DR. ALTHEA 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum – a gentle retinol serum with bakuchiol
DR. ALTHEA 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum is a lightweight facial serum designed to support the appearance of smoother skin texture, early fine lines, and firmer-looking skin, while helping to reduce the dryness commonly associated with retinol. The 0.1% stated in the name precisely indicates the retinol concentration: a deliberately moderate formula that combines active skincare with comfort-supporting ingredients.
Retinol with a gentler supporting blend
The main idea behind this serum is not retinol alone, but its combination with bakuchiol. The formula contains 1,000 ppm, or 0.1%, retinol complemented by bakuchiol, making it suitable for caring for skin that looks more even, smooth, and supple. Retinol is accompanied by hydrating and soothing ingredients—a thoughtfully designed composition for those who value not only the active ingredient, but also a more comfortable feel on the skin.
- 0.1% retinol: a vitamin A derivative that helps improve the appearance of uneven texture and fine lines, while the clearly stated concentration makes the product’s precise character easy to understand.
- Retinol and bakuchiol duo: bakuchiol complements the formula, which is designed to support smoother, firmer-looking skin, and reinforces the concept of gentler retinol care.
- Comfort-supporting base: panthenol, birch sap, soybean oil, and allantoin contribute to a moisturized feel and help reduce the feeling of dryness, which can become an important consideration in more active skincare routines.
At first, the serum feels lightweight, with a watery-gel texture. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky or greasy layer. It fits naturally into the serum step of an evening skincare routine and will particularly appeal to those who appreciate precisely dosed retinol without a heavy, oily texture. This balance between activity and comfort is the defining feature of DR. ALTHEA 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum.
Usage
In the evening, on clean, dry face and neck skin apply a small amount of DR. ALTHEA 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum (pea-sized), avoiding the eyelids, eye corners and lip area; for the first 2–3 weeks use 2–3 times per week, later, if the skin tolerates well, gradually increase the frequency to every evening; after the serum use a moisturizing cream, and in the morning be sure to apply broad-spectrum SPF 30–50, because retinol increases sensitivity to the sun; if irritation or marked dryness, redness or stinging occurs, reduce the frequency of use or take a break; do not use on the same evening together with other retinoids, strong acids (AHA/BHA/PHA) or benzoyl peroxide.
