It's said to use Nasa stem cell technology, but I'm not sure about that. What's important to me is whether it's good or bad for my skin. This was my first time trying a Bakuchiol serum with a slightly higher concentration, and while it did accelerate my skin cell turnover, my skin couldn't tolerate it and my troubles worsened. After my skin troubles calmed down, I tried using the remaining one-third of the bottle a year later. Bakuchiol serums don't exactly make your skin look whitened, but the accelerated cell turnover gives it a 'freshly peeled egg' look. It works well if you use it properly, but those with sensitive, trouble-prone skin may experience worsening issues.
ConsSince the bottle is brown (I used the pre-renewal version), I couldn't see how much product was left. It was a bit inconvenient to check the volume by holding it up to the light. Those with sensitive, troubled skin should absolutely avoid using this. Do not use it when you have active breakouts. If you're trying it for the first time, apply 3 drops on each cheek and forehead, observe the results, and then gradually increase the amount.
TipThis product feels less slippery and drying after application. I recommend following it up with a regenerative cream. It's a good companion to the serum as it helps with exfoliating the skin.

When I first used it, my skin felt soft the next day.
ConsEven though it's said to have a high concentration, when I actually used it, it felt like it had a lower concentration than low-concentration products.

Since the Bakuchiol ingredient is more stable than Retinol, the concentration has increased significantly, but it doesn't sting at all..? I've been using it for over 3 weeks now! The formula has excellent spreadability - it's a very runny, flowing texture. Being so thin, it absorbs really quickly! Since Retinol needs to be fully absorbed before moving to the next step, this is perfect. The fragrance is like that of a high-end vintage cosmetic..? The pore-improving effect was the fastest I experienced when first introducing Retinol, and this product has been the most effective for my pores as well. It's not a very moisturizing product, but it doesn't sit on the surface of the skin either - it just adheres nicely without any stickiness at all! At around 20,000 won for 30ml, this Retinol-rich product is very reasonably priced in my opinion.
ConsThe downside is having to order it from overseas, and needing to stock up in advance 🥹 And the presence of fragrance is a bit disappointing ㅠ
TipRetinol gets more effective the more you use it! You must fully absorb it before moving to the next step! I recommend just lightly applying a moisturizer afterwards. Use it only for your nighttime routine!!! I wouldn't recommend this for beginners❗️

I've been using it to calm down my acne and lighten my scars, and the effects have been really good.
ConsEven though it contains 2.5% retinol and my skin doesn't feel irritated, that doesn't mean my skin isn't being stressed, so adjusting the amount and frequency of application is essential!
TipIt can be purchased on iHerb, and it's recommended to store it wrapped in aluminum foil in a cool place.

ConsEven though it's strong, you can't apply it frequently, so you have to be careful when applying it.

I recommend starting with just a tiny amount, about the size of a fingernail. I personally don't use it on its own very often...
ConsFor those sensitive to irritation, I'd recommend just using a lower concentration product instead, so you can feel more comfortable.
