Description
Dr. Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is a beginner-friendly retinol treatment designed for those who want visible results without overwhelming the skin. This lightweight, gel-like serum absorbs quickly and leaves a fresh, non-greasy finish, making it ideal for layering within a Korean skincare routine. The formula combines retinol with plant-derived bakuchiol to help refine skin texture, soften the look of fine lines and support a more even-looking complexion over time. Panthenol and betula alba (birch) juice help keep the skin comfortably hydrated, reinforcing the moisture barrier so skin feels calm rather than tight or stripped. Soybean oil adds a soft, silky slip, supporting elasticity and helping the skin look smoother and more supple. The gentle formula is crafted to suit sensitive and acne-prone skin types who are new to retinol and prefer a mild, controlled approach. With consistent use, the skin appears clearer, more refined and balanced, with a healthy, natural glow. Use in the evening and build gradually, following with a nourishing moisturizer to complete your hydration layers and protect the skin barrier.
Benefits:
• Smoother, refined texture – helps soften the look of fine lines, pores and post-acne marks for a more even skin surface.
• Gentle for retinol beginners – low-irritation formula designed for sensitive and acne-prone skin, with soothing and hydrating support.
• Hydration and barrier comfort – light gel texture provides moisture and leaves skin soft, supple and comfortably balanced.
Active Ingredients:
• Retinol (0.1%) – vitamin A derivative that supports skin renewal, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and refines uneven texture and enlarged pores over time.
• Bakuchiol – plant-derived active often used as a gentler retinol partner; helps improve firmness, smooth texture and reduce visible pigmentation for a more even tone.
• Panthenol (Provitamin B5) – humectant that attracts and holds moisture in the skin, helping to soothe, comfort and support the skin barrier.
• Betula Alba (Birch) Juice – mineral-rich sap that provides lightweight hydration and helps the skin feel refreshed and supple instead of sticky or heavy.
• Soybean Oil – emollient oil that helps soften the skin, support elasticity and enhance a smooth, nourished feel without a greasy residue.
