Dr. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum

Designed for retinol beginners and sensitive skin, the Dr. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum provides low-irritation anti-aging care in a lightweight watery-gel format. This vegan PM formula incorporates pure L-Retinol at a standard 0.1% starting concentration (1,000ppm) to stimulate cell turnover, boost collagen production, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and fade dark spots with consistent night-time use.

• Delivers 0.1% pure L-Retinol to stimulate cell turnover and fade dark spots
• Pairs Bakuchiol with retinol to enhance efficacy while minimizing dryness and peeling
• Uses a Birch Sap base rich in amino acids, minerals, and antioxidants
• Features Panthenol, Soybean Oil, and Allantoin to soothe and repair the barrier
• Includes a 6-botanical calming complex of hyacinth, borage, chamomile, cornflower, clary sage, and lavender
• Contains Tocopherol to maintain retinol stability and provide surface antioxidant defense

By combining pure L-Retinol with plant-based Bakuchiol from Psoralea Corylifolia seeds, this serum enhances collagen synthesis and skin renewal more effectively than either ingredient alone at lower doses. Birch Sap replaces standard water to supply essential minerals and hydration during retinol adjustment. Meanwhile, Panthenol, fatty acid-rich Soybean Oil, and Allantoin actively reinforce the moisture barrier. The six-plant botanical complex works alongside Tocopherol to reduce the inflammatory response and support skin resilience.
