COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream 20ml

The entry point of the COSRX retinol line: 0.1% pure retinol in a moisturizing cream base, in an opaque 20 ml tube that keeps light off an unstable active. The cream base is what makes it tolerable for a beginner, since the same dose in an oil or a serum bites harder.

Who it's for. Retinol beginners and sensitive skin starting out. Not for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so ask your doctor.

How to use. At night only. Start two or three nights a week and increase slowly as skin tolerates it. A pea-sized amount after cleansing and toner, avoiding the eye area, then moisturizer. Broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning is mandatory with retinol.

Key active. Retinol at 0.1%, a vitamin A derivative used in cosmetics to smooth the look of fine lines and refine texture gradually.
