DR. ALTHEA Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream

A nightly cream combining 0.15% retinol with bakuchiol, ceramides, and Centella Asiatica, formulated to support a gradual, lower-irritation introduction to retinol. Who it's for — and who it's not: Good for people who want to start using retinol but are worried about irritation, and who are comfortable following a slow, step-up schedule. Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and not a good match if you're prone to rosacea, since retinoids can aggravate it.
