It's a lifesaver in winter when makeup tends to flake - applying 2 layers of toner before makeup keeps skin hydrated and helps makeup adhere better. It's also effective for dead skin cells (great for dull or rough skin) and improves overall skin texture.
ConsWhile it claims to work on pores, I didn't notice significant improvements in that area. However, more consistent use might yield better results!
TipFor maximum hydration, it's more effective to apply directly with your hands rather than using a cotton pad. However, if you're focusing on dead skin cells or skin texture, using a soft cotton pad works best.

Texture It's a toner with a slightly dense, sticky water-like consistency. In winter, my previous toner (A*a Houttuynia Cordata Toner) made my face feel tight, but this one provides such great hydration that I don't need to apply a second layer of serum or ampoule. 2. Irritation As someone who has used basic retinol ampoules and another brand's 0.1% cream, I can say this doesn't cause any irritation. No sensitivity to sunlight either. While retinol ampoules used to irritate my super sensitive skin, this one doesn't cause any issues when applied.
Cons1. Despite containing retinol, I didn't see much improvement in my pores, sebum, or dead skin cells. 2. I'm not sure if 'toner' is the right category for this product. It seems closer to an essence...

Each pump dispenses about 1cm of product, allowing you to control the amount you use. Sensitivity: Despite containing retinol, it didn't irritate my super sensitive skin at all. Texture: It's described as an essence, but it's quite fluid with only a slight viscosity. It's closer to a watery toner, really. Moisture: It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry! While it's not oily, it's not just water that dries you out either. I wouldn't say it's deeply hydrating, but it's comfortable.
ConsI'll need to keep using it to see any dramatic effects on pore improvement and Inner Glow.

When applied to the face, it leaves a slight residue, similar to a watery essence. ✔️Application As a first-time user of Riddle Shot, I found it gentle with no irritation. Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes or redness. It could be a great introductory product for those new to retinol. The absorption is quite quick after application. ✔️Scent It's fragrance-free. This makes it suitable for those with sensitivities to scents. ✔️Effects Containing squalane and hyaluronic acid, it provided a noticeable hydration. Layering it twice or more leaves a slight richness on the skin. ✔️Packaging The entire Retinol PDRN series has attractive packaging with well-chosen colors. Unlike other toners, this one comes in a pump bottle, which makes it convenient to use. I appreciated being able to apply it directly to my face without any spillage.
Cons✔️Results Despite containing retinol and claims of helping with pores and brightening, the effects were minimal after just a week of use. It stung slightly when used after extracting blemishes.
