Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream

Product Information

Dr.Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream is a gentle, beginner-friendly Korean retinol moisturizer designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, and loss of firmness. With 0.15% pure Retinol and Bakuchiol, this lightweight cream provides effective anti-aging care while helping maintain skin comfort.

The formula combines Retinol with Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Panthenol, Madecassoside, Allantoin, Ceramide NP, and Cholesterol to provide soothing hydration and barrier-supporting care. Its lightweight, watery texture spreads smoothly and absorbs comfortably without leaving a heavy or greasy finish.

Designed for gradual retinol introduction, this cream is an excellent choice for beginners who want to add a retinol product to their evening skincare routine. Dermatological testing and current retail listings indicate suitability for sensitive skin, although gradual introduction is recommended.
