Pros
As someone with super sensitive skin, I was worried this might be too harsh, but after applying it post-evening cleanse, I didn't experience any blemishes. At first, I was on the fence, but after consistently using it for about a week, I felt like my pores had visibly shrunk and my complexion looked more refined and improved overall. I think continued use could yield even better results. The serum has a thin consistency, and I applied it by pumping onto both cheeks. It absorbs well and has a nice texture.
Cons
I'm not sure if it was due to this product, but for the first day or two, my chin and cheeks felt slightly red and dry. However, this subsided over time. It's important to carefully read and follow the usage instructions.

Pros
I've been using this product for about a week since winning it from The Hwahae Testers. It applies smoothly without being too sticky or too light. After using toner to even out my skin texture, this product has a nice, firm application that I really enjoy. As someone sensitive to scents, I appreciate its subtle fragrance. I've tried many serums claiming to be good for pores, but never saw results. While this one isn't dramatically different, after a week of use, I can feel my skin becoming more elastic. Rather than reducing pore size, I've noticed my previously sagging and enlarged pores seem to be gradually improving, giving my skin a firmer feel. I definitely plan to repurchase this when I run out! The particles seem smaller than pore size, so I think it penetrates the pores more effectively. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
Cons
There weren't any particular downsides. Both the application method and the squeeze tube packaging were excellent.
Tip
This product also offers brightening and anti-wrinkle benefits. I applied it around my eyes and noticed they seemed brighter. It's a great product to use all over your face, not just on your T-zone!

Pros
* This review is based on a product provided by The Hwahae Testers As someone with acne-prone, oily skin, I've tried retinol products from various brands. After using this product, I experienced a round of dead skin cells shedding, which significantly improved my skin texture. I definitely felt a tightening effect! I'm planning to repurchase once I finish this one!
Cons
There weren't any downsides, but since it's a retinol product, you need to be careful not to use it around the eyes and mouth.

Pros
I've been using this for two weeks since April 16th! I have combination dehydrated skin that's super sensitive, and I don't like sticky textures. The application is smooth, and it absorbs well. After about two weeks of use, I noticed my pores seemed slightly smaller and my skin texture felt softer! Overall, I'm satisfied with it.
Cons
Perhaps due to my super sensitive skin, I did feel a slight irritation at first. However, as I continued using it, my skin seemed to adapt, and after two weeks, it felt better than when I started. No blemishes appeared! Also, I usually pump the serum twice, and while the amount may vary, I noticed a slightly sticky feeling during absorption.

Pros
The serum has a runny texture that applies smoothly and absorbs well. As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes, I noticed my skin became softer and my complexion improved after using this serum containing retinol and bakuchiol.
Cons
Unfortunately, possibly due to the high concentration of retinol, I experienced increased redness, a burning sensation, and tingling, which led me to stop using it midway. This was likely due to my skin's sensitivity rather than an issue with the product itself.
Tip
Apply gently after evening out your skin texture with toner. For best results, follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to lock in the moisture.

Pros
After using it for about ten days, I can say it really works wonders for improving skin texture! The absorption is incredibly smooth, and I definitely felt my skin becoming softer. As for pores, I didn't notice a huge difference since mine weren't that problematic to begin with, but I believe consistent use could yield positive results.
Cons
The product's effectiveness is overshadowed by its small size. After just ten days of use, I've already gone through about half the bottle. It seems to run out way too quickly.

Pros
The usage period is about 2 weeks. Skin type: Combination (with some pores in the T-zone). *I had previous experience using retinol, so I used this product daily, excluding about 2 days. *The texture is viscous, similar to a nourishing ampoule. *The application is smooth and absorbs well, like a regular moisturizing ampoule. 1. Improved skin texture in the morning Definitely, the skin feels smoother and cleaner the day after application! If you're a retinol user, you'll know the feeling of having soft skin the next day. 2. Makeup applies well on the skin With the improved skin texture and the product's effect on pores, makeup applies nicely and pores appear more refined. The pores didn't visibly shrink, but they seem tightened, making the makeup application very satisfactory during the usage period. 3. Gentler than retinol The retinol products I used previously would sometimes cause peeling the next day if I applied too much and slept in it. But with this product, I never experienced that, even when I applied a lot. I'd recommend this to those interested in retinol but have sensitive skin.
Cons
The scent is, well, what would you call it... Rubber...? Medicinal...? It has a very distinctive scent, but only in a very small amount. As someone who prefers unscented products, it was a bit strange for the first few days, but once I got used to it, the small amount is hardly noticeable.

Pros
This is a review of a product used only in the evenings for a week. I normally like retinol ingredients and have oily skin, but this product was absorbed well without irritation and wasn't too greasy, which I liked. Since I only used it for a week, I didn't see dramatic improvements like reduced pores or clearer skin. However, retinol does tend to make the skin feel smoother the next day after application and this product had that effect. Before this product, I was using a serum with bakuchiol, and I felt this retinol product was more effective than the bakuchiol one. After a week, I noticed a slight improvement in some areas of pigmentation from past blemishes, though this could also be from the natural fading over time. Nonetheless, I think the retinol in this product played a role. While retinol products tend to be pricey, I think this level of investment is worthwhile for the antioxidant benefits. I plan to repurchase this product.
Cons
The packaging was neat, the user experience was good, and the irritation was not too severe, so I was satisfied. There were no disappointments. I hope a more potent retinol serum with this concentration will be released, which I can progress to once I've adapted to this one.
Tip
This product provides significant benefits to the skin, so it inevitably causes some damage as well. Therefore, it's a good idea to also do barrier care. I apply multiple layers of toner, then a hydrating serum, followed by applying this product and then a barrier cream.

Pros
Skin type: Combination, acne-prone, sensitive, butterfly zone pores Fragrance: Almost odorless, with a faint, sweet scent Texture & Application: Not runny, but a thin consistency. Applies smoothly and absorbs quickly, with a bouncy feel. Effects: - Although pores did not dramatically shrink in the short time of use, skin elasticity was noticeably improved by the next morning. Continued use is expected to yield greater results. - The combination of retinol and bakuchiol seems effective. As someone with sensitive skin, I usually experience irritation and exfoliation with retinol products, but this one did not cause those issues - it seems to be a gentle, non-irritating formula. - Contains ceramides, which is beneficial for hydration. - Skin texture has improved, becoming smoother and softer.
Cons
The opaque container makes it impossible to see how much is left ㅜㅜ
Tip
Those who tend to tan easily or develop blemishes should apply it only in the evening and be sure to apply sunscreen the next day.

Pros
My skin type is dry, with blemishes, and I use shade 21. 👍🏻Spreadability It applied smoothly and softly without being drying. However, since my skin is dry, this alone did not provide enough moisture, so I had to layer another product on top. 👍🏻Skin texture After applying it, I could feel that the skin on my T-zone and cheeks became smoother! After using this, my makeup applied well without emphasizing any flaky skin.
Cons
Irritation I thought I would be able to use it without much trouble since I have been using a retinol cream, but the temples and the area around the eyes became stinging and reddened. I recommend that people with sensitive skin use it in small amounts.
