Retinol 0.1% Cream, Anti-aging Eye & Neck Cream with Retinoid Treatment to Firm Skin, Reduce Wrinkles, Skin Tightening Cream for Fine Lines & Firmness, Gentle Daily Korean Skin Care, 0.67 fl oz

After using CeraVe resurfacing serum as my retinol for three years, I ran out and had a sample of this COSRX retinol 0.1% cream on hand. I decided to go ahead and use it since I was out of my normal stuff anyways… and boy am I glad that I made the switch. I’m very grateful for the many years I had with my old product, but this product is on a different level! After my tube was completely of the sample size I immediately went and bought the full-size. The texture is great and is super lightweight. It almost feels like a lotion, I don’t really like oily products in this product does not be like that at all. It has a good consistency. I have absolutely no complaints. I am in love with this company. Almost everything that I use is by them except for a few items. I am 32 years old and I have combination dry to oily skin. I also have eczema and have been having hormonal breakouts for the first time in my life as an adult! My skin care routine is my favorite thing in the morning and the night so when I put on my skin is very important to me and I do tons of research before even consider considering a product.. especially considering all of the factors that I have to deal with when it comes to my skin type. My skin barrier is finally balanced and my breakouts happen very seldomly. I haven’t even had eczema breakout in over a year now. That has not to do only with this product but with many of COSRX products. Thank you so much COSRX for creating another rockstar product !!!

I really like this product since tretenoin was too harsh for my skin. I only use as needed probably less than once a week. but i especially like to use it when i notice my skin becoming congested/break out starting and during the winter since we’re not in the sun as often so it’s safer. Literally by the next morning, it seems to stop breakout in its tracks. I see some reviews had some bad eye reactions and I just want to say be careful with using retinol in the under eye area. You “can” but you probably want to avoid it, the under eye skin area is very delicate and much thinner than the rest of our face. In fact you will find most retinol products telling you to avoid the eye area on the package…unless it’s sold as an eye cream. Just a tip! And if you’re peeling a lot from this, you’re probably using it too often and or not moisturizing enough. Like I said I only use this once every other week, which is to avoid irritation/peeling. Also, I noticed the info says you can use this in the day with spf, which is surprising because dermatologists would tell you to only use retinol before bed at night. This is because it is both safer (retinol makes your skin sensitive to uv rays) and just convenient (your skin “heals” overnight, working alongside the retinol). Also, not to invalidate some of the ladies who shared their photos of their reactions but if you have very smooth skin, hardly visible pores with no signs whatsoever of aging and you’re not prone to breakouts, you really don’t need to use retinol and probably shouldn’t because it can damage the skin barrier with long term use or if you don’t moisturize enough, so ladies who CAN benefit from retinol are using it because the reward of that is greater than the risk of the skin barrier issue…no offense but I do think people should read about these “heavier” chemical skincare treatments before just buying… But luckily this product is a much gentler version of prescribed retinol. I really love this product in moderation. Just one use at night and the next morning I definitely notice a difference! Thanks for reading :)

Important to Note: Retinol will turn rancid if you don't store it in the fridge. If yours has a smell like onions or garlic that means it has turned rancid. It needs to be stored in the refrigerator at all times after piercing the safety seal. If you read the instruction sheet this item comes with it says to keep it refrigerated to prevent rancidity. Retinol is a good ingredient but difficult to find in a lotion like this. It's usually found in an oil like squalane which breaks my face out so bad. It's a terrible idea to apply oil to acne prone skin. This stuff is like a lotion and it's in a metal tube that keeps air and light out. Light-weight, but not moisturizing as it's not supposed to be. You'll want to put a layer of lotion on after this, like the Cosrx Ultra Hyaluronic Cream or CeraVe ceramide cream. Most importantly, this is the only retinol product I've ever found that doesn't break my face out. In fact, after just one day of using this my skin was more clear. After 3 weeks of using once daily, my skin looks a lot brighter, more youthful, and healthier, with fine lines diminished. I still have more than half the tube left too so it lasts a long time. I use it all over my face and neck, and a little goes a long way. You may not be able to jump straight to using it everyday like I did and you'd be better off with using it once every 3 days, then every 2 days, and so forth until you can work up to using it everyday. Retinol will turn rancid if you don't store it in the fridge so be sure to do that. Just don't forget it's in there, stay diligent, and commit to it and you'll see results.

my skin is very finicky. sensitive at times, oily t-zone, pores, blackheads, occasional breakouts, but an extremely dry and flaky forehead- always! this cream worked wonders at making my skin very clear and soft. my skin looked and felt noticeably different after using for a week. i used a pea sized amount every night until i used the tube up. took me about a month to go through it. the ONLY downside is the smell. i read that retinol can go rancid and that it should be stored in the fridge to avoid the off-putting “garlicky” smell. i did just that and it still smelled “off”. the smell almost had a hint of pee to it, as well. not sure if i’ll purchase again because im very sensitive to smells, but i LOVED what it did for my skin and might check out their other retinol products. if the scent isn’t an issue for you, then this would be a must buy.

I’m not joking you when I say this little thing has some might. The first time I used it I couldn’t believe how soft my skin was the next morning, baby bottom soft. I got it to take a break from prescription tretinoin during the summer, give my skin a summer break;) because my skin gets a little more sensitive and dry when I use tretinoin for a prolonged period of time and though this is not as strong as tretinoin, it’s very moisturizing and lightly exfoliating my skin without the dryness and patchiness. I love, love, love it but I hate the smell. The only way I can describe it as it smells like onions to me. It has that kind of pungent smell, first time I used it I thought it’s gone bad but I tell that the benefits outweigh the smell. Totally worth it. I bought a second one as I’m almost done with the first and it’s dropped in price by $7 so I’m happy about that. Some people mentioned that it’s very small but I only use a pea size and it lasts me over a month if used everyday which is pretty good deal to me. I highly recommend for anyone with sensitive skin and as a great substitute for tretinoin or just a substitute for when your skin needs a little break from harsh retinoids. Btw, I keep mine in the fridge to preserve the potency.

This stuff STINKS!!! I only used it twice. I’m not sure I can continue to use it since I can’t tolerate the scent. It takes awhile to fade. I’m looking into trying another product before or after this with a different and stronger scent in hopes that it will I’ll help cover it up. I will update my review in the future if I figure something out. I really wanted to like this product since I literally bought half the facial cosmetic line from this company. So far all the different the snail recreation products are top notch. Still have a lot of other products of theirs that I just bought to try in combination with the snail stuff. So I’m hoping the other products do not smell like this stuff!

excelente

I’m a big fan of this brand and use several of their products for my daily routine. I just added this and am very happy with it so far. I have very dry mature skin and do not want my retinol cream to make my face any dryer. This is part of my nightly routine. It leaves my skin soft and the texture of my skin has improved - without the over drying

Excellent beauty product.

My favorite retinol cream, help to reduce the dark spots on my face and neck. Highly recommend for smoothing out fine lines as well.
