Product Description (Overview)
The COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil is a potent anti-aging facial oil formulated with 0.5% pure retinol, designed to boost cell turnover, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Suspended in nourishing oils and emollients, this oil deeply hydrates and nourishes skin while delivering the benefits of retinol — helping skin feel firmer, smoother, and more youthful over time. It’s ideal for those already accustomed to retinol and looking for a stronger, yet skin-cushioning, treatment.
Key Features
0.5% Pure Retinol — high-concentration retinol promotes collagen production, improves elasticity, reduces fine lines and boosts skin regeneration.
Deep nourishment & barrier support — contains emollients like squalane and soybean oil to moisturize, soften skin, and help prevent dryness or irritation.
Vitamin E & antioxidants — tocopherol / tocotrienols help protect skin from oxidative stress and support overall skin health.
Oil-based formula for reduced irritation — the oil buffer helps cushion retinol’s potency, making it more tolerable especially for dry or mature skin.
Smooth, silky finish — leaves skin nourished, supple and smoother without heavy greasiness.
How to Use
Use at night only — after cleansing and toning, apply 1–2 drops to dry face.
Gently massage or pat the oil into skin, from center outward, focusing on areas with fine lines or uneven texture.
Start slowly: use 1–3 times per week initially. Gradually increase frequency (e.g. every other night) as skin builds tolerance.
Follow with moisturizer if needed.
Always wear sunscreen during the day — retinol can increase skin’s sensitivity to UV.
