Contains 0.1% pure retinol, which is remarkably gentle for a retinol product and absorbs cleanly into the skin. This is the retinol serum I recommend to friends who are curious about incorporating retinol into their skincare routine.
Cons
There's nothing to dislike about this product. It's excellent for both skin improvement and hydration.
Tip
For even faster results, try using it with a galvanic device.

Despite containing retinol, it's gentle on the skin. It brightens my complexion and improves elasticity.
Cons
I don't have any complaints at the moment. It's non-irritating and effective. I'll definitely keep using it.

It's gentle considering its retinol content. No tingling sensation and it doesn't irritate my skin.
Cons
The price is a bit steep. I'd like to use it consistently, but it's a bit of a stretch for my budget.

I bought this because I'd get 3000 won if I didn't make any purchases for 90 days! The way it absorbs and applies is pretty decent!
Cons
I'm not really sure if it actually increases skin elasticity...
Tip
For elasticity, I think it would be fine if it just helps control skin temperature well!

My skin texture becomes unbelievably radiant and beautiful! However, as I have super sensitive skin, I made sure to use it only once a week!
Cons
As expected with retinol, if used too frequently, it's essential to adjust the frequency and amount based on your skin type and condition!

The way it absorbs and its absorption power were really great. I loved how it wasn't sticky and felt refreshingly light on my skin.
Cons
There wasn't anything particularly disappointing, but the scent might be a bit divisive. However, it's not an overpowering fragrance that would bother most people.

This seems like a great product for those new to functional skincare. I love how it absorbs well and feels refreshing on the skin.
Cons
While I don't have any specific complaints, I feel the amount might be a bit small to see noticeable changes with just one bottle.

I bought the new product out of curiosity and found the watery texture to be satisfactory, with good spreadability and quick absorption.
Cons
While there are no dramatic effects, the product is stable and reliable, without any major downsides.

It feels light and moisturizing. I didn't have any major breakouts.
Cons
I didn't feel much of a difference. It's a fairly standard skincare product.

In my mid-30s, I've now realized the importance of retinol. This was my first time using retinol. I was always afraid that using a high concentration would irritate my skin, so I kept putting it off. But after reading the ingredients and reviews on Hwahae, I carefully applied just a pea-sized amount, gently massaging it in. Then I applied my usual mild moisturizer before going to bed. My cheeks and forehead turned slightly flushed, so I applied a bit of panthenol ointment and went to sleep. The next day, my face felt so plump and bouncy - the water seemed to just bounce off when I washed my face!
Cons
I purchased this at the original price on Coupang, but now it's about 6,000 won cheaper. 😭 Other than the price change, I'm satisfied and have no other complaints.
Tip
Even though this is a gentle retinol, I'd still recommend starting with a very small amount at first. I'm still only using it 1-2 times a week, not daily.
