Treatment Cream

COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream is a lightweight anti-aging treatment cream containing 0.1% pure retinol.

Thanks to its gentle formulation, this cream is ideal for retinol beginners, sensitive skin, and even for use around the delicate eye area. It helps reduce signs of aging, firm, renew, smooth, and brighten the skin. It also helps fade acne scars and regulate excess sebum production.

What is Retinol and What Does It Do?

Retinol is one of the most effective and well-researched ingredients used in skincare for treating fine lines and signs of aging. It belongs to the retinoid family, which are derivatives of vitamin A. Retinoids are used both in cosmetic and medical treatments for a wide variety of skin concerns.

• Speeds up skin cell turnover, helping the skin renew itself faster. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture, and can even reverse sun damage such as pigmentation spots.

• Reduces sebum production, which helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts.

• Stimulates collagen production and inhibits enzymes that break down collagen, making skin stronger, thicker, and more elastic.

• Acts as an antioxidant, protecting the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

• When used correctly, retinol can improve the skin barrier and reduce dryness by increasing the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid levels.

Other Active Ingredients

• Panthenol & Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrate the skin and help reduce signs of dryness.

• Adenosine: A powerful anti-aging ingredient that improves skin elasticity.

• Allantoin: Soothes and calms the skin.

• Tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E): Brightens the complexion and reduces visible signs of aging.

How to Use

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin after cleansing, or as the last step of your skincare routine over your moisturizer (wait for it to absorb first).

⚠️ Note: Retinol oxidizes and loses its effectiveness quickly. It is recommended to store this product in the refrigerator.
