Ingredients
DR.ALTHEA 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum brings retinol to sensitive skin without the harshness. This lightweight serum pairs a low dose 0.1% retinol with plant based bakuchiol. Together, the two ingredients target fine lines, wrinkles, and pores. They do this while keeping irritation low.
The gel like texture sinks in fast and never feels sticky or heavy. Panthenol, soybean oil, and birch juice keep your skin hydrated as the actives do their job. Your barrier stays comfortable, even as you introduce retinol for the first time.
This serum also helps fade the look of post acne marks. It refines uneven texture and suits acne prone, reactive skin alike. DR.ALTHEA formulates this serum with the same gentle approach as the rest of its range. Start slow, apply at night, and let your skin adjust in its own time.

Cleanse your face and pat it dry before applying this serum.
Apply at night, on clean, dry skin. Retinol makes skin more sensitive to sunlight, so evening use works best.
Start with one or two applications a week. Build up slowly, adding an extra night once your skin feels settled.
Smooth a pea-sized amount over your face, avoiding the eye area. Follow with a moisturiser to seal in comfort.
This is step 3 in your evening routine, after cleansing and toning, and before a night cream.
In the morning, always follow with sunscreen, since retinol increases sun sensitivity through the day.
Store the serum away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally in a cool, dark drawer.
Pair this serum with a mild, fragrance-free moisturiser and a broad-spectrum sunscreen for the most comfortable routine.
