0.5% Retinol, Squalane, Tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E)
This is a lightweight oil, it’s easy to use and doesn’t feel suffocating. Since it contains 0.5% retinol I’d recommend it to intermediate users.
I really like this oil and I’m using it right now without any irritation.
It helps a lot my skin to look more radiant and healthier. I used this for almost 2 weeks during nighttime. 2 drops were enough to cover my whole face and neck. I like how it leaves my skin moisturized, soothed, plumped and firmed. No tacky feeling and greasiness. It absorbed fast by my skin. I saw some improvement on my fine lines and skin texture. It’s incredible how it made my skin looks brighter and glowing! Overall, I enjoyed using this as it did not caused me irritations or further breakouts. It worked well on my combo skin type. It’s now one of my holy grails!
This product is an excellent retinol starter for my skin because it is mild and contains a good quantity of retinol. I tried retinol a long time ago, but it stings so badly and I don't enjoy it, however this oil feels great on my skin. It has an earthy scent that doesn't linger or bother me.There is no skin redness or irritation.
This oil is best used in the evening. I tried to avoid applying it to my eyes area and instead concentrated on my face and neck. The instructions advise limiting use to three times per week and storing this product in the fridge.

buat aku ini masih agak terlalu greasy sih mungkin cocok buat yang suka becek di step skincarenya, for beginner jangan coba coba pake yang krim aja dulu
This is the first retinol I’ve ever used. I wanted to start using retinol and decided on this CosRX 0.5 retinol. Since its my first time incorporating retinol into my routine, I used it 1x per week and sandwiched it between a layer of Hada Labo HA lotion and CosRX Snail Mucin, retinol, and another layer of snail mucin and I’ve seen a huge difference. My chin acne reduced significantly, my forehead pimples disappeared, and my skin is alot more brighter. I definitely recommend this for beginners who want to start using retinol.
It's my first time using a retinol and I stupidly did not do any detailed research as I assumed the oil and cream were meant to be together. After attending the cosrx shopee live in my country fwe days ago, I've only came to realised that a beginner should use the cream before the oil.
My review will be quite short as I had to stop using it after 2 times of us. The first time I used it, it did not sting nor irritate my skin but I did feel that my skin was more sensitive than usual the next day. I used it again the 2nd time around 3 days later and it did not feel right. Had to wash off everything.
I gave a 3 star rating because I believe this is a good product but I was not fully prepared to use it to its full potential.
I'll probably try keep a hold on this product and try the cream version first before trying it again. Will update a more detailed review on my Instagram and the informed way to use it that I learned through the live in the next few days
Great night skin care that is oily and makes dry skin softer. You need just a few drops of the product to cover the entire face and neck. I use it 2-3 times per week after toner and before night cream care.
As we all know retinol is amazing, and cosrx is amazing. I haven’t seen a change yet as retinol takes p to 6 weeks but I really think it’s worth a shot. Also having a retinol oil is better so you can layer after a moisturizer to prevent irritation.
If you're taking a retinoid for acne, avoid this product or use it with caution and keep an eye out for breakouts. If you are not prone to acne and are using this for antiaging purposes, you should be fine. Always perform a patch test and proceed slowly.
Don't forget to always wear an SPF of at least 30.
All in all, I like how simple it is to apply this oil. It is not irritating, and it aids in the prevention of retinoid dryness.
Anyway, I was concerned that it would be too greasy, but to my surprise, the oil absorbed into my skin and wasn't as bad as I'd anticipated. There was still oil present, but it was not greasy. I wore it overnight and woke up with soft, hydrated skin that was free of oil and greasiness.
Great retinol product for those who wish to start with retinol. This oil contains low percentage of retinol, so the product itself is gentle on the skin. Suits perfectly for those with sensitive skin as well as one can gradually increase the retinol percentage. Oil itself is very nice, absorbs quickly, does not leave sticky feeling, but leaves the skin glowy, hydrated and plumped. I have noticed that my skin texture has improved as well as some of blemishes disappeared.
Been looking for a good Retinol treatment as my skin has been oily and breaking out due to coming off the pill. I started using 3 times a week and have increased my tolerance to daily usage. I would recommend as it is a good night treatment.
So this one is recommended to be kept in the fridge after opening. As you can imagine, it is oil based but surprisingly light. As someone that breaks out as soon as my skin senses oil, this didn’t trigger anything. Provides a bright complexion right after and if you apply it in the evening, you wake up with brighter skin which is nice. Very nourishing and moisturising. For our friends that have combination skin, but have some dry trouble areas like me, this is great!
The shelf life is very short but for beginners they won't be able to finish whole bottle before product is less effective. It is gentle on skin and works, make sure to store in fridge

This oil doesn't just help with signs of aging Another little tip: this will be used in the serum step of your routine. remember Let the oil absorb before continuing with other products. for better results.
One of my favorite skincare brands! Love love love the way this blended in easily with my other products. Fast absorption! This product left my skin smelling sweet and feeling mosturized. Also woke up looking and brighter skin, as if it “woke up” my complexion.
I like this product. I have pretty normal skin. A slight oily t-zone and it works amazing for me. I use the toner first, then only I apply cosrx retinol, it absorb quickly and feel comfortable
One of my favorite items. The texture is good and easy to absorb. Just need a few drop is enough, fee my skin a little bright and smooth after using 3-4 days. Recommend for who have wrinkle and loss moisture. If you are just using, should use one of another day.
I got this retinol because i wanted to start skin cycling routine and I’ve heard so many good things about it+ cosrx are one of my favorite brands that never disappoints me
I would say it is important to have a retinol in your skincare routine it’s magical! It helps with most skin concerns plus it keeps your skin youthful!
This serum good for night time. Just a few drop is enough. if you just start using it, should apply another. After using this i noticed that my skin become glowing and smooth. It’s easy to absorb as well.
The product is easy to use, but because it's an oil, it is a bit confusing as to where to use it in your routine. Also, because you only need 1-2 drops, it may be easy to want to overuse this. Fortunately, this has not irritated my skin, does not have an overwhelming smell, and comes with very detailed instructions. I have not noticed (nor do I expect) any immediate differences in my skin.
okay it’s a very good product i really love it. it suits my skin. i can say that this is the best korean product i use so far. i’d recommend this to my family and friends.
