Is this a good first retinol for sensitive skin?

It is formulated with 0.015% retinol and Innisfree positions it for all skin types, including sensitive skin. That does not make a reaction impossible. Patch test first, apply one pump rather than a thick layer, and introduce it when your skin already feels settled. If your barrier feels raw, persistently tight, or recently over-exfoliated, wait until comfort returns before adding a retinol step.

Can I use it with AHA, BHA, scrubs, or vitamin C?

Innisfree advises keeping exfoliating acids, scrubs, and vitamin C products out of the same routine to reduce the chance of irritation. Use them at a different time of day or on separate days, and add only one new active at a time. The published formula already includes salicylic acid, so there is no need to stack another exfoliating step just to make it feel stronger.

Where does the ampoule go in my routine?

Apply it after cleansing and toner, then follow with moisturizer. One or two pumps is enough for the face and neck; avoid direct eye contact and do not rub aggressively. If you prefer a buffered approach, a light hydrating layer can go underneath and a plain cream can go on top. In the morning, finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or higher.

Why are two different 50ml bottles shown?

The gallery shows rounded and rectangular packaging used for the same 50ml Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule name. Innisfree has refreshed the bottle and market presentation over time. The ingredient list on this page is the current 35-item formula published for this exact product by Innisfree Australia. If the bottle you receive looks different, compare the printed ingredient list before use if you avoid a specific ingredient.

Can I use this retinol during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Innisfree Taiwan advises avoiding retinol and other vitamin A derivatives during pregnancy or while trying to conceive. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, do not start this product without guidance from your healthcare professional. A retinol-free routine can still focus on hydration, sunscreen, and gentle care while you wait for advice that fits your circumstances.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Innisfree Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule is a lightweight, watery serum for routines focused on visible texture, clogged-looking pores, excess shine, and post-blemish marks. The 0.015% retinol formula absorbs quickly and fits before moisturizer as the serum step.

Retinol is paired with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, Ceramide NP, and three defined Centella-related components: asiaticoside, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid. This blend brings resurfacing care together with hydration and barrier-supporting lipids, so the finish feels more comfortable than a bare retinol layer.

It is especially useful for retinol beginners and combination, oily, or blemish-prone skin that wants a smoother, more even-looking finish without a heavy cream. Innisfree's four-week product testing found improvements across pore appearance, sebum, blackheads, whiteheads, and visible blemish marks; the full figures are listed below.

Start with a small amount and build frequency only while skin stays comfortable. Keep exfoliating acids, scrubs, strong vitamin C products, LED masks, and massage devices for a different routine, then finish daytime use with SPF 30 or higher. Packaging may vary between the rounded and rectangular 50ml bottles shown in the gallery.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I use Innisfree Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule?

Innisfree positions this low-strength formula for regular use, but a slower start is kinder if retinol is new to you. Begin with a small amount at night and increase only while your skin remains comfortable. Dryness, stinging, or visible peeling are signs to use it less often or pause. Keep the rest of the routine simple and moisturising while you learn your preferred frequency.
