COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream - ( DX028180 )

Smooth fine lines and refine coarse skin texture with the targeted precision of COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream. Specially engineered for first-time retinoid users and individuals experiencing early signs of skin aging, this irritation-minimized treatment cream accelerates skin cell renewal without causing severe dryness or barrier distress. By blending pure Vitamin A with barrier-supporting lipids and soothing agents, it delivers visible elasticity improvements and texture refinement directly to vulnerable facial contours.

Stabilized Pure Retinol Matrix

At the foundation of this targeted cream is a pure 0.1% Retinol dosage calibrated for optimal skin tolerance. Retinol works at the cellular level by encouraging old, dull epidermal cells to shed and making way for new, healthy skin cells. To safeguard its structural potency against environmental degrading factors, the formula is sealed inside a specialized, protective aluminum container.

Soothing Moisture Shielding & Barrier Defense

To counteract the micro-peeling and tightness often associated with Vitamin A application, this formulation integrates Panthenol, Shea Butter, and Tocotrienol. Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol) delivers up to 50 times greater antioxidant defense than standard Tocopherol, neutralizing free radical damage while Panthenol and botanical oils replenish moisture reserves. This balance allows active texture refinement to take place while preserving full skin comfort.

Pore & Structural Elasticity Refinement

Beyond smoothing superficial dehydration lines, the synergistic pairing of Adenosine and Soybean Oil supports internal collagen networks. Regular evening use helps tighten slackened pores, balance excess oil secretion, and even out irregular pigmentation over time, revealing a firmer, clearer, and more youthful complexion.

Skin Type: Suitable for dry, normal, combination, oily, and early-aging skin profiles. Ideal for retinoid beginners. Sensitive skin types should introduce slowly with a strict patch test.

Concerns Solved: Early fine lines, initial sagging/loss of firmness, rough or uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and clogged pores (blackheads/whiteheads).

Texture: A rich, elastic, non-sticky cream that spreads smoothly over skin contours and absorbs without leaving a greasy finish.

Usage Time: Evening (PM) routine use only.

Compatible Routines: Pairs well with hydrating toners, hyaluronic acid serums, and soothing, barrier-repairing moisturizers.

Who Should Avoid It

• Pregnancy & Nursing: Avoid using Vitamin A derivatives (Retinol) during pregnancy or lactation without direct medical clearance.

• Concurrent Strong Actives: Do not combine in the same routine with high-concentration AHAs, BHAs, PHAs, Benzoyl Peroxide, or strong Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) derivatives to prevent acute barrier damage.
