[Dr. Althea] 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum

Size: 30ml

A serum that helps refine skin texture and support elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines, visible pores and post-blemish marks. The lightweight, gel-like formula absorbs quickly without a sticky feel and is gentle enough for those new to retinol.

The serum contains 0.1% retinol and bakuchiol, which help support skin renewal, smooth uneven texture and promote firmer-looking skin. Bakuchiol complements the effects of retinol by helping even out the skin tone and reduce the appearance of pigmentation.

The patented Blue Complex-HR™ combines 6 botanical extracts that help hydrate and condition the skin while supporting the skin barrier. Panthenol helps hydrate and soothe the skin, while birch sap extract and soybean oil support moisture, softness and elasticity.

Apply the serum in the evening after toner. Avoid the eye area, lips and corners of the nose. Allow the serum to absorb, then apply moisturizer.

For the first 1–2 weeks, use every other evening with 1–2 pumps. If your skin tolerates the product well, you can increase use from week 3 onward to every evening and use 3–4 pumps.

Use sunscreen every morning. Avoid using exfoliating acids and other retinoids in the same skincare routine, especially when first introducing the product. If irritation occurs, reduce the frequency of use or discontinue use.

If irritation occurs, pause use and consult a dermatologist if necessary. For external use only. Do not use on damaged skin. Store the product protected from sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water if the product comes into contact with the eyes.
