Dr. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum 30ml

Dr. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is a lightweight anti-ageing treatment designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, post-acne marks, uneven texture and enlarged pores while remaining suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Formulated with 0.1% Retinol and Bakuchiol, this beginner-friendly serum delivers the benefits of retinol with a gentler approach. Retinol helps support skin renewal, smooth rough texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, while Bakuchiol helps improve skin firmness and elasticity.

The fast-absorbing formula is enriched with Panthenol, Allantoin and botanical extracts to help soothe and hydrate the skin, reducing the likelihood of irritation commonly associated with retinol products.

Its non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, making it easy to incorporate into an evening skincare routine for smoother, clearer and more refined-looking skin over time.
