Retinol, cradled in oil, delivered without the sting.

COSRX solved the oldest dilemma in retinol skincare — how to deliver meaningful anti-aging results without the dryness, flaking, and irritation that make most people give up before they see progress. The answer: suspend 0.5% retinol in a nourishing oil base that cushions every molecule, slowing absorption and giving skin time to receive the retinol without reacting to it.

The texture is a dry, lightweight oil — not greasy, not heavy, and nothing like the thick, suffocating oils that make oily skin types recoil. It presses into skin and vanishes, leaving behind a soft, satin finish and the quiet assurance that something powerful is working underneath while you sleep.

Skin feels: smooth, satin-soft, and gently firmed by morning.

- Retinol (0.5%) — a proven anti-aging active that accelerates cell turnover, stimulates collagen, and visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Squalane — a lightweight, skin-identical oil that cushions the retinol delivery and prevents retinoid-induced dryness
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — stabilises retinol, extends its efficacy, and provides additional antioxidant protection

Use in your evening routine only. After cleansing and toning, dispense two to three drops onto fingertips and press gently into skin, avoiding the eye area. The oil format eliminates the need for a separate moisturiser, but one can be layered on top if desired. Start with every other night for the first two weeks, then increase to nightly use as tolerance builds. Always use SPF the following morning — retinol increases sun sensitivity.

- Those with a known allergy to retinol, squalane, vitamin E, or any listed ingredient
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals — retinoids are not recommended during pregnancy or nursing
- Skin that is broken, sunburned, or actively irritated — wait until fully healed
- Do not layer with other strong actives (AHA, BHA, vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide) on the same evening — risk of irritation
- First-time retinoid users should start slowly and monitor for redness or flaking
- Do not use on the same evening as other retinoid products to avoid over-concentration
- Patch test on the inner forearm for 24 hours before first use

- 0.5% retinol in a nourishing oil base — effective concentration with reduced irritation
