I'm fairly new to regular retinol use as a 7 year verified beauty expert, as I am often in the sun and so use retinol every other night or limit it use if out in the sun continuously. This .1% was a fantastic way to dive in and its gentle/creamy enough to not irritate the skin. I found it was easy to apply a pea size in the evening, it did not leave my skin dry or flaky. I would add an additional layer after the retinol, just to seal in the retinol. In the morning, my skin was plump, moisturixzed and over the 30 days, I saw a lightening of my dar spots and my pores appeared smaller. My skin was noticeably softer and my skin appeared brighter. I am excited to find a gentle formulation to slowly strengthen my skin barrier and I love the visible anti-aging effects of the retinol.

This is my first time useing retinol and I am just turned 24 year old. My skin has been more on the dry side especially during the winter. I received a resurfacing chemical peel and then 2 weeks later started using the retinol. My skin feels so smooth after 3 weeks of using it ! Howeve in the very beginning my skin did break out in parts of my face that it has never done like near my eyebrow and my cheeks . This is a really nice product and a little goes a long way. It still looks like I barely used the products after applying only at night for 2-3 times a week for 3 weeks! I also use the snail mucin essence just about everyday other than cleanser, moisturizer and spf. My skin looks more even toned and can definitely tell a difference with texture.

I am a 40 year old beauty industry veteran. One common practice that we all have working in this environment is explaining the importance of ingredients like retinol to minimize the aging process on our skin as we get older. This is not a cheap ingredient. Corsx retinol cream has a clinical feel to the packaging but that’s exactly what it is, a clinical ingredient that will help reduce the signs of aging when used properly and over a period of time.&nbsp; There is no fragrance and it’s best if you can stay out of the sun to get the most benefit out of the retinol. For that fact, I used it only night. I wouldn’t say that my before after from two weeks of using the retinol cream around my eyes was astounding as it relates to the bags under my eyes. A remarkable difference Just as a dietitian would ask you to eat vitamins D and K together for the most absorption and benefit to your body, Cosrx paired up important ingredients together into one so that you can get the most benefit out of retinol.&nbsp; Any person with aging skin should be using this daily. I give it 5 stars.
