Product Information

Tocopherol: The pure form of Vitamin E, tocopherol is an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals and helps to protect the skin from damage. Pure retinol (Vitamin A) 0.1%: Retinol is an anti-aging powerhouse that improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, brightens skin tone, and promotes collagen production.

Have you ever thought about putting snail mucus on your face? While it may sound a little weird, this ingredient can actually be hugely beneficial to the skin. The Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is probably one of the most well known snail secretion products on the market, and for good reason. This product contains a whipping 96% snail secretion filtrate, making this one of the most concentrated formulas available. This heavy dosage of snail mucin helps to repair and hydrate the skin in a very gentle way, which is why it’s become so popular, especially in K-beauty. Snail mucin as an ingredient is most well known for its repairative properties, and because of this, has been used to treat just about any skin condition you can imagine. This includes dryness, skin sensitivity, acne, hyperpigmentation and even signs of aging. While this ingredient isn’t nearly as fast acting as actives like retinol or exfoliating acids, if you’re looking for a reparative, staple product to add to your routine, this is an excellent option.Sodium Hyaluronate (3%): This form of hyaluronic acid is highly effective in retaining moisture in the skin and helps maintain skin structure and balance. Alternatively, our sensitive skin staff members like to use the sandwich method, where we apply some retinol in between our moisturisers. Yes! You heard it right, add your retinol in between 2 layers of moisturiser. I don’t notice a huge difference in moisture levels of my skin compared to a 2% hyaluronic acid serum, but I do like the lightweight texture, which easily allows it to be layered with other serums. As its name suggests, COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil contains 0.5% of pure retinol, making it a strong and efficacious product. This high concentration of pure retinol or Vitamin A works by decreasing wrinkles, fine lines and at the same time boost collagen production to smooth out uneven skin texture. In addition, squalane and super Vitamin E are added to help retain optimal moisture levels, prevent external environmental stress while reducing skin damage. Together, these ingredients complement one another to impart a healthy, fresh and youthful-looking radiance onto your skin!

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil: A non-comedogenic oil rich in vitamin E, sunflower seed oil helps hydrate and protect the skin. Because the concentration and formulation types of retinol are different, you can choose the product depending on the effect and after-feel that you want. I keep it in the fridge as instructed and only use it twice a week at night for now cause I have sensitive skin. I wake up to nice and glowy skin the next morning. It says it’s only good for 3 months after it’s opened but it’s going to take me longer to get through it.

If you are starting to deal with the signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines, COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream contains a low 0.1% retinol concentration, perfect for beginners. NOTE: Retinoids, including retinol, can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so be sure to apply this serum only in the evening and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher while using this serum (and every other day, too!). Increasing sebum production in the pore results in skin problems like acne, and re tinol can not only improve skin problems but also improve hyperpigmentation caused by skin problems by reducing sebum to suppress sebum cell propagation.
