A little guidance

Your Dr. Althea questions, answered

What is Dr. Althea known for?

Dr. Althea is a Korean skincare brand focused on gentle, purposeful care for sensitive skin concerns. Its range includes soothing moisturisers, hydration serums and mists, brightening care, retinol treatments, cleansing balm and daily sunscreen.

Should I choose 345 Relief Cream or 147 Barrier Cream?

Choose 345 Relief Cream for lightweight soothing moisture, especially when skin is combination or blemish-prone. Choose 147 Barrier Cream when dryness, tightness or roughness makes you want a richer, more cushioned cream. You can also choose a lighter texture by day and richer moisture at night.

Which vitamin C serum should I start with?

Gentle Vitamin C Serum is the starting point for first-time vitamin C users. Vitamin C Boosting Serum focuses on visible dark spots and uneven tone with 5% niacinamide and 2% tranexamic acid. Choose one serum, then follow with moisturiser and daytime sunscreen.

What is the difference between a serum, mist and cream?

A serum gives your routine a focused hydration or treatment step. A mist adds a fine layer of moisture after cleansing or as a refresh. A cream follows the lighter layers to keep skin feeling soft and comfortable. You do not need every format in one routine.

Is Melaclear Cream the same as 345 Relief Spot Powder?

They focus on different concerns. Melaclear Cream targets the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone. 345 Relief Spot Powder is calamine-based care for individual troubled spots and excess surface oil. Keep the spot powder unshaken and dab it only where needed after skincare.

How do I choose between PDRN and retinol?

PDRN Reju 5000 Cream combines daily moisturising care with a focus on skin texture and elasticity. Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream is an evening retinol treatment for fine lines, firmness and texture. Start with the priority that matters most to you and introduce retinol gradually.

Which Dr. Althea sunscreen suits my skin?

Aqua Glowing Sunscreen has a moisturising feel and a glowy finish for dry-feeling skin. Green Tea Fresh Sunscreen has a lighter, watery feel for oily or combination skin. Both are SPF50+ PA++++. Apply generously before sun exposure and reapply regularly outdoors.

Where does the 345 mask or mist fit?

Use 345 Relief Cream Mask after cleansing for an extra soothing moisture step, then follow with cream. 345 Relief Cream Mist can be used after cleansing, between skincare layers or over makeup when your skin needs a moisture refresh.
