DR. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum - 30ml

Unlock the transformative power of Retinol without the fear of irritation with the DR. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum - a thoughtfully formulated entry-level and sensitive-skin-friendly Retinol treatment that delivers the gold standard of anti-aging actives in the most approachable, skin-kind way possible. This 30ml serum is DR. Althea's answer to the widespread desire for Retinol results without the redness, peeling, and sensitivity that have historically made this ingredient intimidating for so many.

Retinol is widely regarded as one of the most effective and scientifically validated ingredients in skincare, with decades of research supporting its ability to accelerate cell turnover, stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture and tone. At 0.1%, the DR. Althea Gentle Retinol Serum delivers these benefits at a concentration that is effective yet gentle - ideal for Retinol beginners, those with sensitive skin, or anyone who has previously experienced irritation with higher-concentration Retinol products.

The gentle philosophy extends beyond the Retinol concentration itself. The serum's supporting formula is designed to buffer and complement the Retinol, providing a skin-soothing, barrier-supportive environment that minimizes the risk of the dryness and flaking that can accompany Retinol use. This means you can enjoy the progressive, cumulative benefits of Retinol - smoother texture, reduced fine lines, more even tone - without the uncomfortable adjustment period that deters so many from sticking with this transformative ingredient.

Incorporate the 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum into your evening routine 2-3 times per week to start, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always follow with moisturizer and apply SPF the following morning, as Retinol increases photosensitivity. At 30ml, this serum offers a generous supply for a full introductory Retinol journey.
