COSRX The Retinol 0.3 Cream - 20 ml

Take your anti-aging routine to the next level with COSRX The Retinol 0.3 Cream (20 ml). Specially formulated as an intermediate step-up treatment for skin already accustomed to low-strength retinol, this medium-potency cream targets more pronounced fine lines, loss of elasticity, and uneven skin texture.

Powered by 0.3% Pure Retinol, this high-performance treatment works deep within the skin to accelerate cellular renewal, boost collagen density, and visibly improve skin firmness. To prevent retinoid-induced dryness and support skin resilience, COSRX pairs pure retinol with Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol)—an advanced antioxidant that combats free-radical damage—and soothing Panthenol. Housed in a specialized air-tight aluminum tube to shield the active ingredients from light and oxygen, it leaves skin firm, smooth, and visibly youthful.

Key Features & Benefits

• Intermediate-Strength Retinol (0.3%): Ideal step-up formula for skin that has already built tolerance to starter retinol (such as 0.1%).

• Targets Fine Lines & Firmness: Accelerates skin renewal to smooth dynamic wrinkles, restore elasticity, and visibly firm facial contours.

• Potent Antioxidant Protection: Supercharged with Tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E) to shield skin against environmental stressors and support retinol performance.

• Soothes & Fortifies Moisture Barrier: Formulated with Panthenol to deliver deep hydration, reduce redness, and prevent retinoid dryness or flaking.

• Refines Texture & Unclogs Pores: Smoothes rough patches, refines enlarged pores, and enhances overall skin clarity.

• Protective Freshness Packaging: Encapsulated in a light-blocking, oxygen-shielded aluminum tube to preserve pure retinol stability and potency.

Active Key Ingredients

• 0.3% Pure Retinol: Medium-concentration Vitamin A derivative that stimulates collagen synthesis, improves skin elasticity, and reduces visible signs of aging.

• Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol): High-potency antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, repairs environmental damage, and works synergistically with retinol.

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

• Adenosine: A proven anti-aging compound that helps smooth wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.

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 during your PM (evening) routine.

4. Frequency:

   • Initial Transition: Use 2 to 3 times per week at night to ensure skin comfortable adaptation.

   • Ongoing Use: Increase frequency to every other night or nightly as tolerated by your skin.

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 hydrating moisturizer. Avoid using direct acids (AHAs/BHAs), high-potency Vitamin C, or physical exfoliants in the same evening routine.
