Pros
I purchased a product from Daiso that was said to contain a lot of retinol. 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.
Cons
The effect was not enormously large, but there were no drawbacks.

Pros
First, my skin type is combination / porous / slightly acne-prone / with acne scars and pigmentation! 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.
Cons
The formula seemed to lack efficacy, with a slightly oily residue and a strong fragrance, which was disappointing.
Tip
Even 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...

Pros
The cost-effectiveness is good? 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.
Cons
It'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.

Pros
It's more moisturizing and less irritating than I expected. I recommend it.
Cons
The retinol content is relatively low, so I'm not sure if it will actually be effective.
