Feels Harsh on Skin

Doesn't Exfoliate Well

Irritates Eyes

Causes Allergic Reactions

Oily

Improves Skin Texture

Removes Wrinkles

Improves Skin Tone

Not Irritating

Silky Smooth

Easy to Apply

Has an Anti-Aging Effect

Contains a small amount of retinol. Use in the evening.

▪︎Irritation: At first, I generously applied it around my eyes and on my eyelids, thinking it was great. However, after a few days, I experienced intense tingling and irritation around my eyes. As seen in the second photo, my eyelids became red and swollen. Even applying toner in that area caused a stinging sensation.
I stopped using it for a while until the discomfort subsided. Now, I only apply a rice grain-sized amount under my eyes.
While there was skin irritation when I used too much, it didn't cause any eye stinging.

▪︎Absorbs: Applies smoothly and absorbs well, leaving skin feeling hydrated. Makeup applies seamlessly on top without pilling or patchiness.
▪︎Price: More affordable than most eye creams, and you need to use very little product.
As shown in the attached photo, you only need to apply a rice grain-sized amount - much less than you might expect. This means it will last a really long time.

레티날 300ppm 크림

I think it might be causing some skin irritation, so I've been mixing small amounts into other creams when I use it.

I'm mixing this with my moisturizer, and it's working great! It applies smoothly and seems to refine my skin texture.

Remember to patch test before fully incorporating this product into your skincare routine, especially if you have sensitive skin. Also, when using retinoids like this, it's crucial to apply sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from increased sun sensitivity.

There don't seem to be any significant drawbacks...
If I had to mention one, it's that the ingredients work quite intensely on the skin. This might make it challenging for those with poor skin condition or super sensitive skin to use.
For these individuals, using retinol instead of retinal might be a more comfortable option!

When applied to areas with tiny bumps or where they're likely to appear, they vanish by the next day.
After using this, your overall complexion gains a noticeable glow.
It shouldn't be used when your skin barrier is compromised, and it must be applied at night.
Start with small amounts, then after about two weeks, you can gradually increase the quantity.

I recommend mixing it with a hydrating moisturizer in the evening. It's not advisable to apply it during the day. Make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly if you do use it during daytime.

You need to use it consistently for a long time to see noticeable results.

I was cautious about using retinal, but mixing this product with a hydrating moisturizer made it non-irritating, which I really appreciated. This company's products are reasonably priced, so I can purchase them without hesitation. I noticed my skin felt softer when cleansing.

햇빛이나 자외선, 불빛에 매우 민감함. 불 다 끈 저녁에만 사용 가능… 심지어 다음 날 아침 세수 후에도 선크림 필수로 발라야 함. 아니면 황당스럽게 기미가 올라옴,,,

1) 미세 주름 + 피부결 개선에 효과를 보임
레티놀 성분이랑 잘 맞았어서 조금 강하다는 레티날에 도전해봄…! 모공관리 등에 도움이 되길 바라며 격일로 관리해보니 전체적인 피부결이 맨질맨질해짐 만족스러움 

2) 수분감 많고 빠르게 흡수되는 제형
가벼운 로션보단 살짝 더 쫀쫀한 크림형태에 가까운데, 촉촉한 수분감이 느껴져 답답하거나 끈적임이 없음. 흡수도 빠르게 잘 돼서 스킨케어 마지막 단계에 올려주면 끝임.  

3) 성분 구성이 꽤 훌륭함
레티날 + 펩타이드 + 병풀 + 판테놀까지. 예민해질 수 있는 비타민A 유도체에 진정 성분이 쏙쏙 들어가 있어서 균형이 잘 잡혀있음.

The reviewer appreciates the brand's consistent affordability, suggesting that other companies should prioritize competitive pricing over expensive marketing campaigns. However, they express uncertainty about the efficacy of retinol as an ingredient, rather than criticizing this particular product. This indicates a need for more education on skincare ingredients and their benefits.

Unsure about the effectiveness
It's not so much an issue with this specific product, but rather that I'm uncertain about the effects of retinol in general.

Price point
This brand always delivers excellent value for money. I wish other brands would focus less on celebrity endorsements and more on lowering their prices.

With only 0.03% retinal, I can't really feel much of an effect from the vitamin A.

It's great that it contains various beneficial ingredients like panthenol, niacinamide, and retinal.

For those with combination dehydrated skin or super sensitive skin, be sure to layer this product with a hydration-rich moisturizer to prevent deep dryness and maintain your skin's oil and moisture balance.

Being a functional product, it has almost no moisturizing ability. After applying and letting it absorb, a hydrating cream is essential. If you forget to apply one, your skin feels extremely dry.

As my introduction to retinol products, I could clearly feel the difference between when I used it and when I didn't.

The only issue was some minor skin peeling at the start, but this isn't a problem with the product itself. It's a natural reaction when using retinal.

This product is perfect for retinal beginners. It caused almost no irritation, making it easy to incorporate into my routine. I eventually used it daily and saw noticeable results. It brightened my overall complexion, cleared up small blemishes, and effectively controlled breakouts.

Use this in your evening routine. While it's a cream, you might want to layer a moisturizer on top unless it's summertime!

It's a bit underwhelming, to be honest. Don't expect any dramatic skin transformations!

1. Texture
First off, it's a cream, so the consistency is just right - not too runny, but pleasantly thick! I've only used retinol serums before, so it's a bit tricky to compare, but being a cream definitely makes it easier to target specific areas without dripping. It's adequately moisturizing with a nourishing feel, yet not overly heavy. You might still need to follow up with a moisturizer, though in summer, this could be enough to finish your routine!

2. Effectiveness
If you already have great skin, don't expect miraculous results! I don't have much hyperpigmentation, just some pore concerns. If you're dealing with severe discoloration or extremely enlarged pores, you might see more noticeable effects. For me, it's more about maintaining my current skin condition.

3. Scent
There's a faint medicinal scent, but it's not unpleasant. Even those with sensitive noses should find it tolerable.

4. Packaging
For functional products like this, a tube is definitely preferable to a dropper or jar. It's easy to use and apply - a big plus!

5. Overall
I'd recommend this as a budget-friendly cream for those wanting to try retinal in a cream form. It works hard without breaking the bank!
