COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream for wrinkle and pore improvement
2025.09.22 15:01
I heard that you should consistently apply retinol starting in your 30s, so I have been using it for about two years now. Since I have atopic dermatitis and dry skin (though not quite sensitive), I was worried whether retinol would suit me, but fortunately, it works well without any irritation.
I initially started with The Ordinary Retinol Squalene 0.2, but I heard that you are supposed to start with a smaller dose. Since it was my first time and I didn't know any better, I went straight for 0.2 haha.
After that, I used IOPE and other products, but I became curious about the budget options, so I tried the Daiso retinol ampoule and cream. This time, I tried COSRX based on a friend's recommendation. After using this product as well, I realized that as long as the retinol content is right, you don't necessarily need to spend hundreds of thousands of won on expensive products.
I think COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream is a decent product with a good price and a reasonable amount of content.
It is also said to produce a synergistic effect with retinol because it contains Vitamin E, which is effective for antioxidant purposes, and Panthenol, which is necessary for the skin barrier.
The texture is similar to a regular cream or eye cream, and the color has a slightly yellowish tint.
I heard that the raw material retinol itself is naturally that color.
It is unscented, but I think I can faintly detect the distinctive scent of retinol. Since I generally prefer products without added fragrances, I liked it.
I like COSRX products because they don't have anything special, focus on the ingredients, and are affordable.
I used to use the Vitamin C 23 product well, too.
Now that the weather is getting chilly, I think I'll be using creams more often. It suits me well in many ways, so I plan to repurchase it.
