innisfree Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule: Retinol Paired With Cica for Tolerance Support
innisfree's Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule is the brand's entry into retinol skincare, designed specifically to reduce the irritation often associated with retinol introduction. The formula pairs a buffered retinol concentration with centella asiatica (cica) extract and ceramides, making it more tolerable for sensitive or retinol-naive skin than pure retinol serums.
This is a starter retinol done thoughtfully. Most first-time retinol users either over-apply a cheap high-strength product and get irritation (leading them to quit) or under-apply a timid product and see no results. innisfree's approach: moderate retinol dose, meaningful cica buffer, formulated to be used daily without the typical 3-times-per-week introduction protocol.
What It Does
Retinol (vitamin A derivative) stimulates cell turnover, builds collagen over time, and fades pigmentation. The mechanism is well-established across decades of dermatology research. Cica (centella) calms the common retinol-associated irritation. Ceramides rebuild any barrier disruption. Over 8 to 12 weeks, skin texture, firmness, and tone improve with visible results.
Who It's For
- Retinol first-timers: Gentler introduction.
- Sensitive-skin aging concerns: Tolerance support.
- Prevention-age users (late 20s to 30s): Primary demographic.
- Post-retinol-damage users: Rebuilds with cica alongside retinol action.
- K-beauty routine builders: Anti-aging without harshness.

How to Use

FAQ
How strong is the retinol?
innisfree doesn't publish exact percentage. Based on texture and tolerance profile, estimated as low to moderate strength, comparable to 0.1 to 0.3% retinol in effect.
Will I purge?
Possibly. Retinol can cause initial breakouts in the first 4 to 6 weeks. This is acne coming out, not caused by the retinol. Push through with consistent use.
Pregnancy-safe?
No. Retinol and retinoids are contraindicated in pregnancy. Stop use during pregnancy and nursing.
Can I layer with acids?
Not initially. Alternate nights during tolerance building. Advanced users can eventually combine, but start conservative.
How long does 80ml last?
4 to 6 months with nightly use.
