Product Description
Suitable for retinol beginners, Heimish Marine Care Retinol For Face Serum contains low retinol content (0.01%) for mild retinol care. Retinol fades wrinkles, increases skin elasticity and improves the appearance of pores. The serum is also enriched with 5% niacinamide to brighten skin. It’s formulated with 58% marine water and fermented seaweed extract for moisturizing effects.
I received Heimish Marine Care Retinol For Face Serum from one of Stylekorean birthday boxes and has been using it for twice a week at night.
My recent Heimish empties were Heimish Matcha Biome Hydrogel Eye Patch, Heimish Matcha Biome Redness Relief Hydrating Toner and Heimish Marine Care Eye Cream.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Heimish Marine Care Retinol For Face Serum comes in a 50ml pump dispenser container with a lovely shimmery green colour. The yellow texture looks heavy in consistency and vaguely reminded me of By Wishtrend Vitamin A-mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream. I didn't detect any fragrance.
How To Use :
1) After toning, apply a grain-sized amount on the concerned areas with wrinkles.
2) Depending on your skin condition, apply a pea-sized amount on your entire face.
3) If applied in the morning, apply sufficient sunscreen afterwards.
Performance and Ingredients
Said to be a gentle product with retinol content suitable for beginners, and is suitable for day and night use, it is marketed as a watery finishing with no greasiness and no stickiness, however I found this product to be heavy and greasy yet slightly drying on my combination skin in humid weather. A hydrating moisturizer is highly recommended.
I didn't experience irritation but haven't use this enough to notice any difference on the face. I prefer to use this at night due to the retinol. And because of the greasiness and heaviness yet drying effects, I don't reach out for this product as often as I should, but instead, I use it for the decollete area to improve elasticity.
The key ingredients are....
Miracle Marine Water 58% : fermented seaweed extract which increase hydration to plump the skin and minimize dryness
Niacinamide 5% : intensive brightening care for skin as it reduces the amount of pigment in the skin by decreasing melanin production
Retinol 0.01% : visibly improving the appearance of wrinkles and enlarged pores

Conclusion
To conclude, Heimish Marine Care Retinol For Face Serum isn't the perfect fit for my combination skin in humid weather as it felt heavy and looked greasy on my face yet drying so I prefer to use it on the decollete area for elasticity.
Some of the retinol products that I have tried were Somethinc 1% Pure Retinol + Squalane, Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 10 and Allies of Skin Retinal & Peptides Repair Night Cream.
