Alpha H Vitamin A Serum With 0.5 Retinol 25ml

Dermoi scientists recommend Alpha H Vitamin A Serum with 0.5 Retinol for its clinically proven Retinol benefits and supportive botanicals. The 0.5% Retinol accelerates cell renewal while squalane and jojoba oils maintain hydration and barrier health, leaving skin smoother, firmer, and radiant.

“A clinically relevant 0.5% Retinol — although marketed as gentle, this is still a clinically active concentration. May trigger irritation in retinoid-naïve or sensitive users. Must be introduced gradually, used at night, and paired with daily SPF.” - Ekin Guney, MSc, Molecular Biology & Genetics, Member of Dermoi Scientific Advisory Board
