If you absorb it well, your skin will have a slightly velvety feel. There is no stickiness and the formula itself is not heavy, so I am satisfied!
ConsThere are no regrets. According to my standards, it is a product that I have been using consistently without any irritation, even when applied on damaged skin.
TipRetinol content is low, so it can be applied comfortably. After the basic finishing step, apply powder thinly when doing makeup. Recently it has been clumping a bit, so the combination with powder does not seem ideal.

I was worried because I have oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin, but it was fine (for those with clogged pores and who get inflammatory or milia from acid-based products). It provides sufficient moisturization for oily skin types (based on early winter and spring weather conditions). The application and absorption are good, and it doesn't feel heavy (individual results may vary).
Cons-The retinol effect is unclear, perhaps due to the low content. -There is occasionally a slightly stuffy, itchy feeling, perhaps due to the oiliness as it is a cream. -The cosmetic has a fairly strong scent (individual difference).
TipApply only at night, and gradually increase the amount after a small-scale test.

I bought one based on a pharmacist's recommendation that the price was extremely cheap compared to the content, but even though it was a 5,000 won product, it seems like a lot was used without achieving the desired effect.. However, it's generally still usable.
ConsIt's mostly usable, but the fragrance is way too overpowering.. At first, I felt like I was going to vomit when using it;; I wonder why they doused it with so much fragrance ㅠㅠ

As a beginner with retinol, I recommend trying it out right away. 💙 The spreadability and absorption are all perfect!! It layers extremely well with serums and other basic skincare products!! I always apply it as the last step in my nighttime skincare routine and when I wake up, my skin is so bouncy and plump!! 💙 If you're in your mid-to-late 20s, I'd recommend buying and trying it... Retinol is definitely the way to go for self-firming. Please invest just 5,000 won to give it a try! Even if it doesn't work out, it's worth a shot... Please do buy and try it, it's really that good!!!!! If it doesn't work well, you can always use it as a hand cream or neck cream!!! But still, it's only 5,000 won, so it's worth a try. (You know this isn't an ad, I'm just genuinely recommending something I really like)
ConsThe fragrance is really...... just like the smell of my grandmother's cosmetics! Are you looking at Tony Mori? If they're going to renew it, please remove or change the fragrance!!! Except for the fragrance, this is a perfect product for beginners with retinol 🩷. I really liked it a lot.
TipRetinol should only be applied in the evening, you know? And I recommend starting with a low dose and gradually increasing the strength. First, check if this product suits your skin with retinol. I'm doing well with it, so I'm going to move on to a higher level!! Let's all join the world of retinol together!!! If this was helpful, please give a big heart!!

As this was my first time buying a retinol-containing product, I opted for one with a lower concentration. I've been using it daily and it suits my skin type well. The product applies smoothly and has a soft, creamy texture that adheres nicely to the skin. While I haven't noticed any dramatic effects, my skin does seem to be improving. After application, it feels incredibly moisturized and absorbs the product well.
ConsThe effect was not enormously large, but there were no drawbacks.

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...
