DR.ALTHEA - Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream 20g

Origin: South Korea

Renew. Firm. Brighten.

Retinol, made approachable. DR.ALTHEA's Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream pairs clinically proven Retinol with Bakuchiol, Sodium DNA, Ceramide NP, and Madecassoside — delivering visible cell turnover, firming, and brightening while minimising the irritation typically associated with retinoid use. Built on a Centella Asiatica Leaf Water base for added calming support.

✦ Hero Ingredients

Retinol 0.15% + Bakuchiol — A clinically proven retinoid and plant-based retinol alternative working in synergy; Retinol accelerates cell turnover and stimulates collagen production, while Bakuchiol enhances efficacy and reduces irritation for a gentler, more tolerable experience.

Sodium DNA (PDRN) — A regenerative active that supports skin cell renewal, accelerates barrier repair, and visibly improves skin density and vitality — complementing Retinol's renewal action overnight.

Kojic Acid + Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 — A brightening and firming duo; Kojic Acid inhibits melanin production to fade dark spots and even skin tone, while Argireline® relaxes expression lines for a smoother, more youthful complexion.

✦ What It Does
