[cosrx] the retinol 0.1 cream 20ml

The Science of “Low Irritation” Retinization
The COSRX Retinol 0.1 Cream solves the problem of “retinol fear.” Retinol is the most proven ingredient for collagen production, but it is notoriously unstable and irritating. COSRX utilizes a stabilized pure retinol (not a weak derivative) at a 0.1% concentration—the “sweet spot” for beginners to see results without the “peeling” or “burning” often associated with medical grade creams.

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

0.1% Pure Retinol: Stimulates collagen synthesis and speeds up cell regeneration to “fill in” wrinkles and fade dark spots from within.

Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol): Boasts up to 50 times the antioxidant power of standard Vitamin E, helping to stabilize the retinol and protect skin from oxidative stress.

Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5): Deeply hydrates and calms the skin, acting as a “buffer” to prevent the dryness that retinol can cause.

Adenosine: A functional anti aging ingredient that improves skin elasticity and smooths out “crepey” texture.

Carrot Root Extract: Rich in Beta Carotene to provide natural skin protecting nutrients.

Why Your Customers Will Love It:

The “Pore Refining” Result: Beyond aging, it is remarkably effective at shrinking the appearance of “stretched” pores and clearing out micro congestion.

Silky Texture: It has a lightweight, cream to essence consistency that absorbs instantly without a heavy or greasy feel.

Stability Guarantee: The specialized aluminum tube packaging prevents light and air from degrading the retinol, ensuring every drop is potent.

Clinical Grade Purity: Part of “The RX” line, it focuses on high efficacy, minimalist ingredients for maximum safety on sensitive skin.

How to Use (The “Slow and Steady” Rule):

Prep: After cleansing and drying your face (retinol should never be applied to damp skin), take a pea sized amount.

Apply: Gently tap onto areas of concern (under eyes, mouth corners, forehead) or spread thinly over the entire face.

Frequency: For the first 2 weeks, use only 2–3 times a week at night. Once skin adapts, you can move to every other night.

The Golden Rules: * Night Use Only: Retinol is light sensitive.

Sunscreen is Mandatory: You must wear SPF 30+ the following morning as retinol makes skin more sensitive to UV.

Avoid Mixes: Do not use with AHA/BHA or Vitamin C in the same routine.
