As a Medical Aesthetician in the harsh Boston area, I highly recommend COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil for anyone looking to improve their skin's texture and firmness. This product is highly concentrated with 0.5% pure retinol, making it a powerful anti-aging solution. Unlike other facial oils, this product does not leave a slippery texture on the skin but instead has a smooth and fast-absorbing formula that promotes a healthy, hydrated skin barrier. I have used this product for well over 6 weeks now and have seen a noticeable improvement in my skin's texture and firmness. It has specifically provided great relief to the dry, irritated skin around my eyes and nose due to the cold Boston winter. Although this is nowhere near an eye serum; any little bit I have left I use around those sensitized areas. I'm now able to apply eye creams like normal, due to the quick healing and relief this provided. This product is also formulated without purified water or retinol derivatives, making it a pure and effective solution for anti-aging care.Overall, I highly recommend COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil to anyone looking for a powerful and effective anti-aging solution that is gentle on any skin. It is a great addition to any skincare routine, leaving your skin feeling silky, smooth, firm, and hydrated, without that typical oily feeling.

The COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil is like no other! I wasn’t sure what to expect from this oil, my skin is pretty used to retinol as I’ve been using it for acne before. So I did not think that I would see much difference as most of the time retinol comes in a cream form not an oil. I absolutely love this oil! I was shocked but not surprised at how great this oil worked for me. I thought it’s a facial oil (love) and retinol (also love) how could this not be amazing? And I was correct. It gave me such an amazing glow every morning I felt like my skin looked amazing and flawless.I started using it every night, and like I said before, my skin int new to retinol so I was Anel to get away with that but if your skin is not used to retinol or you have never used any retinol products before. Then please start out with just using it once or twice a week.So with that being said, I saw a difference in the texture of my skin. I have a lot of scaring and redness from years of dealing with acne so this serum helped reduce that and add a nice glow to my skin.I love this serum and definitely would suggest this to anyone who is looking to try out a retinol product. It’s pretty good for beginners since it’s in a lovely oil it won’t be too rotating.

Sometimes retinal scan be super harsh, but in this in this instance with an oil carrier, I've been able to mix it, or buffer it in between layers of serum, or other heavy moisturizers I'm in it's been very very gentle on my face, yet shown to be effective in really allowing my skin, to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and to give my skin, and overall much better glow than I've had previously in the past. I didn't have much issue with sensitivity like I normally do if I begin using a retinol products and a little bit goes a long way so this method of using it in an oil should last a really long time and it's very quick cost-effective. As a five year veteran in the high in skin care retail industry, we know that rentals are number one or two in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and it's just something that everybody should have in their skin care regimen
