A gentle, beginnerfriendly retinol cream with 0.1% pure retinol that helps smooth fine lines, improve texture, and boost elasticity while minimizing irritation — ideal for firsttime retinol users and early antiaging care. 

Description:

COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream is an antiaging treatment featuring 0.1% pure retinol (Vitamin A) in a creamy, elastic texture that spreads easily and absorbs comfortably into the skin. It targets early signs of aging such as fine wrinkles, rough texture, uneven tone, loss of elasticity, and enlarged pores. Panthenol (provitamin B5) helps moisturize and protect the skin from external irritation, while adenosine and tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E) support elasticity and antioxidant protection. Designed especially for retinol beginners, this cream delivers noticeable improvements without being overly harsh on skin.

How to use:

1. Use at night only after cleansing, toning, and serum/essence.
2. Start with a small amount (pea-sized) — apply to face, neck, and wrinkleconcern areas.
3. Begin slowly: 2–3 times per week, gradually increasing to every other night or nightly as tolerated.
4. During an adaptation period (first 1–3 weeks), limit frequency and monitor skin response.
5. Always wear sunscreen during the day — retinol increases sun sensitivity.
6. Avoid using with Vitamin C, strong exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs), or benzoyl peroxide simultaneously to reduce irritation.
