ConsThe price range is a bit high, so the only real downside is that I'll have to use it sparingly.

The previous retinol product sometimes caused irritation, but this retinal product had no such irritation at all. It applied comfortably on my skin and was absorbed in a nice, plump way, which I really liked. Additionally, high-performance products usually tend to be irritating to the skin or feel heavy, but this cream was quite different. The application was light and refreshing, yet the moisturizing effect was sufficient, allowing me to use it daily without any burden. There was also no stickiness, so I would recommend this to those who dislike sticky products. Particularly among the many high-performance creams, I think it's rare to find one with such low irritation and a refreshing feel. This cream would be very useful not only for those with skin concerns, but also for those with sensitive skin or those who feel burdened by using high-performance products.
ConsThe price is quite expensive.. I understand, since retinol is such a high-priced ingredient...!
TipIf this is your first time using retinol, you may be concerned about irritation since it is a high-performance product. However, if you give your skin an adjustment period, you can use it much more comfortably. When first using it, mix this product with your regular cream at a 7:3 ratio and apply it to your face. This will allow your skin to adapt a little more gently, and you'll see a subtle glow when you wake up in the morning. Then, after using it for about 1-2 weeks and feeling no stinging sensation, try dispensing a small amount onto the back of your hand, rubbing it in, and then applying it to your face. This method will allow your skin to adapt more steadily, and you can maximize the effects of the retinol.

It's easy to adjust the amount and has good moisturizing power compared to retinol. The texture is really thick and oily.
ConsIt's expensive, even with a discount it's around 50,000 won, which is a bit burdensome. The oily and thick texture is stuffy for combination skin in the summer. And it's ineffective, so I applied a lot but it didn't absorb.

I'm so happy about it! I've seen great results in improving my skin troubles, so I really, really love it!
ConsThere is a lot of oiliness, and if I apply a large amount, my skin feels a bit burdened!

For example, Fortissimo has a higher retinaldehyde content than other retinaldehyde products from Dr. Different! However, they recommend starting with a small amount of retinaldehyde and gradually increasing it when first using it. But I was too eager and bought the high-concentration version from the start. Instead, I mixed a small amount with another cream to dilute(?) it and applied it that way, gradually increasing the amount. In the end, it seems to work well for me!! These days, I've been only sleeping 3-4 hours a day and living a really irregular life, but my skin hasn't been flipping out. Normally, my skin texture and acne would be acting up, but I think it's all thanks to this product!
ConsIt can be highly irritating, so it's best for those with sensitive skin to avoid using it. You shouldn't use it during the day!! It should only be used as a night care product.
TipI recommend using a very small amount and mixing it with another cream, like I did. Be sure to cleanse thoroughly in the morning after using it, and don't forget to apply sunscreen!

When you apply it 2-3 cm thick on your face, you can visibly see the difference in how your makeup applies the next day! My skin texture has improved, and it even has a subtle glow to it. When I asked my mom, she said my skin looked really good!! Even though it's only a 30g size and not a heavy-duty product, it lasts a surprisingly long time. The creamy texture has a pointed tip, making it easy to control the amount. It's great for spot-treating, and I found that a thin layer covers my whole face well with just a small amount. It has a slight oiliness, but applies smoothly without any stickiness. With a high 0.15% retinol content, it's great for anti-aging, which is why they call it a "bouncy cream." I really hope it makes my skin as bouncy as the name suggests! The downside of retinol is usually that it can only be used at night, but the Dr. Different product is stable even with exposure to time, light, and heat, so it can be used during the day too!! This is a huge advantage, as I always had to use two separate products when using retinol before, and had to be extra careful about sun protection. I'm really satisfied with that. Even though I'm not super sensitive to retinol, the high concentration doesn't cause any irritation at all, not even on days when my skin is sensitive or I've exfoliated. It's completely non-irritating! Honestly, I haven't seen dramatic wrinkle improvement yet with short-term use, but my skin condition has improved so much. I think with consistent use, it will help improve fine lines and protect my skin from sun damage. An unexpected benefit is that it's more moisturizing than I expected. I didn't have high hopes for the hydration, but even with just a small amount, my skin doesn't feel dry at all. Usually I have to slather on a lot of moisturizer, but I've been using a lot less cream since using the Vitalift A. It's a product I want to keep using even after I finish the jar. I reach for it whenever my skin needs a boost!
ConsSince it's a product that doesn't require a lot to be effective, when I try to dispense a large amount, the tube feels like it might burst! But it's not a major inconvenience at all. ㅋㅋㅋ
