Nice formula to use, easy to apply and absorb. Very gentle on the skin and does not require a long time for the skin to adapt. Very easy to use, good for beginners to retinol.
Cons
This product is not potent enough for my skin type.

Pros
- I originally used the Iope 0.05 0.1 retinol, but the price range was too high, so I purchased it while in Canada - I paid $25 for a 30ml bottle, which was a reasonable price compared to the over $100,000 price tag in Korea - The adaptation period was not as long as expected, given the retinol concentration! - The application is very smooth and I am very satisfied
Cons
It seems you can only purchase it through direct import or by buying it yourself, as it is not available in Korea..
Tip
It was easy to purchase at Shoppers Drug Mart/London Drugs during my trip to Canada A rich cream is essential to use after applying the retinol!

Pros
It has good spreadability and skin absorption. That's about it.
Cons
The retinol ingredient seems to strongly irritate my skin. After applying it, my skin feels smooth and glossy, but it also turns red at the same time. Even when I adjust the amount, it's the same.

Pros
This product is effective in improving pore and uneven skin texture in the T-zone. I'm not sure if the improvement is solely due to this product, as I used it together with the Numberz Serum No.3, but my skin texture has definitely improved significantly. I'm not sure about the retinol content, but it can be applied to the entire face, including the eye area, without any stinging sensation. I currently use it every evening, and occasionally in the morning on days when I can pay attention to sun protection. Despite this, it is non-irritating.
Cons
There's nothing particularly negative. When troublesome acne pops up, I use the Differin gel, but one needs to be careful when using this product together. However, for acne-prone skin, this product may not be the best choice.
Tip
On Amazon in the US, it costs around $12, but I'm not sure about the price in Korea. If I have to order it directly and the price is over 15,000 won, I wouldn't recommend it. Honestly, if living in Korea, I would be willing to pay a bit more for a decent retinol product.

Pros
My skin texture has improved a lot, and my blemishes and scars have significantly improved as well.
Cons
After about a week, it doesn't seem as noticeable as it was at first.

Pros
Since my skin is sensitive, I only apply it to my forehead and neck. I'm hoping it will help reduce forehead wrinkles! And I apply it daily, and haven't experienced any clogged pores or other skin reactions, so I keep using it every day!
Cons
There aren't any yet! I'll add them if any come up.

Pros
I'm using retinol for the first time and I'm seeing great results. It's a high-concentration 0.3% formula, so the effects seem to be fast-acting. I'm using it every other day and it's not too harsh on my skin at all. It's much gentler than I expected. I had a lot of acne scars, and while the acne itself has gone away, the reddish marks remained, which really bothered me. I tried various whitening products but retinol seems to be the answer. I highly recommend this to anyone struggling with stubborn red acne marks! It's only been 2 weeks and the marks have visibly faded already. I'll add some photos once they fade even more. The formula is a typical serum-like lotion that absorbs nicely and leaves a fresh finish.
Cons
The only downside is the small bottle size. Since I have to order it online, it's a bit of a hassle to reorder frequently. But given retinol's potency, a little goes a long way so the bottle has lasted me a while.
Tip
You can find it at cheaper prices on 11st or Amazon.

Pros
The price is affordable, and it seems like a great introductory product for those who want to try retinol. I always enjoy Cerave products as they are so gentle.
Cons
I started using retinol after seeing recommendations on YouTube, but I'm not sure if it's really providing a noticeable firming effect. I've been using it for about three months now, but I haven't seen any significant results yet.
Tip
The retinol concentration is 0.3%.
