Description
Dr.Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is a carefully balanced treatment serum created for those who want the benefits of retinol without the harsh side effects often associated with stronger formulas. Designed to improve uneven texture, minimize the appearance of pores, and soften visible signs of aging, this gentle formula helps support healthier, smoother-looking skin over time.
What we love about Dr.Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is how thoughtfully it combines effective renewal with skin comfort. The 0.1% retinol works alongside bakuchiol to encourage skin turnover and improve elasticity, while hydrating and calming ingredients help reduce dryness and irritation. It’s an excellent choice for retinol beginners, sensitive skin users, and anyone wanting gradual but visible results.

Hero Ingredients
Here’s what powers the Dr.Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum:
Retinol (0.1%)
A gold-standard vitamin A derivative known for improving fine lines, texture, and uneven skin tone. This gentle concentration is ideal for those starting retinol or returning to it after a break.
Bakuchiol
A plant-derived ingredient often paired with retinol for added skin-smoothing and firming benefits. It helps support skin renewal while offering a gentler experience.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Helps brighten dull skin, refine pores, and strengthen the skin barrier. It also works well alongside retinol to support a balanced complexion.
Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)
Draws moisture into the skin to keep it hydrated and comfortable. This helps counteract dryness that can happen during retinol use.
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
A soothing ingredient that helps calm skin and reinforce moisture retention, making the serum more comfortable for sensitive users.
Allantoin
Known for its skin-soothing properties, allantoin helps reduce visible irritation and supports smoother, healthier-looking skin.
