This is the COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream with Super Vitamin E + Pathenol.
I am notoriously afraid of retinols. However, this was AMAZING!!! It didn't tear my skin apart or make it peel or flake. This feels like an overnight reset for my face. This is meant to be used daily (build up to that first, especially if you're new to retinol), and it never once irritated my skin. This is so thick and creamy, and melts into my skin so well. I never just go straight in with this, I layered a lot of hydration before and after using this. My skin always feels so baby soft in the morning after using this! My only complaint about this is the smell. I think all my products that have Pathenol in them just have this earthy smell to it and I hate that. But if you can get past the smell I think this is a great product. (Also, I don't do the best job at explaining how to use Retinols. If you want an in depth how to and breakdown of what retinols to use, go checkout Shelby's page @skincarewithshelbs - she gives the most amazing in depth analysis and talks you through the best way to use it, and frankly all your products. So much of my skincare knowledge and products I love come from her and she is amazing!)
As someone who has struggled with sensitive skin and the fear of using retinol products, my experience with COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream has been truly reassuring. Retinol often causes dryness, peeling, or irritation, but this cream’s formula, enriched with Super Vitamin E and Panthenol, offers a soothing effect that protects the skin barrier effectively. What I find particularly beneficial is the creamy and thick texture that melts effortlessly into the skin, allowing for deep hydration. From my personal routine, layering hydrating serums before and after applying this retinol cream significantly enhances comfort and results. My skin feels incredibly soft and rejuvenated by morning, giving that 'baby soft' texture described so often. Regarding the scent, the earthy smell linked to panthenol can be noticeable and might take some getting used to. However, the skin benefits far outweigh this minor drawback in my opinion. For anyone new to retinol, I recommend starting slowly to build tolerance as the brand suggests, and always ensuring ample hydration to support skin health. Incorporating this cream into my skincare routine has been a game-changer, especially as someone cautious about retinol's potential harsh effects. If you seek a firming and smoothing product that gently resets your skin overnight, this COSRX cream is worth the try.
