How to Use:

1. Step 1: Cleanse
   Begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities.

2. Step 2: Apply in the Evening

   • Dispense 2-3 drops of COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil into the palm of your hand.
   • Gently massage the oil onto clean, dry skin, focusing on areas prone to fine lines and wrinkles, such as the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth.
   • Avoid direct contact with the eyes and lips.

3. Step 3: Follow with Moisturizer
   After applying the retinol oil, follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration and enhance the skin's barrier protection.

4. Frequency:

   • Start Slowly: If new to retinol, begin by using the oil 2-3 times per week, and gradually increase usage as your skin builds tolerance.
   • Nighttime Use Only: Retinol increases skin sensitivity to sunlight, so use only at night and always follow up with sunscreen during the day.

5. Sun Protection:
   Since retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, it’s essential to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to prevent UV damage.

With consistent use, COSRX The Retinol 0.5 Oil will help transform your skin, leaving it smoother, firmer, and more youthful over time.
