Dr.Althea — Gentle C Serum
30ml
WHAT IT DOES
Vitamin C, Beginner-Friendly.
A gentle, beginner-friendly vitamin C serum purpose-built for sensitive and first-time vitamin C users. Formulated with under 20 carefully chosen ingredients, it delivers 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, 5% Niacinamide, and 20% Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract in a watery, non-sticky texture — brightening, smoothing, and evening skin tone without the pH sensitivity or irritation of traditional ascorbic acid formulas. A unique dual-layer oil capsule delivery system preserves vitamin C efficacy at room temperature and maximises absorption on application.
KEY INGREDIENTS
• 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid — A stabilised vitamin C derivative that penetrates deeper into the skin without causing the redness, stinging, or yellowing associated with pure L-ascorbic acid formulas.
• Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract (20%) — Sea Buckthorn extract naturally rich in Vitamins C, E, and K — the primary vitamin C source in this formula, providing antioxidant protection and brightening alongside the 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid.
• Niacinamide (5%) — Brightens uneven skin tone, reduces dullness, minimises pores, and reinforces the barrier — making this serum a comprehensive daily brightening and skin health step.
• Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water (Green Tea) — The soothing active in this formula — rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that calm irritation and make this serum safe for reactive and acne-prone skin.
• Adenosine — A clinically recognised anti-ageing active that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, adding an elasticity-supporting benefit to the brightening formula.
