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.

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!!

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.

As it was my first time using retinol, I tried a low concentration and low-cost product, and I was able to use it comfortably on a daily basis without any noticeable side effects.
ConsThe low capacity means the efficacy is not very high, and it has a somewhat medicinal smell, so the fragrance is not that great.

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.
