Dr.Althea [EU] 0.1% Gentle Retinol Serum

The serum features a lightweight, fast-absorbing fluid texture that glides effortlessly across the skin without leaving any greasy or heavy residue. It sinks in immediately upon contact, delivering active ingredients deep into the skin's surface layer while maintaining a comfortable, breathable finish throughout the night. The formula is colourless to off-white in appearance and leaves the complexion feeling hydrated, plump, and prepped for moisturiser application.

Step 1 — Begin use 2–3 evenings per week to allow your skin to acclimatise, gradually increasing to nightly application as tolerance builds. Step 2 — Apply after cleansing and toning on fully dry skin. Dispense 2–3 drops onto fingertips. Step 3 — Gently press and pat the serum across the face, avoiding the immediate eye contour and lip area. Step 4 — Follow with your regular moisturiser to seal in hydration and support the skin barrier. Step 5 — Always apply SPF 30 or higher the following morning, as retinol may increase photosensitivity. For best results, use consistently as part of your evening skincare routine.

For external use only. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours before first use. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water. If irritation, redness, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist. Not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding without prior medical advice. Keep out of the reach of children. Store cool, dry, and protected from direct sunlight. Do not use together with other high-potency active ingredients (e.g. AHA/BHA acids, vitamin C) in the same skincare step without professional advice. Increased sun sensitivity may occur – daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is strongly recommended.
