ProsI've been using this product for about 6 bottles now, purchasing it during a 1+1 promotion on Charmzone's website. Its high viscosity gives a rich, firming feel when applied, and it's great for hydration. If I had to break it down, I'd say it's about 20% hydration and 80% oil content. You definitely feel more of the rich texture than the hydration. Rather than absorbing quickly, it tends to sit on the skin. In the peak of summer, it felt a bit heavy, but I didn't break out, so I just adjusted the amount I used. It contains 0.2% third-generation retinol, but there's absolutely no irritation. I remember when I used to order 0.25% Retin-A cream from Thailand, I had constant peeling, dryness, and skin sensitivity for 6 months. But with this product, I can apply it generously without any discomfort. For my combination dehydrated skin, even in winter, I just use a toner, one hydrating serum, and this product - no dryness until morning! While I haven't noticed significant changes in my pores or wrinkles, my skin texture has remained consistently smooth throughout use. It's perfect for retinol beginners and those with super sensitive skin.
ConsGiven its high viscosity for a serum, you need to pump the dropper several times. It comes out in small amounts, which can be a bit frustrating to use, and the area around the bottle opening can get messy.
