COSRX - The Retinol 0.5 Super Vitamin E + Squalane Oil 20ml

COSRX’s The Retinol 0.5 Oil Super Vitamin E + Squalane is a potent, skin-rejuvenating treatment designed to smooth, firm, and visibly improve the texture of your skin while targeting signs of aging. Formulated with a blend of high-performance ingredients, this lightweight oil helps renew skin by promoting cell turnover and supporting its natural repair processes.

Key Ingredients and Benefits:

• Retinol (0.5%): A highly effective form of Vitamin A, Retinol is known for its ability to accelerate cell turnover, reduce fine lines, and enhance skin texture. At a 0.5% concentration, this formulation offers a potent yet gentle solution to improve the skin’s appearance without excessive irritation. Retinol helps to boost collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

• Vitamin E: This powerful antioxidant helps to protect the skin from environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution, while also promoting skin repair. It aids in reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, contributing to a smoother and more radiant complexion.

• Squalane: Derived from plant sources (usually olives), squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that helps to lock in moisture without clogging pores. It provides deep hydration, leaving the skin feeling soft and plump. Squalane is also known for its calming properties, making it ideal for preventing irritation or dryness that can sometimes accompany retinol use.

• Jojoba Oil: Known for its balancing and hydrating properties, jojoba oil closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum, allowing it to deeply nourish and protect the skin barrier without causing breakouts or greasy residue.

Skin Benefits:

• Improves Skin Texture: The combination of retinol and squalane works to refine rough skin texture, leaving the skin feeling smoother and more even.
• Anti-Aging: Regular use helps diminish the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, giving the skin a more youthful, radiant appearance.
• Brightening Effect: Vitamin E, alongside retinol, helps fade discoloration and pigmentation, promoting a brighter and more even-toned complexion.
• Hydration & Balance: Squalane and jojoba oil provide intense moisture, preventing the dryness and irritation often associated with retinol, making this formula suitable for those with dry or sensitive skin.

How to Use:

1. PM Routine: After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops of the oil to your face, gently massaging it in.
2. Follow with a Moisturizer: For best results, follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration and support the skin’s barrier.
3. Use Sunscreen: Because retinol increases skin sensitivity to the sun, it is important to wear sunscreen during the day, especially while using this product.
4. Gradual Introduction: If you are new to retinol, start with 2-3 times a week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin builds tolerance.

Ideal For:

• Those looking to target visible signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.
• Individuals with dry or sensitive skin who want the benefits of retinol without excessive dryness or irritation.
• Anyone seeking an all-in-one product to smooth, hydrate, and brighten their skin while tackling signs of aging.

Size:

• 20ml (0.67 oz), ideal for consistent use as part of a nightly skincare routine.
