Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum

Product Description

Brighten and even your skin tone gently with the Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum. This lightweight, watery-gel serum combines a stabilized vitamin C derivative (3‑O‑ethyl ascorbic acid), niacinamide, and sea buckthorn (hippophae) fruit water to fade dark spots and dullness without irritating sensitive skin. Oil capsules ensure a smooth, non-sticky finish, while camellia leaf water, allantoin, and adenosine hydrate and soothe—ideal for everyday use under moisturizer and SPF.

Active Ingredients

• 3‑O‑Ethyl Ascorbic Acid – a gentle yet effective vitamin C form that brightens and protects

• Niacinamide (~3%) – strengthens barrier, controls oil, fades hyperpigmentation

• Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract – rich in natural vitamin C and antioxidants

• Allantoin & Adenosine – soothe, calm inflammation, and support collagen production

Notes

• Formulated for sensitive skin; praised for its gentle efficacy in fading dark spots within days to weeks

• Water-based with oil capsule delivery—absorbs quickly with no tacky residue

• Vegan, fragrance-free, fungal-acne-safe; well tolerated by most skin types

• Users report minor breakouts or tingling—patch testing recommended, especially for first-time vitamin C users

• Best used daily (AM/PM), but begins slowly for sensitive skin; always pair with SPF during the day
