A pharmacist told me it's incredibly cheap for its concentration, so I bought it. For a 5000 won product, it's got a lot in it, but probably not enough to see significant effects. Still, it's generally usable.
ConsIt's mostly fine to use, but the fragrance is overwhelmingly strong. At first, I felt like I might throw up after applying it. I can't help but wonder why they added so much fragrance.

That's incredible value! As someone who's used high-concentration retinol creams before, I didn't experience any irritation at all. I recommend using it after toner, followed by retinol serum, then this cream. It's not a thick, sticky cream, but rather has a fresh, lightweight feel.
Cons✓ Unpleasant scent ✓ Limited effect on pores The scent is quite artificial and cosmetic-like... it might be polarizing for some users. While I'll need to use it consistently to see long-term results, it doesn't seem to have a significant impact on pore elasticity. However, it's still a decent, affordable option for everyday use.

And it absorbs so smoothly on the skin!
ConsThe scent is quite strong, and I'm really not sensitive at all, but this gave me blemishes after using it.

No significant irritation even for sensitive skin... Maybe it's due to the low concentration that some say requires an adjustment period? 3. Not overly heavy texture Consistency feels like a middle ground between a hydrating and moisturizing cream Spreads incredibly well 4. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I felt a slight oiliness Might pill if applied before makeup
ConsThe scent is really... unpleasant... It's more of a medicinal smell rather than a cosmetic fragrance. Being sensitive to smells, I found this quite off-putting. It feels somewhat greasy, so I recommend using lighter products in your earlier skincare steps. If applied too heavily, it doesn't absorb well and seems to just sit on top of the skin.
Tip1. Apply in thin layers, building up gradually. I usually apply about 3 layers. 2. Since this is a retinol product, I'm a bit concerned about potential conflicts with other ingredients. Retinol is known to work well with ingredients famous for hydration and barrier support! e.g. peptides, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, panthenol, etc.

The hydration is good too. I need to use it more to be sure, but there's a big downside...
ConsThe scent is overwhelmingly masculine, which makes me hesitant to use it. Surprisingly, fragrance isn't even listed on the box.
TipDespite its moisturizing properties, the strong scent might be a deal-breaker for those sensitive to fragrances.
