I prefer creams that are almost oil-free, absorb refreshingly and moisturize well. 💙Fragrance The scent is most aptly described as a dad's skin smell... It's a kind of masculine perfume scent that feels familiar, like a medicinal smell. It's quite strong, so sensitive people may find it overpowering. But I'm not very sensitive to scents, so it was just okay for me. 💙Texture & Usage It's a rich, creamy texture that feels nourishing. It spreads smoothly, moisturizes well, but is slightly oily. Since I have oily skin, I don't prefer products that leave an oily feeling after application. So this wasn't ideal for me. When my skin is in poorer condition, I sometimes get excess oil and a few small blemishes after using it. And when I apply it before makeup, it can cause my base to slip. 💙Effects & Irritation I bought this because I heard retinol helps with pores, but I'm not sure about the effects. Since the retinol concentration is low, there was no irritation, but also no noticeable results. I've just been using up the remaining product on my neck. The retinol seems to be okay for my neck area, and it provides good hydration there.
ConsThe formula seemed to lack efficacy, with a slightly oily residue and a strong fragrance, which was disappointing.
TipEven though the retinol content is low, when used together with Retinoshot, it definitely caused irritation! Please do not use it together with Retinoshot ㅠㅜㅠ I used them together without knowing, and ended up with my skin becoming sensitive + reddened for a while...

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.
