application Similar viscosity to a moisturizer and a hydrating cream Spreads very smoothly. 4. As someone with oily skin, there was a slightly greasy feel Might feel a bit slippery when applied before makeup
ConsThe scent is really, quite unpleasant...... Not a typical cosmetic smell, but more of a medicinal one? Being somewhat sensitive to scents, this was not ideal for me. There was a slightly oily feel, so I'd recommend using a lighter base product in the previous steps. Applying too heavily can lead to poor absorption and a floating, unabsorbed sensation on the skin.
Tip1. I applied it in multiple thin layers, around 3 times. 2. Since this product contains retinol, I'm a bit worried about compatibility if used with other products. But retinol is generally known to pair well with hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients! e.g. peptides, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, panthenol, etc.

The texture is dense and slightly oily! I'm not sure about the retinol effects yet I think I need to use it consistently to see the results.
ConsThe scent..ㅋ It's like an old man's skin toner? That strong smell is really there ㅠㅠ The fragrance doesn't go away ㅠㅠ It's very intense..
