Description

The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is a highly regarded K-beauty moisturizer designed to provide comprehensive care, particularly for skin prone to blemishes, sensitivity, and uneven tone. Its name “345” refers to its key ingredient philosophy: 3 blemish relief ingredients, 4 nourishing ingredients, and 5 soothing ingredients.

Key Ingredient Philosophy & Their Benefits:

• 3 Blemish Relief Ingredients:

  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – 10,000ppm (1%): A powerhouse ingredient that helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and blemishes, regulate sebum production, minimize enlarged pores, and improve overall skin tone and barrier function.
  • Resveratrol: A potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage, improves skin elasticity, and contributes to a more youthful complexion. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract: Offers antioxidant benefits and can help with skin brightening and soothing.

• 4 Nourishing Ingredients:

  • Ceramide NP: A crucial lipid found naturally in the skin barrier, Ceramide NP helps restore and strengthen the skin’s protective function, preventing moisture loss and enhancing skin resilience.
  • Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) – 10,000ppm (1%): An excellent humectant that draws and holds moisture in the skin, while also having strong soothing and skin-repairing properties.
  • Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract: Known for its soothing and nourishing fatty acids, contributing to skin health and comfort.
  • Corallina Officinalis Extract: A red algae extract with moisturizing and antioxidant benefits.

• 5 Soothing Ingredients:

  • Hyaluronic Acid (multiple types mentioned): Provides multi-depth hydration, attracting and retaining moisture for plump and supple skin.
  • Beta-Glucan: A highly effective soothing agent that also boosts hydration and supports the skin’s immune response.
  • Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica): Renowned for its healing, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties, excellent for calming irritated skin and aiding in skin recovery.
  • Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract: Offers soothing properties.
  • Houttuynia Cordata Extract (Heartleaf): Known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing benefits, especially helpful for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Key Benefits:

• Targeted Blemish Relief: Effectively addresses issues like dark spots, post-acne marks, and promotes a clearer complexion.
• Soothing & Calming: A rich blend of calming ingredients reduces redness, irritation, and discomfort, making it suitable for sensitive and inflamed skin.
• Skin Barrier Support: Ceramides and other nourishing components help to strengthen the skin’s natural protective barrier, leading to more resilient skin.
• Lightweight, Non-Greasy Texture: Despite being rich in nutrients, it has a regenerating ointment-gel cream texture that absorbs well without feeling heavy, sticky, or greasy. It leaves a silky, refreshing finish.
• Post-Acne Care: Specifically formulated to aid in the recovery process after breakouts, helping to heal and minimize the appearance of acne aftermath.

How to Use:

• As the final or semi-final step in your skincare routine (after cleansing, toning, and serum), take an adequate amount of the cream.
• Gently apply it evenly over your face and neck, patting lightly for absorption.
• Can be used both in the morning and evening. For daytime use, always follow with sunscreen.
