This is recommended not only for those in their 30s and older, but also as a first anti-aging skincare (*4) for those in their 20s, as well as for those trying retinol for the first time.

First Impressions: Texture and How to Use the Products♡

MISSHA Time Revolution Retinol 500 Shot Serum

When you first open the bottle, you mix the yellow retinol (*1) with the transparent aura (*4) fermented essence, creating a slightly unique serum.

For application, blend it into your face both morning and night, paying extra attention to areas with noticeable pores or lack of firmness.

For daytime, 1 pump is recommended, while for nighttime use, 2-3 pumps can be used for deeper care.

MISSHA Time Revolution Retinol 500 Shot Intensive Cream

The cream has a slightly firm texture, enough to hold its shape when squeezed from the tube. It can be used not only on your face but also on your neck and hands, areas prone to sagging.

For your skincare routine, apply a pearl-sized to cherry-sized amount after your toner and serum, morning and night!

MISSHA Time Revolution Retinol 4000 Shot Intensive Cream

This soft, slightly lemon-colored cream serum is perfect for nighttime use.

After applying your toner and serum, use it on areas of concern such as around your eyes, cheeks, and mouth. Finish by pressing it into your skin with your hands to help it absorb.

Apply a small amount, roughly the size of an adzuki bean, depending on your skin’s condition.
It blends well into sensitive areas with thin skin.

Real Review: 2 Weeks of Use

After trying the products, I found them all lightweight and easy to use, with no heavy feeling, and the retinol scent was mild and pleasant.

Also, the lightweight packaging made them easy to carry during travel!

My Favorite Item to Repurchase!

The multi-use cream (MISSHA Time Revolution Retinol 500 Shot Cream) can be used not only on your face but also on your neck and hands, making it perfect for those looking for affordable anti-aging care!

It's great for neck care and would make an excellent gift for beauty lovers or even for your mother!

*This is a personal review.
