[Dr. Althea] Gentle Vitamin C serum 30ml

Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Water, also known as Sea Buckthorn Fruit Water, makes up 20% of the formula.
Rich in naturally occurring plant compounds, it is used to help refresh dull-looking skin and support a healthy-looking glow.

The formula contains 5% Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3 widely used in brightening skincare.
It helps improve the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone while supporting a smoother, more refined-looking complexion.

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a stable Vitamin C derivative included to support brightening and antioxidant care.
Combined with Niacinamide, it helps improve the appearance of dullness
and uneven pigmentation over time.

This formula uses a Vitamin C derivative rather than relying on high concentrations of pure L-Ascorbic Acid, making it an approachable
option for those introducing Vitamin C into their skincare routine.

Lightweight Oil-Capsule Moisture Care

The serum features an oil-capsule system designed to disperse during application. Its lightweight texture spreads easily and absorbs
comfortably, helping leave the skin feeling soft and moisturized without a heavy, sticky finish.

Soothing Skin-Conditioning Ingredients

• Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water – provides antioxidant and skin-conditioning care
• Allantoin – helps soothe and condition the skin
• Adenosine – provides skin-conditioning care for a smoother-looking complexion
• Bifida Ferment Filtrate – helps condition the skin
• Tea Tree Leaf Extract – provides additional skin-conditioning care

Fresh, Non-Sticky Finish

Designed for comfortable daily layering, the serum absorbs easily under moisturizer and sunscreen. It is a practical choice for those
who want to add brightening care without a heavy or overly rich skincare texture.

How to Use

1. After cleansing and toning, allow the skin to dry completely.
2. Dispense a few drops and spread evenly over the face.
3. Gently pat until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer.
4. If you are new to Vitamin C, begin using it every other day
   and gradually increase frequency according to your skin’s comfort.
