innisfree Retinol Cica Serum with Salicylic Acid | Korean Moisture Recovery Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid for Hydrating Face Care | Suitable for Beginners and Acne-Prone Skin

I’m 36 and I’m starting to see some fine lines on my forehead and neck. I wanted to start incorporating a retinol into my routine, but didn’t necessarily want to go full blast into a high concentration as it can cause your skin to react and peel. With the cica inclusion (my face is prone to redness) and the salicylic acid also in this product, I was interested in trying it out! I had heard it was very gentle and especially great for first time retinol users. It’s been fantastic! It hasn’t caused a negative reaction on my skin and is good for a nightly use (although I use it every other night). I use Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream as my ending moisturizer once this has dried down on my face and it’s such a good combo - I’ve been using it for about two weeks and I definitely see a difference for my fine lines and less breakouts! I only use about one pump for my face and another for my neck. It also helps tone down the patchy redness on my cheeks. I use these guidelines for my own retinol use: - I make sure if I’m going outside I’m using sunscreen (not just relying on makeup sunscreen, ACTUAL sunscreen) - Following that, only use at night! - Make sure you’re looking at the products you’re using already in your routine as retinol may not mix well with some ingredients - Ensure this product is drying down on your skin before finishing with a moisturizer - As with any product, patch test on your skin before incorporating into your routine! I love this brand and very excited to keep this product in rotation! If you want to give retinol a try but aren’t necessarily ready to give a full jump in, I would highly suggest giving this a try.

This has been a repeat buy for me in terms of skincare. It seems to soften the surface of my skin and diminishes any discoloration I have. It is gentle and doesn’t cause my face to breakout which is such a plus because I can have reactive skin. This brand in general has wonderful products that I believe to be effective and conveniently priced!

This brand is always high quality. It doesn’t really have a scent which I love for my sensitive skin. Retinol products usually leave a burning sensation but not this brand. It does what the serum says it should. Worth the money!

Pretty good. Didn’t notice significant improvement. I used it pretty fast. Little pricy probably cheaper on olive young global.

I was really in a rut with my skin. I was trying several different products, some Sunday Riley, some Paula’s Choice, etc. Nothing was really Working and my skin was dull and lacklustre and nothing was moisturising enough. This stuff is SO good. I noticed a difference in one week. I use it Morning and night. I have very sensitive skin but this has not made my skin burn or anything. It has no scent. It penetrates deep into the skin so has really worked in brightening, tightening and moisturising my skin. I’ve been using it now for 4 weeks and it’s still working great. I would recommend and now I want to try their other products.

I have a very sensitive skin and have tried other retinol before but always had allergies reaction. With this one I can use it day and night without having any problems. Amazingly surprised! This is what I’m look for this whole life. It makes my skin silky soft and smooth in less than a week and I’m also using it with their green tea set as well. I have heard amazing things about retinol but my sensitive skin doesn’t like any of them until I found this one. I’m so very very happy!

Works good

This serum does a great job hydrating skin and after a couple weeks, I could definitely see a difference in my lines/wrinkles--they didn't disappear but are much less noticeable. The serum is very light and absorbs well so you don't have a heavy feel on your skin. Really the only negative is that I have super sensitive skin with rosacea and this did cause my skin to redden a little. Instead of applying it twice daily, I just apply it at night and have no more problems with redness.

I’ve tried many retinol serums, but this is by far one of the most gentle yet effective ones I’ve used. As someone with sensitive skin, I was hesitant to incorporate retinol into my routine, but this formula, infused with Cica soothes and calms irritation while delivering real results. After a few weeks of consistent use, I noticed smoother skin texture, reduced redness, and fewer breakouts. It absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, and the lightweight texture layers beautifully under moisturizer. Unlike other retinol products that can be drying, this one keeps my skin hydrated and comfortable. If you’re looking for a beginner-friendly retinol that won’t compromise your skin barrier, I highly recommend giving this a try!

I like innisfree, this is very good priduct!

It's nice and very gentle. Good for beginners.

Love this cleanser. Gentle on sensitive skin.

I like being able to use this during the day because it's so gentle, but retinol is not strong enough.
