Reference] An Advanced, Physician-Strength Retinol Peel Improves Signs of Aging and Acne Across a Range of Skin Types Including Melasma and Skin of Color, JDD, 2019, 1;18(9):918-923. COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream is a night face cream to combat signs of ageing and achieve youthful, radiant skin. This potent cream is infused with 0.1% pure retinol, a powerhouse ingredient known for its exceptional ability to boost skin elasticity, soften wrinkles, and restore a beautiful luster to your complexion.

This serum is safe for all skin types, and best for skin accustomed to retinol but still experiencing progressive signs of aging such as loss of elasticity and dryness. It's an intermediate-level retinol for those looking for a highly concentrated, youth booster.Make-up and skincare services, BrowBar benefit, gifting and personalisation workshop, Sephora offers you a whole range of services to come and discover in store As explained earlier, retinol has been used as a skincare ingredient for a long time because of its excellent skin efficacy. However, it is relatively difficult to make high retinol concentration because it is unstable against ultraviolet rays, and the higher the retinol content, the lower the stability.To solve this unstable problem, not only the development of various retinol derivatives but also the techniques for stabilizing retinol are constantly being studied. One of the most well known snail based products is without a doubt the CosRx Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream. This product was designed to utilize all of the amazing benefits of snail mucin or snail secretion filtrate, alongside a slightly more occlusive base to form a nourishing, all-year moisturizer. Like most of the products from Cosrx, the emphasis within this formula falls on the active ingredient, while keeping the rest of the formula relatively minimal for ease of use. As the name would suggest, the Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream contains 92% snail mucin, which can help with everything from fading signs of hyperpigmentation to calming redness and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Snail mucin got its claim to fame because of how effectively it produces results without compromising the health and balance of your skin. Because of this, snail mucin and products that contain snail mucin are extremely well suited to almost any skin type. With that said, because this is more of a cream based formula, we’d recommend this product in particular to those with more dry or dehydrated skin types. This exceptional formula goes beyond retinol alone. It is enriched with a blend of skin-loving ingredients carefully selected to provide optimal results. Panthenol, renowned for its soothing properties, works harmoniously with retinol to tame any potential irritation, ensuring a gentle and comfortable experience. Adenosine, another key ingredient, comes to the rescue by banishing sagginess, helping your skin regain its firmness and resilience. Tocotrienol, a potent form of Vitamin E, acts as a formidable shield against harmful free radicals, keeping your skin protected and rejuvenated.

During the adaptation period, you may have skin reactions temporarily such as tingling, redness, peeling, etc. or there is no skin reaction. It is important that using a product that contains a high concentration of retinol is necessary t o go through a guided adaptation process. Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid that has been shown to have better skin penetrating capabilities than hyaluronic acid alone. Similar to panthenol, sodium hyaluronate functions as a humectant by drawing moisture into the skin. Lastly, COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream contains emollients like caprylic/capric triglyceride, sunflower seed oil, and macadamia seed oil to help the skin feel soft and smooth. Concentrated 0.3% pure retinol cream formula that promotes smooth skin texture and visibly firm skinRetinol derivatives are known to be converted to retinol by certain chemical reactions and enzyme actions and can bring an effect on the skin. However, it is a little difficult to be sure that retinol derivatives have the whole effect of retinol, as it is unclear how much can be converted to retinol in our skin by what action.

(* It is recommended to apply a SPF even if not applied during the daytime. Because it can be still left on skin in the next day.

COSRX's other derm skincare product, 「The Hyaluronic Acid 3 Serum」, is full of natural moisturizing factors (NMF) present in the skin, which not only moisturizes the skin but also helps to care for skin barriers.Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays can lead to a decrease in collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, etc. which are essential elements that compose the skin, and retinol can fill up the skin that becomes hollow and improve elasticity and wrinkle by promoting the synthesis of decreased components in the skin.

If you are new to retinol or are a little worried about using retinol, try 「The Retinol 0.1 Cream」. Even if there is no skin reaction to the first use, it is recommended to u se it according to the guidance for use at the beginning as you may have the adaptation reaction late. If the retinol-sensitive reaction continues after the adaptation period, it is better to gradually increase the amount of use and cycle of use by considering the skin condition rather than increasing it at once.To maintain the freshness of retinol ingredients, avoid storing in high temperatures and direct sunlight. During evening care, apply 1 to 2 drops to hand and tap with fingertips from inside out, let absorb. Limit initial use to three times per week; gradually increase frequency to every other night, use as tolerated. The "building tolerance" phase can be shortened or extended depending on individual differences. Maintain this phase until no discomfort is experienced. Gradually increase frequency and areas of application. Rooted in ancient wisdom, Sulwhasoo's philosophy centers on treating the root cause of imbalance to restore skin's youthful health and vitality.
