Product details

Description

This advanced skin-balancing serum effectively refines skin texture, minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores, and smooths fine lines. Designed specifically for sensitive skin types and retinol beginners, this lightweight formula targets blemishes and signs of aging without causing irritation or dryness.

The formula features a potent yet gentle combination of pure retinol and Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate to boost skin elasticity and tighten pores. To counteract the typical irritation associated with vitamin A derivatives, it is enriched with proprietary Cicahyalonβ€”a blend of Centella Asiatica extract and three types of hyaluronic acid that deeply soothes and hydrates the skin barrier. Additionally, plant-derived bakuchiol and lipo-hydroxy acid work together to regulate excess sebum production and gently exfoliate the skin surface.

Choosing this introductory retinol essence ensures that your skin receives the full renewing benefits of cellular turnover while maintaining a calm, balanced complexion. Housed in an innovative airless container to protect ingredient stability, this serum is a perfect addition to any nighttime skincare routine focused on achieving smooth, radiant skin.

    new favourite retinol!

    What I LIKE about it:1) GENTLE YET EFFECTIVE RETINOL - The 0.1% retinol concentration is perfect for beginners or those with sensitive skin. It delivers noticeable results-smoother texture, minimized pores, and improved elasticity-without causing irritation.2) CICA FOR SOOTHING - The inclusion of Centella Asiatica (Cica) is a game-changer. It calms and hydrates the skin, making this essence an excellent choice for those prone to redness or sensitivity.3) LIGHTWEIGHT TEXTURE - The serum is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers beautifully under other products, making it easy to incorporate into any skincare routine.4) PORE AND SEBUM CONTROL - Regular use noticeably reduces sebum production and the appearance of pores, giving the skin a more balanced, refined look.5) IMPROVES SKIN ELASTICITY - With continued use, skin feels firmer and looks more youthful, making it a great option for early anti-aging care.DISLIKE: The bottle is small (30 ml), so it might not last long if used daily. However, the results make it worth repurchasing.I hope you found this review HELPFUL. Makes reviewing worthwhile. Thank you.

FAQs

What is Cica Reti a retinol 0.1 skin balancing essence?

It is a gentle Korean skincare serum formulated with a low concentration of retinol and soothing Centella Asiatica. It is designed to minimize pores, balance sebum, and reduce fine lines specifically for sensitive skin.

Can I use 0.1% retinol every day?

Yes, a 0.1 percent concentration is mild enough for daily use once your skin builds tolerance. Beginners should start by applying it two to three times a week at night before increasing frequency.

Is 0.1% retinol strong enough?

Yes, it is highly effective for beginners, sensitive skin types, and pore care. It delivers visible texture-refining and anti-aging benefits without causing the intense purging or redness of higher percentages.

Yes, absolutely. Dropy India directly sources all products from the USA to ensure one hundred percent authenticity for Indian consumers. Every purchase is guaranteed genuine and stored under optimal conditions.
