Transform your complexion with the perfect balance of potency and comfort. Dr. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is a meticulously crafted solution for those seeking the transformative power of retinol without the usual challenges. By pairing 1,000ppm of pure retinol with plant-based Bakuchiol, this serum works synergistically to refine skin texture and boost elasticity while remaining exceptionally gentle. The formula relies on a Patented 6-Herb Complex —featuring calming lavender, chamomile, and borage extracts—to soothe the skin, while Panthenol ensures deep, lasting hydration. Because this lightweight, watery serum absorbs instantly without a greasy residue, it provides a seamless experience for those beginning their journey toward firmer, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin. Why You Will Love It: Beginner-Friendly Strength: The 0.1% concentration provides effective results while respecting the skin’s natural barrier, making it the ideal introduction to retinol. Synergistic Anti-Ageing: The combination of Retinol and Bakuchiol works to visibly smooth fine lines and improve overall skin firmness. Refines Texture & Marks: Consistent use helps to minimise the appearance of pores and fades the look of post-blemish marks for a clearer canvas. Deeply Hydrating Base: Infused with Panthenol, it locks in moisture, ensuring your complexion feels plump and comfortable throughout the day. How to Use: Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin after your toner or essence. Gently pat the lightweight formula across your face and neck until fully absorbed, allowing its hydrating ingredients to settle before following with your favourite moisturiser.
