Dr. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is a mild serum that smooths fine lines and brightens the skin.
The formula uses encapsulated retinol to work gradually, helping refine texture without irritation. Panthenol, ceramides and plant extracts support the skin barrier, making this serum suitable for beginners and sensitive skin. With consistent use, the skin appears firmer, smoother and more radiant.
Ingredients we love:
- Retinol: supports cell renewal and softens fine lines.
- Bakuchiol: improves texture and promotes a more even-looking skin tone.
- Panthenol: calms the skin and helps restore moisture.
- Ceramides: strengthen the skin barrier and help retain hydration.
Why we love it
The lightweight gel texture absorbs quickly and leaves the skin soft and comfortable. Retinol and bakuchiol work together to deliver visible results while staying gentle on the skin. Barrier-supporting ingredients reduce dryness and redness, making this an ideal first retinol step.
- Apply to clean, dry skin.
- Use toner beforehand if it is part of your routine.
- Apply 1 to 2 pumps evenly across the face.
- Avoid the eye and lip area.
- Follow with a moisturizer.
- Use in the evening 2 to 3 times per week and increase gradually.
- Always use sunscreen during retinol use.
