This serum stands out thanks to the blend of ingredients that work together for a smoother, radiant skin. If you’re looking for a vitamin serum that is both effective and gentle, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s what makes the difference:

• Skin looks brighter and more radiant
• Dark spots and uneven complexion fade away
• Light texture that doesn’t stick or cling
• Absorbs quickly, even under makeup
• Suitable for sensitive and reactive skin
• Almost no scent, ideal for scent-sensitive users
• 63% sea buckthorn water as baSisis instead of plain water
• Contents: 30 ml

1. Thoroughly cleanse your face and pat dry.
2. Optionally apply a toner first and let it absorb.
3. Drop a small amount of serum onto your fingertips.
4. Gently pat and smooth the serum over your entire face.
5. Let it fully absorb before applying a moisturizer.
6. Always apply sunscreen in the morning afterwards.

Pair this serum with the 147 Barrier Cream to complete your routine. That cream strengthens your skin barrier and locks in the moisture from the serum.

Your complexion becomes more even and dark spots visibly fade. This is because the formula includes several ingredients that each target different points in the pigment production process. Niacinamide blocks pigment transfer to your skin cells, so spots fade gradually. Tranexamic acid targets stubborn pigmentation caused by sun damage or inflammation.

Besides brightening, the formula is full of soothing and hydrating ingredients like Centella ASiatica and hyaluronic acid. This makes your skin feel not only brighter but also calmer and plumper. As a Korean-style vitamin C serum, Dr. Althea vitamin C serum is smartly formulated to be both effective and gentle. A serum you can confidently use daily.

Yes, Dr. Althea vitamin C serum is explicitly designed for sensitive skin. The formula uses a stabilized form of vitamin C that stings less and causes less redness than classic vitamin C serums. Soothing extracts like Centella ASiatica and panthenol also help keep your skin calm, even if it reacts quickly to active ingredients.

The Dr. Althea vitamin C serum in the orange packaging is more active and focused on visible pigment correction and a clear Glow. The Gentle Vitamin C Serum for Skin Tone and Pigmentation (green packaging) is milder and simpler. Choose Boosting Serum if you have visible dark spots or very dull skin. Choose the Gentle variant if your skin is extremely sensitive or if you’re new to vitamin C and want to build up slowly.

After a few weeks of consistent use, you’ll notice your skin looks brighter and your complexion more even. Dark spots fade gradually. Use the serum daily, preferably in the morning, and always finish with sunscreen. Without SPF during the day, you lose much of the effect because the sun actually promotes pigmentation.

Many vitamin C serums use a high concentration of pure L-ascorbic acid. That works powerfully but stings sensitive skin and oxidizes quickly in the bottle. Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum - 30ml uses a stabilized form that stays more stable and causes less irritation. It also contains niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and alpha-arbutin, so you don’t need three separate products for a more even complexion.

Compared to the COSRX Vitamin C 23 Serum, this texture is more pleasant: not sticky and mixes well with other products. If you’re used to strong L-ascorbic acid serums and have severe pigmentation issues, a highly acidic serum might give more effect. But for anyone seeking a mild vitamin C booster that also supports the skin barrier, ordering Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum - 30ml is a smart choice. Want to soothe and repair your skin after the serum? The 345 Relief Cream from Dr. Althea is a logical follow-up.
