레티놀 성분의 극적인 효과를 보진 못했어요
함량이 얼마나 높은지에 따라 차이가 나는 거 같은데
효과는 잘 모르겠네요

자극 없고 촉촉해요
시트도 부들부들해서 닦토해도 자극 안 돼서 좋았어요
끈적이게 남는 것도 없어요

레티놀 시카 흔적 패드

As mentioned in the instructions, it's best to use it as a mask for 10-20 minutes and then smooth out your skin texture.
I found it pleasant to keep it in the refrigerator for an extra cooling effect.

I felt a slight tightness immediately after application, which was unexpected.
Apart from that, I had no complaints about the product.

This product is perfect for refining skin texture.
It's refreshing and ideal for calming facial redness.

5분 정두 올려놓았다가 닦토하면 좋아여
그리고 약간? 톤 정리 효과두 있는 것 같애여 피부톤이 균일해지는 느낌?!

패드에 있는 앰플의 양이 조금 적은 편이어서 수분 충전을 위해 단독으로 사용하기는 어려웠어용

패드가 두꺼워서 찢어서 사용할 수 있다는 점이 좋았구 패드 사용 후 끈적이지 않는다는 게 좋았습니다~

You can cut the pads and use them on other areas too - they're quite versatile!

The pads are a bit too saturated in the container, so I have to drain off some excess liquid each time I use one. That's a bit inconvenient.

I use these frequently and love how gentle the pads are, causing less irritation. Each sheet is thick, absorbing well and quickly cooling my skin. It's really refreshing!

Avoid using on the eyes.
Apply to larger areas like the cheeks and forehead.

For super sensitive moms like me, there was some redness.
I'm not sure if it's an allergic reaction or contact irritation from the pad.

This is my first time trying a pad with retinol!

As soon as I opened the package, I noticed the pads were absolutely soaked in essence!
When I took one out and wiped my face, it felt soft and plush with almost no irritation.
I love convenient products and have been using pore pads and soothing pads, but
this product has no rough texture - the pad feels as soft as cotton, which I really like.

After cleansing, I gently wipe along my skin texture or leave it on my cheeks like a mask... the essence absorbs beautifully, leaving my skin hydrated.
Above all, my skin felt comfortable after application, which was great... that's the advantage of cica ingredients.
The next day, my makeup went on smoothly, so I was very satisfied.
The dryness on my cheeks was noticeably reduced.

The packaging is by far the most convenient and appealing compared to other pad products.
They even attached tweezers to the lid!!!
It stays firmly in place without falling off.
For those who struggle with twisting mechanisms, I highly recommend this.
It opens by lifting upwards!!!
I absolutely love it.

I'd recommend this to anyone looking to start retinol care with pads. They're thin enough to stay on your cheeks for over 15 minutes, so they work great as a mask.

This is an excellent item that contributes to maintaining skin health when used in your daily skincare routine!

Since it contains retinol, I recommend starting with a small amount. If dryness is a concern, it's best to follow up with a solid moisturizing routine. Don't forget to use sunscreen when using this in the morning! It's worth trying for those who want to improve their skin condition.

You can rely on this for blemishes and pore concerns! Even with my super sensitive skin, I can use the Innisfree Retinol Deer Repair Pads with confidence. After wiping, my skin feels refreshed while maintaining proper hydration. It's especially effective as a spot treatment on areas where your skin is unstable or pores are bothersome - you'll notice a calming effect the next morning. I also love the non-sticky texture. Since it contains retinol, I recommend starting with a small amount. If dryness is a concern, it's best to follow up with a solid moisturizing routine. This is definitely worth trying for anyone looking to improve their complexion!

It's a bit disappointing in terms of seeing the full retinol effects. I'm still using it, so I'll update my review if I notice any changes with continued use.

The essence is generous, so it doesn't dry out quickly. The pads are thin yet substantial, allowing for excellent adherence to the skin.

I recommend using this after cleansing in the evening, during the toner step of your routine!

They could slightly increase the retinol concentration.

Skin Type: Dry

After using a 0.3% retinol cream from another brand, I decided to try Innisfree's retinol line, which is quite popular. I purchased their Retinol Trace Pad.

It's a fluid-type pad, similar to a toner. It feels like an exfoliating toner!
The pads are so thin you can't separate individual sheets.
I'd recommend these retinol pads for beginners - they're not rough and absorb well into the skin, leaving it hydrated.

While the retinol effects were subtle, the addition of cica ingredients seemed to prevent any blemishes from appearing.

There's plenty of essence on each pad - it even drips when you take one out!

Recommended for: All skin types

The price? Full price is too expensive... Wait for a sale to purchase. Also, splitting it in half can be inconvenient.

The pad material is excellent - firm yet soft. Both the exfoliating toner and pack are great. The essence is generously soaked in, allowing for over 20 minutes of wear. Somehow, splitting it in half seems easier than with the vitamin version? When split into two, it covers cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin, though it dries faster and peels off a bit roughly. It feels more elastic than the vitamin one and was perfect for winter use. It also effectively cools down any skin heat.

I felt the target audience was a bit unclear. I think it would have been better if both sides contained retinol. They said you could tear and use separately, but the pads don't separate easily.

The quality of these pads is the best I've ever used. When exfoliating, there's absolutely no irritation and they're incredibly gentle. Even after leaving them on for over 20 minutes, there's no burning sensation.

So far, I haven't found any downsides while using this product. It's great!

Excellent for pore care with retinol, and it also contains cica ingredients which are great for soothing and hydrating the skin. The lightweight formula doesn't feel sticky when applied, which is a plus. The dual-sided pads are fantastic - the white side works well as an exfoliating toner, while the green side is perfect for targeting pores and blemishes. It's amazing to have two functions in one pad! The essence is generously soaked into each pad. The thin pads adhere well to the skin. This product is ideal for those needing skin soothing.
