Retinol 0.5 Oil

COSRX Retinol 0.5 Oil is a potent anti-aging serum formulated with 0.5% pure, stabilized retinol, designed for those experienced with retinol and seeking a stronger solution to address signs of aging. This oil deeply nourishes the skin, providing a radiant, youthful glow. Ideal for users facing more advanced signs of aging such as deep wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity, the serum works to improve skin firmness, smooth out rough texture, and even out skin tone. It also helps minimize the appearance of pores and addresses dryness, leaving the skin looking more youthful and refreshed. The silky-smooth oil texture absorbs effortlessly into the skin, making it perfect for a special night time skincare routine. The slightly yellow tint of the oil is a natural result of the retinol ingredient, further emphasizing its concentrated formulation aimed at delivering effective anti-aging care.  

• How to use
  • Start slowly and build up gradually!
  • During your evening skincare routine, apply 1 to 2 drops of the oil to your hand and gently tap it onto the skin with your fingertips, working from the inside of the face outward. Begin by using it three times a week, and as your skin adjusts, gradually increase to every other night as tolerated.
  • *Introduce retinol with an adjustment phase
  • Week 1-2:
  • Use the product 2-3 times a week at night. After cleansing and during the treatment step, apply 1-2 drops to targeted areas like under the eyes, around the mouth, forehead, and neck.
  • *Personalize your routine by mixing it with a moisturizer for a gentler application.
  • Week 3 and beyond:
  • Once your skin adapts, you can use the product every other night. After cleansing, apply it during the treatment step, spreading it across the entire face.
  • *Adjust the frequency based on your skin’s tolerance. You may shorten or extend this adjustment phase depending on your individual skin response. Continue this routine until your skin fully tolerates the product without discomfort, and then gradually increase the application frequency and expand the areas where you apply the product.
