DR. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum 30ML

Description

The Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum is specifically formulated as a beginner-friendly and sensitive-skin-safe vitamin C serum. It aims to brighten the complexion, improve skin tone, and reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation without causing irritation.

Key Ingredients & Their Benefits:

• Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract (Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract): This is a primary source of vitamin C in the serum, known for having a higher vitamin C content than many common fruits. It provides powerful brightening effects, helps to remove toxic substances from the skin, and contributes to overall skin complexion improvement. Being a natural extract, it tends to be gentler than highly concentrated pure ascorbic acid.
• 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: A highly stable and effective derivative of Vitamin C. It acts as a potent antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from environmental damage. More importantly for brightening, it effectively inhibits melanin production, which helps to fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Its stability makes it less prone to oxidation compared to pure L-Ascorbic Acid.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multi-functional ingredient known for its ability to address hyperpigmentation, regulate sebum production, minimize the appearance of pores, and strengthen the skin barrier. It works synergistically with Vitamin C to enhance brightening effects and reduce inflammation.
• Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water (Green Tea Leaf Water): Included for its excellent soothing and antioxidant properties. Green tea is renowned for calming irritated skin and protecting it from oxidative stress.
• Oil Capsule System: An innovative delivery system where vitamin-packed oil capsules are suspended in a watery base. These capsules delicately break upon application, forming a subtle moisturizing barrier. This system helps to ensure the stability and effective absorption of active ingredients, while also providing deep hydration and a non-sticky finish.
• Allantoin: A well-known soothing and skin-conditioning ingredient that helps reduce irritation, promote healing, and soften the skin.
• Adenosine: A cell-communicating ingredient recognized for its anti-aging properties. It helps improve skin elasticity and firmness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Key Benefits:

• Gentle Brightening: Effectively tackles dark spots, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone with a formulation that minimizes irritation, making it ideal for those new to Vitamin C or with sensitive skin.
• Acne-Safe & Soothing: Formulated with a minimalistic ingredient list (often fewer than 20 ingredients) and including soothing components like Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water, it’s designed to be gentle and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for acne-prone skin.
• Deep Hydration: The innovative oil capsule system, combined with humectants, provides a refreshing and deep moisturizing effect, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and supple.
• Improved Skin Texture & Elasticity: Through its brightening, hydrating, and collagen-supporting ingredients (like Vitamin C and Adenosine), it helps to refine skin texture, enhance firmness, and address anti-aging concerns.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops of the serum to your face.
2. Gently pat the serum into your skin for better absorption.
3. For daytime use, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect your skin and maximize the benefits of Vitamin C.
4. Can be used in both morning and evening routines.
