FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream suitable for beginners or sensitive skin?
Yes, this 0.1% retinol cream is a beginner-friendly retinol treatment. Its low concentration makes it ideal for sensitive skin or first-time retinol users looking for an anti-aging Korean skincare option.
Can I use COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream with vitamin C or AHA/BHA products?
It’s best to avoid using vitamin C serums, exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA), or benzoyl peroxide together with this retinol cream to prevent irritation. Alternate their usage on different days if you wish to include them in your routine.
Should I apply moisturizer before or after retinol?
You can use the “sandwich method” — apply moisturizer before and after retinol to buffer sensitivity and minimize dryness.
