  Pros

  I bought this product to brighten my skin and improve skin texture as it seemed to work well when I tried it before. I really liked the application and the fragrance.

  Cons

  While it doesn't seem to have much oil, I've been experiencing a lot of breakouts. Acne has started appearing around my under-eye area and cheeks. At the time, I didn't know the reason and had to go to a dermatologist for a year, taking medication. After my acne cleared up, I used this for night care for two days, but the acne is coming back. The only thing that's changed is my skincare routine, so it seems this product was the culprit all along. I used it together with the booster it came with.

  Pros

  I repurchased it. I hate it when it's both dry and sticky, but this one seems to improve my skin texture and doesn't feel sticky at all, yet my skin feels moisturized. The oil level seems to suit me well. The fragrance is also nice, and my mom asked me to get her one as well. It's a night repair product, but I can also use it in the morning, which is great.

  Cons

  I wasn't aware of the potentially harmful ingredients, but it seems there are quite a few. However, with adult skincare products, it's almost like you have to accept that there will be some functionality-oriented components that may not be the safest. It's kind of an unavoidable trade-off.

  Tip

  When Missha has sales, if you choose carefully, they sometimes give you a toner/skin when you just buy a lotion.

  Pros

  Overall, the product seems to have strong moisturizing components and a significant amount of anti-wrinkle and whitening ingredients. The texture feels quite oily, likely due to the glycerin content. However, it seems suitable for dry skin types in terms of both texture and ingredients. The inclusion of retinol and arbutin, which are relatively potent functional ingredients, is also appealing. The product claims to improve skin texture, and I can confirm that my skin does feel more hydrated and soothed when using it. The application leaves a definitely smooth and soft feel. I initially purchased this product intending to use it as a night cream, and I've ended up using it for longer than expected. The great spreadability (the formula is quite fluid) means that a small amount covers the entire face well. Products containing retinol often have a thicker, heavier texture, but this one is pleasantly hydrating and soft, which is a nice advantage. I bought this as a functional cosmetic but ended up being won over by the moisturizing properties.

  Cons

  Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate is primarily used as a UV-blocking ingredient, so I'm not sure why it's included in this product. Perhaps it's because retinol is highly vulnerable to UV exposure, so they've added a certain amount of sun protection. However, the product concept is to restore youthful skin during sleep, so I'm not sure if the inclusion of a sun protection ingredient is necessary. It seems they may have added it for those who use the product both day and night without distinction. But I doubt this small amount would provide adequate sun protection, and for those who only use it at night as intended, this component may be a bit unnecessary. While ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate is not considered harmful, and in Korea, the maximum allowed concentration in cosmetics is 7.5% (which is quite strict compared to other countries), it is an ingredient that doesn't wash off easily with water, as it is only soluble in oils. There have also been reports that Missha's retinol-containing products seem to be more prone to deterioration compared to other brands, so the inclusion of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate may be to help prevent discoloration (as it is known to have a stabilizing effect on products). Overall, this is a bit of a disappointment. Apart from this, the product seems to be a strong moisturizer.

  Tip

  It's best to gently cleanse your face with a cleanser the next morning after using this product at night. Retinol is highly sensitive to UV exposure, and while ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate is commonly used as a sunscreen ingredient, it's not an especially potent UV-blocking agent.

  Pros

  The lotion has a slightly watery texture. It absorbs quickly when applied and leaves a dry feeling, so I had to apply it twice. But when I woke up in the morning, my skin was not too oily and still felt moisturized. During use, I didn't experience any breakouts and my skin texture remained smooth.

  Cons

  There's really nothing disappointing about the product. The only downside is that the price range is a bit burdensome, so I couldn't repurchase it. I'll keep an eye out for Missha's day or skin lotion sales at half-price.
