COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream

COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream offers a gentle introduction to retinol, ideal for first-time users or those beginning to notice early signs of aging—fine lines, loss of elasticity, rough texture, or stubborn pores.

The 0.1% pure retinol works beneath the surface to enhance collagen production and cell turnover, helping smooth skin texture and reduce fine lines.

To help soothe and protect during the adjustment phase, the formula includes hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients like panthenol, super vitamin E (tocotrienols), adenosine, and all-round hydrators such as glycerin and various forms of hyaluronic acid.

Its soft, elastic cream texture glides on comfortably—enough richness for night use, yet light enough to layer under your standard night cream if needed.

To begin, start slowly—apply a pea-sized amount in the evening after serum as the final step in your skincare routine.

It’s wise to begin with every other night or just a few times per week while your skin adjusts, then increase to nightly use as tolerated.

Always follow with sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity. Store the cream in a cool place or refrigerator to preserve its stability and reduce oxidation.

If irritation—such as redness or peeling—occurs, simply reduce frequency or take a short break before resuming.

Over time, consistent use can result in smoother texture, improved tone, refined pores, and a subtly rejuvenated appearance
