Description
Retinol is becoming more common in the skincare community, but what is it exactly? Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A that basically tells your skin cells to be act youthful — like producing more collagen and accelerating cellular turnover. However, retinol may be irritating to some, since it is quite a powerful ingredient. That’s why formulation is important.
The Cosrx The Retinol 0.1 Cream was formulated with an optimal ratio of its key ingredients to prevent irritation — 0.1% retinol to decrease wrinkles and fine lines, panthenol to protect and moisturize the skin, adenosine to improve elasticity, and tocotrienol to reduce visible signs of aging and damage. This makes it a good choice if you’re just introducing retinol to your routine.
Size: 20 ml
To use: Apply a pea-sized amount of product evenly over the face, neck, and onto parts with wrinkle concerns in the evening. Use moisturizer after. Limit initial use of retinol to three times per week, and gradually increase frequency.
