The gentlest way to start your retinol journey. The Dr. Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream is a vegan, dermatologically tested anti-aging cream formulated with Retinol, Bakuchiol, patented Ciarettosome™, and Panthenol to boost cell turnover, stimulate collagen production, and visibly improve skin firmness and texture without the irritation commonly associated with retinol use.
Key Ingredients and What They Do:
- Retinol 0.15%: A well-established anti-aging active at a beginner-friendly concentration that boosts skin cell turnover, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improves overall skin firmness with consistent nightly use.
- Bakuchiol: A plant-derived retinol alternative that complements retinol's firming and collagen-stimulating benefits while adding extra soothing support, making the formula more comfortable for first-time retinol users and sensitive skin types.
- Ciarettosome™ (Patented): Dr. Althea's proprietary complex that combines Centella Asiatica Extract and heartleaf-derived PDRN to calm inflammation, soothe potential irritation, and actively support skin recovery during retinol use.
- Panthenol: Deeply soothes and hydrates the skin, reducing tightness and discomfort that can arise during the retinol adjustment period.
- Lightweight Watery Texture: Glides on smoothly and absorbs completely without greasiness or residue, comfortable enough for nightly use as the final step of your skincare routine.
- Vegan Formula: Free from animal-derived ingredients and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin.
Who It's For:
Anyone beginning their retinol journey or transitioning from a lower-strength formula who wants effective anti-aging benefits with a gentler, more skin-supportive experience. The Bakuchiol and Ciarettosome™ combination makes the Dr. Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream particularly suitable for those who have previously found retinol irritating or difficult to tolerate.
How to Use:
- As the final step of your evening skincare routine, apply a moderate amount evenly over the face.
- During the day, always follow with SPF to protect the skin as retinol increases photosensitivity.
- If new to retinol, start with every other night use and gradually increase frequency as skin adjusts.
