Dr.Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream
Dr.Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream
A 0.15% pure retinol cream, in plain terms
Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream is exactly what the name sets out: a facial cream organised around pure retinol at 0.15%. Retinol is not the only active flagged on the pack, since bakuchiol and panthenol are printed there too, but the retinol level is the figure the formula is named for. The brand describes the cream as providing intensive care that helps to enhance skin elasticity, so elasticity is the outcome it is positioned around rather than a simple finishing step.
What the brand says this cream does
- Brand-stated support for skin elasticity The brand states that the cream helps to enhance skin elasticity, which is the focus it is marketed around.
- Described as intensive care The brand describes the cream as providing intensive care, in a formula named for its pure retinol 0.15% level.
The three actives printed on the pack
- Retinol 1,500 ppm (pure retinol 0.15%) Printed on the front of the pack as retinol 1,500 ppm and pure retinol 0.15%. Retinol is commonly used as a skin-conditioning ingredient and to support skin renewal.
- Bakuchiol 1,000 ppm Listed on the pack at 1,000 ppm. Bakuchiol is commonly used to support skin conditioning and to provide antioxidant support.
- Panthenol 10,000 ppm The highest stated level of the three flagged actives, at 10,000 ppm. Panthenol is commonly used as a humectant and as a skin-conditioning ingredient.
Who this retinol cream may suit
- Dry and normal skin: a conditional match. Panthenol is explicitly named and provides humectant support, though tolerance and compatibility still vary between users.
- Anyone focused on visible loss of elasticity: a conditional match, since retinol and bakuchiol are explicitly named and support conditioning-focused care for visible elasticity. Results and tolerance vary.
- Skin that feels dehydrated: a conditional match based on the named panthenol and its humectant role rather than on an assessment of the whole formula.
Before you start with retinol
- Retinol is named as a key ingredient in this cream, and retinol may be irritating for some users, particularly sensitive skin.
