The Dr. Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream is a lightweight anti-aging night cream formulated for those beginning their retinol journey, or anyone who has tried stronger retinoids and found them too irritating to stick with. At 0.15%, the concentration is precise — active enough to deliver genuine results on fine lines, texture, and uneven tone, low enough to allow the skin to adapt without the dryness, peeling, and redness that often derails first-time retinol users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWhat sets this apart from a basic retinol cream is the depth of the supporting formula. Retinol works here in synergy with Bakuchiol — a plant-derived ingredient clinically shown to boost cell turnover and support collagen production through a different but complementary pathway to Vitamin A. A 2018 double-blind study found 0.5% Bakuchiol comparable to 0.5% Retinol for improving photoaging signs at 12 weeks, with better tolerability. Together, the two amplify each other's anti-aging effects while Bakuchiol also helps stabilise the otherwise fragile Retinol molecule — improving the overall efficacy and shelf-life of the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDr. Althea's patented Ciarettosome™ complex, which combines Centella Asiatica Extract and Heartleaf-derived PDRN, provides targeted soothing and barrier recovery support — working to pre-empt the inflammation and sensitivity that retinol adaptation can trigger. The water base itself is Centella Asiatica Leaf Water rather than plain aqua, meaning every molecule of hydration in the formula comes with calming, anti-inflammatory botanical support. Madecassoside, one of Centella's four clinically active compounds, reinforces this further with established wound-healing and skin-regeneration properties. \u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.yesstyle.com\/en\/dr-althea-pure-retinol-0-15-cream-20g\/info.html\/pid.1137398092\" class=\"group\/tag relative h-[18px] rounded-full inline-flex items-center overflow-hidden -translate-y-px cursor-pointer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative transition-colors h-full max-w-[180px] overflow-hidden px-1.5 inline-flex items-center font-small rounded-full border-0.5 border-border-300 bg-bg-200 group-hover\/tag:bg-accent-900 group-hover\/tag:border-accent-100\/60\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-nowrap text-text-300 break-all truncate font-normal group-hover\/tag:text-text-200\"\u003eYesStyle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"transition-all opacity-[0%] h-[17px] absolute right-[0.5px] rounded-r-full flex items-center px-1.5 bg-gradient-to-r from-accent-900\/0 via-accent-900\/100 via-30% to-accent-900\/100 group-hover\/tag:opacity-[100%]\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" fill=\"currentColor\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 256\" class=\"transition-all group-hover\/tag:ease-out duration-[500ms] ease-in text-accent-100 group-hover\/tag:scale-[100%] scale-[80%] group-hover\/tag:opacity-[100%] opacity-[0%] -mr-[2px]\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M200,64V168a8,8,0,0,1-16,0V83.31L69.66,197.66a8,8,0,0,1-11.32-11.32L172.69,72H88a8,8,0,0,1,0-16H192A8,8,0,0,1,200,64Z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe barrier complex is thoughtfully built: Ceramide NP maintains the skin's lipid structure and locks in moisture, Cholesterol supports natural barrier lipid function, Panthenol soothes and aids skin recovery, and Allantoin forms a protective layer against irritation. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) provides antioxidant protection — important when using retinol, which increases UV sensitivity and free-radical vulnerability. Kojic Acid and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 quietly round out the brightening and firming support, while Sodium DNA (a polynucleotide similar to PDRN) contributes to the formula's skin-regeneration credentials. Clinical testing confirmed the formula improves inner skin elasticity by 4.17% and pore area elasticity by 2.09% with continued use. \u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/everythingbeautygh.com\/product\/dr-althea-pure-retinol-0-15-cream-1500-ppm20g\/\" class=\"group\/tag relative h-[18px] rounded-full inline-flex items-center overflow-hidden -translate-y-px cursor-pointer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative transition-colors h-full max-w-[180px] overflow-hidden px-1.5 inline-flex items-center font-small rounded-full border-0.5 border-border-300 bg-bg-200 group-hover\/tag:bg-accent-900 group-hover\/tag:border-accent-100\/60\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-nowrap text-text-300 break-all truncate font-normal group-hover\/tag:text-text-200\"\u003eEverything Beauty GH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"transition-all opacity-[0%] h-[17px] absolute right-[0.5px] rounded-r-full flex items-center px-1.5 bg-gradient-to-r from-accent-900\/0 via-accent-900\/100 via-30% to-accent-900\/100 group-hover\/tag:opacity-[100%]\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" fill=\"currentColor\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 256\" class=\"transition-all group-hover\/tag:ease-out duration-[500ms] ease-in text-accent-100 group-hover\/tag:scale-[100%] scale-[80%] group-hover\/tag:opacity-[100%] opacity-[0%] -mr-[2px]\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M200,64V168a8,8,0,0,1-16,0V83.31L69.66,197.66a8,8,0,0,1-11.32-11.32L172.69,72H88a8,8,0,0,1,0-16H192A8,8,0,0,1,200,64Z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe texture is a lightweight cream that spreads easily, absorbs without residue, and sits comfortably overnight — no greasiness, no tight feeling, no heavy scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetinol concentration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15% Pure Retinol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin types:\u003c\/strong\u003e All skin types, including sensitive and retinol-beginners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree from:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fragrance, parabens, sulfates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegan · Made in Korea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the evening, after toner or serum, apply a small amount evenly across the face and pat gently until absorbed.

The addition of Kojic Acid and Madecassoside means this is also quietly addressing dark spots and post-blemish marks while you sleep. If your customers are curious about retinol but nervous, this is the one we'd hand them first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr. Althea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57865827451212,"sku":"DRA-CRE-002","price":11.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/2311\/7132\/files\/retinol_1024x1024177978218703019d7cf8a5265.webp?v=1782142694","url":"https:\/\/www.seoulma-skincare.com\/products\/dr-althea-pure-retinol-0-15-cream-20g","provider":"Seoulma-skincare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
