Concentrated 0.3% pure retinol cream formula that promotes smooth skin texture and visibly firm skin To reap the rewards of this exceptional cream, simply apply a moderate amount to the areas of concern and gently massage it into your skin. This aids in the absorption of the active ingredients, ensuring they penetrate deeply and effectively. 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. Retinol 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.

Retinol with vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide, and AHA/BHA acids. AHA and BHA acids are exfoliating, which can dry out skin and cause further irritation if your skincare routine already includes retinol.

The Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser is easily one of the most iconic products from cult favorite K-beauty brand Cosrx. Cosrx has made a huge global impact and was one of the first brands to use the principles of K-beauty to formulate products for a global market. Because of this, all of their products focus on simplicity, using only what is needed, and catering towards hydration and care rather than stripping the skin with too many actives. The Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is exactly how it sounds: an energizing, purifying cleanser with a gel-like texture that has been formulated at a pH of 5. Although this isn’t mentioned as frequently, the pH of your skincare products is actually crucial in terms of formulation, as well as the amount of benefit it leaves on the skin. For example, a cleanser with a higher pH can often feel more stripping and drying on the skin, which can result in irritation in the long run. With a lower pH however, this product is able to remove dry, grime and oil from your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture.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.

This includes dryness, skin sensitivity, acne, hyperpigmentation and even signs of aging.
