What it is
This luxurious cream contains four ingredients recommended by the ingredient manufacturer: "Pure Retinol," a beauty ingredient that directly exerts the effects of retinol; "Retinol Linoleate," which has excellent whitening effects; "Hydrogenated Retinol," which leads to moisturized and elastic skin; and "Bakuchiol," a plant-derived ingredient with retinol-like properties without irritation. * Suppresses melanin production and prevents age spots and freckles (quasi-drug).

It's small and easy to carry around, so it's convenient
It's a yellowish cream that seems to be packed with vitamins. It's odorless and has a thick texture. Although it contains retinol, I was able to use it without any particular irritation. However, I did feel like my breakouts increased, but they subsided with continued use, so that may have been due to other factors. I didn't notice any particular effects... The moisturizing effect was average. Overall, I thought it was neither good nor bad. It's fragrance-free and color-free, so I recommend it for people who are sensitive to irritation but want to try retinol.

It's smooth and easy to apply. I'm not sure how effective it is yet, so I'll try using up the whole bottle.
