IOPE Expert Retinol RX 1% Super Bounce Serum - Gentle Anti-Aging Face Serum for Beginners - Visibly Firms Skin, Refines Pores, and Smooths Wrinkles

This is my go to retinol. It's so gentle yet so powerful. I constantly get compliments on my skin after maybe 3-4 months of using it. It's gentle enough to use on my neck, and so moisturizing that I don't need to put a moisturizer over it. It absorbs instantly and doesn't leave behind a greasy film. I love that the retinol is encapsulated and the packaging is very sturdy. IOPE is worth every dime.

I am such a huge fan of this serum. I first heard about it on TikTok which I was looking for a decent retinol serum, and was immediately convinced to try it because of the Amore Pacific connection and the amount of research and care that seems to go into all their product lines. So - flash forward 6 months and I am on my third bottle of this! It's really a great, easy to use retinol - non-irritating and it absolutely works. My skin is much more uniform and smooth and there has been ZERO irritation. The packaging is gorgeous, the price point is spot on, and there is no smell or irritation. Very easy to layer on with additional products - and I am now using the rest of the STEM line with this (they have a great cream, a spectacular serum, and some toner products I want to try). A great K-Beauty find and a product that doesn't get anywhere near as much press and love as it should.

This is the only retinol my skin tolerates. It's exactly how it's described - my skin in the morning seems bouncier and softer. I've tried a countless number of retinols over the years but my sensitive skin gets incredibly angry and dry...it never gets past this period everyone says is temporary. I stock up on this and is a great buy.

Great product good price point. I returned to retina due to strength

poor quality in the hydrogel itself. rips easily. not worth price

I’ve been using this retinol serum for a few weeks, and I really like the texture. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky. It layers well under my moisturizer and doesn’t irritate my skin. The only downside is that it’s a bit expensive, but the quality seems worth it.

IOPE retinol is actually known to be the best retinol product in Korea. I used this for few months and actually I am in love with this! Definitely dont use it on a daily basis and only apply at night. Depending on my skin condition, I apply this 2~3times a week before sleep

It's gentle to use, so it's suitable even for sensitive skin that has difficulty adapting to retinol, and I've been using it for a week and my skin seems to be getting clearer.
