COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream - 20 ml

Smooth fine lines, restore skin elasticity, and unlock a youthful glow with COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream (20 ml). Expertly formulated for retinol beginners and sensitive skin types, this gentle, low-concentration cream offers a safe, highly effective introduction to Vitamin A anti-aging care with minimal risk of irritation.

Powered by 0.1% Pure Retinol, this nourishing facial cream accelerates cellular renewal, unclogs pores, and visibly refines rough skin texture. To protect your moisture barrier and buffer against potential retinoid dryness, COSRX pairs pure retinol with Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol)—a potent antioxidant up to 50 times more effective than standard Vitamin E—and soothing Panthenol. Housed in a specialized air-tight aluminum tube to preserve active potency, it leaves skin firm, supple, and noticeably smooth.

Key Features & Benefits

• Beginner-Friendly Retinol (0.1%): Low, effective dose ideal for first-time retinol users or those with sensitive, easily irritated skin.

• Smooths Fine Lines & Texture: Encourages cell turnover to soften initial wrinkles, refine enlarged pores, and smooth rough skin texture.

• Supercharged Antioxidant Protection: Formulated with Tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E) to neutralize damaging free radicals and boost retinol efficacy.

• Soothes & Fortifies Moisture Barrier: Packed with Panthenol to deeply hydrate, calm redness, and prevent retinoid-induced flaking or tightness.

• Boosts Skin Elasticity & Firmness: Promotes healthy collagen density for a firmer, plumper, and more youthful-looking complexion.

• Protective Freshness Packaging: Housed in a specially designed aluminum tube to block oxygen and light from degrading pure retinol.

Active Key Ingredients

• 0.1% Pure Retinol: Vitamin A derivative that stimulates skin cell regeneration, reduces early aging signs, and improves skin texture.

• Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol): High-potency antioxidant that repairs environmental damage and synergizes with retinol to firm the skin.

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5): A deeply hydrating conditioning agent that calms irritation, supports skin barrier integrity, and locks in essential moisture.

• Adenosine: A proven anti-aging compound that helps smooth fine lines and improve skin resilience.

How to Use for Best Results

1. Prep: Cleanse skin thoroughly and apply lightweight water-based serums or toners. Allow skin to dry completely.

2. Dispense: Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto your fingertips.

3. Apply: Smooth gently over targeted areas or the entire face, neck, and chest in your PM (evening) routine.

4. Build Tolerance:

   • Weeks 1–2: Use 2 to 3 times per week at night to allow skin to adapt.

   • Week 3 onwards: Increase frequency to every other night or nightly as tolerated.

5. Sun Protection: Retinol increases UV sensitivity. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) every morning while using this product.

Tip: Follow with a rich moisturizer. Avoid using direct acids (AHAs/BHAs), high-strength Vitamin C, or physical scrubs in the same evening routine.
