Dr. Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream 20ml

Dr. Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream 20ml is a beginner-friendly Korean retinol cream that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and loss of firmness while keeping the skin hydrated and comfortable. Formulated with 0.15% pure retinol, bakuchiol, Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Ceramide NP, Panthenol, Madecassoside, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, this lightweight night cream delivers effective anti-ageing benefits while supporting the skin barrier and minimising irritation.

Designed for those new to retinol, the gentle yet effective formula encourages healthy skin renewal to improve skin texture, soften fine lines, refine pores, and promote a smoother, brighter-looking complexion. Soothing and barrier-supporting ingredients help replenish moisture and reduce dryness, making it ideal for users beginning their retinol journey.

Unlike many traditional retinol creams, Dr. Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream combines retinol with skin-calming ingredients to help maintain comfort while delivering visible anti-ageing results. With consistent evening use, skin appears firmer, more even-toned, and healthier-looking over time.

Key Benefits:

  • Contains 0.15% pure retinol to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Helps improve skin elasticity and firmness.
  • Refines uneven skin texture and minimises the appearance of pores.
  • Brightens dull skin and promotes a more even skin tone.
  • Enriched with Bakuchiol to complement retinol while remaining gentle on the skin.
  • Centella Asiatica, Panthenol, and Madecassoside help soothe irritation and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Ceramide NP locks in moisture and supports long-lasting hydration.
  • Lightweight, fast-absorbing cream suitable for nightly use.
  • Ideal as an entry-level retinol treatment for beginners.

20ml

1- Cleanse your face thoroughly and apply toner and/or a hydrating serum if desired.

2- In the evening only, apply a pea-sized amount of Dr. Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream evenly over the face, avoiding the eye area, lips, and broken skin.

3- Follow with a moisturiser to lock in hydration and help minimise dryness, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.

4- Start slowly by using the cream 2–3 nights per week for the first 2–3 weeks. Gradually increase to every other night or nightly as your skin builds tolerance.

5- Apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning, as retinol can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Tips for Best Results:

1- Perform a patch test before first use.

2- Avoid using alongside strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA/PHA), benzoyl peroxide, or other retinoids in the same routine unless advised by a skincare professional.

3- If irritation occurs, reduce the frequency of use until your skin adjusts.

4- Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the retinol.

5- Consistent use for 8–12 weeks typically provides the best visible improvements in fine lines, skin texture, and overall radiance.

Conduct a patch test first. Use only as directed on the packaging. Avoid storing in high/low temperatures or in areas exposed to direct sunlight. Stop using if it causes any allergic reaction and seek medical advice.
