A highly concentrated 0.5% pure retinol that builds up tight skin elasticity + a healthy glow to your skin!

No purified water or retinol derivatives. COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil is formulated using 0.5% stabilised, pure retinol for powerful anti-aging care. Best for skin accustomed to retinol but still experiencing progressive signs of aging such as loss of elasticity and dryness. For intermediate-level retinol users looking for a highly concentrated, youth booster.

Formulated with:

• Pure retinol (Vitamin A) that accelerates collagen production and skin turnover to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, 
• Plant-derived squalane moisturises and protects the skin from external irritation, and 
• Tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E) helps reduce visible signs of aging and skin damage.

This serum targets initial and progressive signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, loss of skin elasticity and moisture, dullness, and acne and breakouts.
