Contraindications of Cosmo Retinol Foaming Face Wash 

Do NOT use Cosmo Retinol Foaming Face Wash  if you:

• Have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Retinol, Collagen, Rosehip, or any other ingredient in the product.
• Have severely broken, infected, or inflamed skin conditions, such as weeping eczema or severe burns.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Warnings

• Pregnancy: Consult your doctor. While topical, rinse-off Retinol products pose a low risk, it is standard advice to consult a physician before using any product containing a Vitamin A derivative (like Retinol) during pregnancy or while trying to conceive.
• Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor. Use only under medical advice.

Side Effects of Cosmo Retinol Foaming Face Wash

Side effects are generally mild and may be related to the Retinol/exfoliating action.

• Common Side Effects (Mild and Expected): Mild dryness, slight tightness, or increased sensitivity to the sun upon initiating use. This is often temporary as the skin adjusts to the Retinol.
• Serious but Rare Side Effects (that may require medical attention):
  • Severe Allergic Contact Dermatitis: Symptoms include persistent and severe redness, itching, burning, or swelling of the face.

What to do if side effects occur:

• For mild dryness or tingling, reduce frequency to once daily (evening only) until the skin adjusts.
• For severe or persistent irritation or allergic symptoms, discontinue use immediately and consult a pharmacist or physician.
• Eye Contact: Avoid contact with eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse eyes immediately and thoroughly with plenty of clean water.

Precautions and Warnings of Cosmo Retinol Foaming Face Wash 

• Sun Protection is Essential: Because Retinol and exfoliating ingredients promote new cell growth, the freshly cleansed skin will be more susceptible to sun damage. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) is non-negotiable during the day.
• External Use Only: This product is strictly for external facial cleansing.
• Avoid Eye Area: Do not apply directly to the eye contour area.
• Discontinue Use: If severe skin irritation develops or persists, stop using the product.

The active ingredients include Retinol, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Rosehip Fruit Extract, and Niacinamide. It is supplied as a foaming liquid face wash, typically in a 175mL pump bottle. It is an Over-the-Counter (OTC) Cosmetic/Skincare Product.
