Dr. Althea Pure Retinol 0.15 Cream, 20g

Dr. Althea – Pure Retinol 0.15 Cream – 20 g is a gentle yet effective anti-aging and skin-refining facial cream. Formulated with 0.15% pure retinol alongside soothing ingredients, it helps diminish fine lines, boost elasticity, and smooth skin texture without causing harsh irritation.

• 0.15% Pure Retinol: Stimulates cellular turnover and collagen production to smooth fine lines and improve firmness.
• Anti-Aging & Texture Refining: Helps minimize enlarged pores, smooth rough patches, and combat signs of aging.
• Soothing & Hydrating Complex: Contains panthenol, ceramides, and botanical extracts to reinforce the skin barrier and prevent dryness or irritation.
• Beginner-Friendly Retinol: A mild yet effective concentration, ideal for those new to incorporating retinol into their skincare routine.

• Smooths fine lines and wrinkles for a rejuvenated, youthful look.
• Refines pore appearance and creates a noticeably smoother skin surface.
• Enhances skin density and natural luminosity.
• Gentle formula with a reduced risk of irritation compared to higher-strength retinol products.

Ideal For: Retinol beginners, mature skin, skin with fine lines, loss of elasticity, uneven texture, or hyperpigmentation.

How to Use:

1. Use at night only on clean, dry skin after toner and serum.
2. Apply a small pea-sized amount evenly over the face, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
3. Start by using 2–3 times a week to allow your skin to build tolerance. If well-tolerated, gradually increase frequency to every night.
4. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.

⚠️ Warning & Precautions: Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid using alongside strong chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA) or high-concentration Vitamin C in the same routine. Mild redness, dryness, or flaking may occur initially as your skin adjusts. A patch test prior to first use is recommended.

💡 Tip: If you have sensitive skin, try the "sandwich method": apply a layer of basic moisturizer, follow with the retinol cream, and top with another layer of moisturizer!
