Fortunately, it suits me really well, and I've been using it in the evenings without any blemishes. While it's not super hydrating on its own, using it with another moisturizer works perfectly. The price is incredibly reasonable for the ingredients, which makes me very happy! Now that I'm in my 30s, I'm concerned about pores, wrinkles, and firmness, so I decided to give this a try. After washing my face the next morning, my skin felt softer, and even after just one use, my pores seemed a bit tighter. I'm very satisfied! I plan to use the 300 strength to adjust, then move on to the 1000. I absolutely recommend it!
ConsThe product size is on the smaller side. Using a small amount will make it last longer, but as you increase the amount after the adjustment period, it seems to run out quickly. Still, I'm satisfied considering the price. The yellow formula might leave slight marks on your pillow.
TipI'm using this with niacinamide from Dermafactory. Using them together in the evening gives amazing results - I highly recommend trying both! The price is so reasonable that buying both is still cheaper than a whole chicken. It's very affordable. I use it in this order: toner > niacinamide > retinal + my usual moisturizer. Even those with super sensitive skin can use it comfortably every evening! Make sure to go through an adjustment period with the retinal at first. Don't be too eager, or your skin might react badly. It's best to gradually increase the amount after the adjustment period.

I tried Dermafactory's Retinal 300ppm, known for its skin regeneration and firming benefits. After using it myself, I can definitely feel the effects and wanted to share with you all! Dermafactory is affordable with great ingredients - I bought this with my own money! Thanks to the highly concentrated 300ppm retinal, my skin texture has become incredibly smooth with consistent use. I noticed my blemishes and fine lines gradually fading. As someone with super sensitive skin, I appreciated that it didn't cause any irritation and was comfortable to use. The hydrating finish meant I could use it without worrying about dryness. The price point is also reasonable, so I recommend it to those looking for a cost-effective retinal product! The fact that it's gentle on the skin is a huge merit. Excellent for improving skin texture and recommended for wrinkle prevention.
ConsDue to the nature of retinal, it's better to use it in the evening rather than during the day. If you use it during the day, you'll need to apply sunscreen, which might feel a bit cumbersome. Also, the effects aren't immediate and require consistent use, so those expecting quick changes might be a bit disappointed.
TipWhen first using it, start with 2-3 times a week rather than daily. As your skin adapts, gradually increase the frequency. Apply it as the last step of your evening skincare routine, followed by plenty of moisturizer for comfortable use without skin irritation. If you use it during the day, make sure to apply sunscreen diligently!
