PURPOSE: A polishing agent and a polishing method of a substrate are provided to provide a cobalt layer excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining sufficient polishing rate. CONSTITUTION: A polishing agent for polishing a cobalt-containing layer comprises: a carboxylic acid derivative which has at least one carboxylic acid selected from a phthalic acid compound, an isophthalic acid compound, an alkyldicarboxylic acid compound indicated in chemical formula 1: HOOC-R-COOH, and a salt and acid anhydride thereof; a metal anticorrosive agent; and water. The pH of the polishing agent is 4.0 or less. In chemical formula 1, R is a C4-10 alkylene group. A polishing method of a substrate comprises: a step of polishing at least one cobalt-containing polishing target film on the substrate(1) by using the polishing agent to remove residual parts except for a part containing cobalt atoms.
