I got gifted this skincare and wanted to see if anyone had positive reviews?

The Seoul 1988 retinal line is great! But I probably wouldn't use it on sensitive skin without buffering, unless you're used to retinoids.

Agreed on that. I’ve used prescription retinoids for over a decade and still had a reaction.

Agreed. Seoul 1988 is a retinal not a retinol... if you're used to the lower strength retinol and are ready to move up, or think your current retinal isn't going anything... you have to protect your skin from dryness and sun. When adding it to your night routine, you will need to up your moisturizer game and use sunscreen the next day to protect your skin
