The Powerhouse Retinol for Experienced Users

When standard retinol formulas stop showing progress, it’s time to upgrade. COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil features an intermediate-strength concentration of 0.5% pure, stabilized retinol.

Unlike traditional drying serums, COSRX suspends this active ingredient in a luxurious, lightweight oil base. This allows the formula to penetrate deeply to rebuild skin elasticity and bounce while keeping your moisture barrier incredibly plush, smooth, and radiant.

Clinically Proven Visible Results (In Just 4 Weeks!)

In clinical trials, users experienced a dramatic reduction in the appearance of aging:

• -22.02% reduction in forehead wrinkles

• -18.40% reduction in nasolabial folds (smile lines)

• -17.68% reduction in fine lines around the eyes

Active Power Ingredients

• 0.5% Pure Retinol: Accelerates collagen production and skin cell turnover to smooth deep wrinkles and firm sagging skin.

• Plant-Derived Squalane: Mimics the skin’s natural oils to hydrate, soothe redness, and protect your barrier deeply.

• Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol): Up to 50 times more potent than regular Vitamin E, this antioxidant shields the skin from environmental damage and fights early signs of aging.

How to Use (The Tolerance Builder)

Because this formula is highly active, it is essential to ease it into your routine:

1. Step 1: At night, after cleansing and applying your favorite hydrating serum, pat 1 to 2 drops onto clean, dry skin.

2. Step 2: Gently massage across the face, avoiding the immediate eye and lip areas. Follow with a rich moisturizer.

3. The Frequency Guide:

   • Weeks 1–3: Use only 2 to 3 nights a week to allow your skin to adapt.

   • Week 4+: If no irritation occurs, gradually increase usage to every night.

⚠️ Important Retinol Rules:

• Always wear SPF 30+ during the day, as retinol makes your skin extra sensitive to the sun.

• Store in the refrigerator after opening to preserve the potency of the pure retinol, and use within 3 months.

• Perform a patch test before your first facial application.
