0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum by Dr. Althea

Regular price $42.00

0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum by Dr. Althea. A gentle retinol serum formulated with 0.1% pure retinol to target fine lines, improve texture, and boost radiance, while remaining gentle enough for sensitive or first-time retinol users. Retinol helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and minimise pores, while Bakuchiol helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity. The soothing, hydrating base minimises irritation and supports a smoother, clearer, and more youthful complexion.

Product contains:
0.1% Pure Retinol – promotes cell turnover, smooths fine lines, improves texture, and enhances overall skin radiance with reduced risk of irritation.
Bakuchiol – improves skin texture and pigmentation and delivers the same benefits of retinol without irritation or sensitivity.
Niacinamide – strengthens the skin barrier, brightens dullness, and helps reduce redness or uneven tone.
Hyaluronic Acid – delivers deep hydration, keeping the skin plump and minimising dryness often associated with retinol use.
Centella Asiatica Extract – soothes irritation and supports skin recovery for improved comfort.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) – calms sensitivity, enhances moisture retention, and reinforces the skin barrier.

Product effects:
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and early wrinkles.
Improves skin texture and smoothness.
Enhances radiance and promotes clearer, more even skin.
Hydrates deeply to counteract retinol dryness.
Gentle formula suitable for sensitive or beginner retinol users.
