Dr.Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum 30ml

Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Water — 20% — naturally rich in vitamin C, brightens dullness and evens skin tone

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid — stable, non-yellowing vitamin C that fades dark spots

Niacinamide — brightens, evens tone, and strengthens the skin barrier

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Water — soothes sensitive, irritated skin with antioxidant care

Adenosine — smooths fine lines and supports firmness

Allantoin — soothes and softens

Bifida Ferment Filtrate — supports skin renewal and resilience

Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract — keeps the formula acne-safe

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride — oil capsule system that locks in hydration without stickiness

Propanediol + Butylene Glycol — lightweight humectants for silky absorption

1. After cleansing, apply your toner to prep and hydrate the skin.
2. Apply 2-3 drops of the serum evenly over face and neck.
3. Gently tap for full absorption.
4. During the day: always finish with sunscreen. While vitamin C offers some antioxidant protection, daily SPF is essential to shield skin from UV damage and keep your brightening results.

For beginners:

• Start once a day (morning or evening) and increase to twice daily as your skin adjusts.
• If layering with other actives, use vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night — never together.

Pro tip: This serum pairs beautifully with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid but avoid layering with strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA) in the same routine — keep them in separate AM/PM steps to avoid sensitivity.
