Product details
Description
Dr.Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream is a gentle, beginner-friendly Korean vegan moisturizer engineered to deliver powerful anti-aging results without the harsh irritation typically associated with retinol. Formulated specifically for sensitive skin types and those new to retinoids, this advanced night cream combines a low-dose pure retinol with natural alternatives to accelerate cell turnover and boost skin elasticity.
The lightweight, water-like texture absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy or heavy residue, making it a comfortable addition to your evening skincare routine. It targets the early signs of aging by visibly tightening the skin, smoothing fine lines, and fading stubborn dark spots or hyperpigmentation.
By balancing potent active ingredients with deeply soothing botanicals, it strengthens the moisture barrier while promoting a more even, refined complexion. This vegan formula allows individuals with easily sensitized skin to experience the transformative, firming benefits of a targeted retinoid treatment with minimal redness or flaking.
How to use
- Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin in the evening as the final step of your skincare routine.
- Beginners should start by using it two to three times a week and gradually increase frequency as skin tolerance builds.
- Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.

very good retinol starter cream
I've tried several products from Dr. Althea, and this Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream is a thoughtful option for anyone wanting to ease into retinol without overwhelming their skin. The cream has a lightweight, silky texture that spreads easily, absorbs well, and feels moisturizing without leaving a greasy finish. I appreciate that it combines a gentle concentration of retinol with bakuchiol, centella asiatica, and hydrating ingredients, making it feel more supportive than many traditional retinol creams. On my skin, it leaves my face feeling soft, smooth, and well-hydrated by the next morning, with no excessive dryness or peeling when introduced gradually. While it's not the kind of product that delivers dramatic overnight changes, it works well as a consistent nighttime treatment to help improve skin texture, soften the appearance of fine lines, and promote a healthier-looking complexion over time. I also like that it layers nicely with a simple moisturizer and doesn't feel heavy. As with any retinol product, it's best to start slowly, avoid combining it with other strong exfoliating actives on the same night, and wear sunscreen daily. Overall, this is a well-balanced, beginner-friendly retinol cream that focuses on gradual, gentle results rather than aggressive treatment, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to incorporate retinol into their skincare routine with minimal irritation.

The perfect beginner retinol for sensitive skin, or all skin types really
I absolutely love this beginner, friendly retinol. It contains both retinol as well as a high concentrate Bakuchiolwhich is an retinol alternative. If you're just starting out your journey and don't want to have the high purge rate that retinol can come with this is definitely for you. Not only does it contain .15% of retinol it also contains panthenol, which is great for helping your skin barrier and overall irritation. Even though it's for beginners, I still recommend starting out once to twice a week and going from there. And as always always pair with a good SPF in the morning. Only using retinol at night. It's not greasy and it is surprisingly moisturizing which I love. I think it works with all skin types and sensitive skin in particular. I also like that is fragrance free. Overall, a very good retinol built with sensitivity in mind.

Very nice
This 0.15% Retinol cream is great. The low-strength formula feels well-suited for beginners and daily use, providing the benefits of retinol without causing excessive dryness or irritation. The cream has a smooth texture that absorbs easily into the skin. After using a few days I noticed my skin appeared smoother, and there was an improvement in overall texture and brightness. I also like that it didn't leave my skin feeling tight or uncomfortable the next morning.

DEFINITELY WORKS ✨
I got this primarily for my Keratosis Pilaris on my biceps. My insurance wouldn't cover the lotion my PCP recommended but ever since I started using this I've noticed a drastic change. I typically shower, exfoliate my arms with a special glove then pat down to dry then I apply this cream with DRY HANDS. (Never apply retinol with wet hands!!) But overall would recommend; great for sensitive skin, doesn't have a odd smell, and you don't need a large amount to apply. ** If you plan to be outside or in the sun for long periods, apply sunscreen since you'll prob burn or have a nasty tan lol.
