COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil

Are you a regular retinol user but want to start with its highest and most concentrated percentage, free from water content and other retinol derivatives? Do you also have dry skin and aim to prevent it from becoming more dehydrated after use? All of these needs are addressed by COSRX's newly launched oil serum: The Retinol 0.5 Oil! This serum is formulated with 0.5% pure retinol (Vitamin A) and is absorbed instantly by the skin, leaving it feeling as soft as silk. This oil helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and advanced wrinkles. It enhances collagen production, boosts skin elasticity, provides radiance, nourishes, and deeply hydrates the skin! Additionally, it targets acne-prone skin and post-acne scars. Plant-derived squalene, a powerful antioxidant, fights against skin damage caused by free radicals that accelerate aging. Recent studies indicate that squalene has detoxifying properties and its use strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier. Meanwhile, the formula containing tocotrienol (a highly concentrated form of Vitamin E) serves as a strong antioxidant, protecting the skin from external aggressors and free radicals. This product addresses skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, age spots, wrinkles, acne, and enlarged pores.

The formula is hypoallergenic, vegan, dermatologist-tested, and free from harmful or irritating ingredients like alcohol, parabens, silicones, sulfates, or artificial fragrances.

Usage

Start using it SLOWLY and in SMALL AMOUNTS!

We recommend introducing this product gradually, allowing your skin to adapt and avoiding any potential irritation. Always use it in the evening by applying 1-2 drops. Start with a frequency of three times a week, and you can gradually increase it to every other night, being careful to monitor your skin's reaction.

Weeks 1-2

In the evening, after cleansing your skin with a cleanser and applying your toner, essence and/or serum, and moisturizer, apply 1-2 drops to the most problematic areas, such as under the eyes, around the mouth, forehead, and neck.
Use it 2-3 times a week in the evening.

Weeks 3 and onward

Every evening, after cleansing your skin with a cleanser and applying your toner, essence and/or serum, and moisturizer, apply it to your entire face. Use it every other day.

*The "tolerance-building" phase can be adjusted individually based on how each person's skin responds.

*The frequency of use should gradually increase, as well as the areas where you will apply it.

Brand

COSRX has been our go-to choice and undeniably deserves a place in the Koral Secrets family. Its name is derived from the fusion of the word “cosmetics” and the letters “RX,” symbolizing a prescription from doctors. The brand gained recognition in South Korea and subsequently worldwide, primarily through social media posts, blog articles, and discussions within close social circles, rather than through costly marketing campaigns. COSRX believes that investments should be allocated to scientific research that leads to innovative formulations, rather than promoting products. Its offerings are recognized for their clean ingredients, featuring minimal components that are highly effective in addressing various skin concerns. COSRX has cultivated a substantial consumer community through continuous communication, creating products that meet their needs and desires. Their packaging is simple and minimalist, reflecting the overall philosophy of COSRX.
