COSRX - Sharonspendstoomuch review for The Retinol 0.5 Serum

Review: Cosrx The Retinol 0.5 Oil I received this retinol oil along with 2 other products for free through a Try Me Review Me promotion with Stylekorean and Cosrx in exchange for my honest review. This oil contains 0.5% stabilized pure retinol that targets both initial and progressive signs of aging. It targets fine lines/wrinkles, and improves skin texture, elasticity and radiance. Since this is a stronger concentration, it is important to use this oil no more than 3x weekly initially to build tolerance. Key Ingredients: ▪️Retinol 0.5% (Vitamin A) ▪️91% Squalane ▪️Tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E) ▪️Soybean oil Packaging/Texture: 20ml dark tinted bottle with dropper. Must be refrigerated after opening to maintain stability. It is a slightly thick but silky yellowish colored oil with no noticeable scent. PAO is 3months My Experience: I really like this oil, since I have dry skin. I have been using 1-2 drops 3x per week for about 2 weeks in PM only. I tap it onto my forehead, and around my eyes/mouth where I have fine lines. It just sinks into my skin without any greasy feel, and absorbs quickly into my skin. It doesn’t irritate my skin and the next morning my skin appears more plump and feels soft to the touch. Sometimes I use the oil along with the cream on deeper wrinkles on my forehead and between my eyes, but I don’t recommend doing this if you are not an experienced Retinol user or if your skin can’t tolerate it. It is best with this oil to gradually increase usage provided you don’t get any irritation. For me, it is still too early to see all of the benefits but it doesn’t irritate my skin and it absorbs quickly after applying so I can easily layer with other products. I recommend this for more experienced retinol users only. I’ll definitely repurchase this! Don’t forget to use a sunscreen in the daytime with this and any other retinol product.
