Dr Althea 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum 30ml

Dr. Althea - 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is a mild yet effective serum that combines 0.1% retinol with nutrient-rich ingredients to improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and provide a more even skin tone. The formula contains ceramides, panthenol, and centella asiatica which soothe and hydrate the skin, making it ideal even for sensitive skin or retinol beginners.

The encapsulated retinol is gradually released, reducing the risk of irritation and maximizing effectiveness over time. With regular use, a firmer, clearer skin with increased radiance is experienced. Suitable for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin.
