COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream offers a gentle start to smoother, brighter skin. This beginner-friendly formula combines 0.1% retinol with soothing ingredients like panthenol and shea butter to help improve skin texture while keeping your skin barrier happy. Perfect for those new to retinol or with sensitive skin, this cream works overnight to support natural cell renewal without the harsh side effects often linked to stronger retinol products. The lightweight, non-greasy texture sinks in easily and helps address uneven tone, rough texture, and early signs of aging while you sleep. With consistent use, your skin may look more refreshed and feel softer to touch.
Begin by using the product 3 times per week, gradually increasing to nightly application as tolerated. Apply a pea-sized amount onto the face and neck, gently patting after cleansing and serum application. Avoid using exfoliants or Vitamin C products in the same routine to minimize irritation. Store the product in the refrigerator at 3-10°C (37-50°F) to maintain retinol stability, and keep it in a dark pouch at below 25°C during travel for no more than 2 weeks. A 20ml tube typically lasts 2-3 months with consistent nightly use. For best results, incorporate into a PM routine following cleanser, toner, and essence, and apply sunscreen during the day to protect from photosensitivity. If sensitive, consider buffering with a moisturizer using the sandwich method.
