Cosrx The Retinol 0.5 Oil, 20 ml

• During evening care, apply 1 to 2 drops to your hand and tap with fingertips from inside out. Let absorb.
• Limit initial use to three times per week: gradually increase frequency to every other night, then use as tolerated
  

• 0.5% Pure Retinol for Deep Wrinkle Care: A highly concentrated, stabilized pure retinol formula (no derivatives, no purified water) that accelerates collagen production and skin turnover to visibly reduce deep wrinkles on the forehead, nasolabial folds, and eye area.
• Restores Elasticity & Firmness: Retinol combined with plant-derived Squalane helps skin rebound and regain bounce, improving both external and internal elasticity while lifting the mouth corners and chin for a more youthful contour.
• Refines Pores & Smooths Texture: Clinically proven to reduce pore volume by 48.87% and pore area by 45.74% within 2 weeks, effectively minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores and refining rough, uneven skin texture.
• Strengthens the Skin Barrier: Infused with Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol)—which has 50 times more potent antioxidant power than pure retinol and tocopherol—and Squalane, a natural moisturizing factor, to protect the skin from external irritation and reinforce the moisture barrier.
• Silky, Nourishing Oil Base: Unlike typical retinol creams or serums, this lightweight oil glides smoothly over the skin, absorbs quickly, and provides deep nourishment without feeling heavy or greasy.

Start by using it 2–3 times per week. After your skin has adjusted, gradually increase the frequency according to your skin's tolerance.

Yes, once your skin has built sufficient tolerance. COSRX recommends gradually increasing use rather than starting with nightly application.

Q8. Can COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil help with enlarged-looking pores?
