Product details

  • Makes skin appear smoother and refines skin texture.

Description

The 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum by Dr. Althea is a gently formulated facial serum with retinol and bakuchiol that makes the skin appear smoother, refines the complexion, and provides a balanced, nourished skin feeling.

The formulation relies on a mild combination of retinol and bakuchiol, known for improving skin texture and softening the appearance of fine lines and an uneven complexion. Retinol supports skin renewal and ensures a more even appearance, while bakuchiol acts as a plant-based alternative and additionally keeps the skin supple. This combination is particularly suitable if you want to gain your first experience with retinol or prefer gentler care.

Glycerin and butylene glycol provide moisture and help to retain it in the skin, making the skin feel plumper and more balanced. Panthenol and allantoin ensure a pleasant skin sensation and contribute to making the skin appear softer. The care is complemented by botanical extracts such as chamomile extract, lavender flower extract, and borage extract, which soothe the skin and give it a well-cared-for appearance. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) additionally protects against external influences and supports the skin barrier.

The 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is particularly suitable for demanding, mature, and dehydrated skin but is also suitable for more sensitive skin types who want to gradually introduce retinol. It is ideal if you want to make your complexion appear smoother and simultaneously provide your skin with moisture and nourishment.

For which skin types and concerns?

Ideal for demanding, mature, and dehydrated skin that needs to look smoother, more even-looking, and better cared for. Particularly suitable for uneven skin tone, an uneven skin texture, and the appearance of fine lines.

Also suitable for more sensitive skin if you are new to retinol or prefer a gentler skincare routine.

How does it solve my skin problems?

Uneven skin texture and fine lines can make the skin appear less smooth. Retinol supports skin renewal and can therefore refine skin texture. Bakuchiol complements this approach by keeping the skin supple and supporting a smoother, more even appearance.

Dehydrated skin benefits from glycerin and butylene glycol, which moisturize and help retain moisture in the skin. Panthenol and allantoin soften the skin and can contribute to a more balanced skin feel. This makes the skin look better cared for, smoother, and plumper.

Chamomile extract, lavender flower extract, and borage extract can further soothe the skin. Tocopherol supports the skin barrier and protects against external influences. The serum is particularly suitable for gentle care and a gradual introduction to retinol.
