This formula contains no purified water or retinol derivatives, using 0.5% stabilized pure retinol for strong anti-aging effects. It’s ideal for skin already familiar with retinol but still showing signs of aging like dryness and loss of elasticity. Perfect for intermediate users seeking a concentrated youth-boosting treatment.

Apply a moderate amount to the areas of concern, and gently pat into skin to aid absorption.

The COSRX Ulimate Spot Cream is good for oily skin by helping to reduce excess sebum and targeting breakouts effectively.  Acne-prone skin – Formulated to calm and treat pimples, especially inflamed or cystic ones.  Combination skin – Can be applied only on the acne-prone or oily areas (like the T-zone).  Sensitive skin – Contains soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Zinc Oxide; generally non-irritating if used correctly.  Inflamed skin – Reduces redness and swelling of active breakouts.  Very dry or dehydrated skin – The drying, spot-targeting ingredients (like Zinc Oxide and Calamine) might further dry out the area.  All-over use on large areas – This is a spot treatment, not meant for full-face application. Using it broadly could cause irritation or excessive dryness.  Skin with no active breakouts – It's not a preventive product; using it without a need can be unnecessarily harsh.  This product is not suitable for very dry or dehydrated skin – The drying, spot-targeting ingredients (like Zinc Oxide and Calamine) might further dry out the area.  All-over use on large areas – This is a spot treatment, not meant for full-face application.
