Key Ingredients & Their Skincare Benefits

🍊 Ascorbyl Glucoside (Stabilized Vitamin C)

A gentle, water-soluble derivative of pure Vitamin C, Ascorbyl Glucoside is highly stable and less irritating than L-ascorbic acid. Upon contact with the skin, it converts into active Vitamin C, helping to brighten skin tone, reduce pigmentation, and support collagen synthesis. It’s ideal for those who want visible results without the harshness of traditional vitamin C products.

🌿 Centella Asiatica (Cica) Extract

Rich in antioxidants and amino acids, Centella Asiatica is well-known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and barrier-repairing properties. It helps calm redness, reduce sensitivity, and support the skin’s healing process—especially beneficial for reactive or acne-prone skin.

💧 Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)

A hydrating powerhouse, Sodium Hyaluronate draws moisture into the skin to keep it plump, smooth, and soft. This form of hyaluronic acid penetrates deeper layers of the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve elasticity.

🌾 Beta-Glucan

Derived from oats, Beta-Glucan is a gentle ingredient known for its intensive hydration, skin-calming, and healing effects. It enhances the skin’s moisture retention and helps reduce redness and irritation.

🧴 Allantoin

A skin-softening and conditioning agent, Allantoin supports gentle exfoliation and cell turnover, leaving the skin visibly smoother and more refined. It also helps to protect and soothe dry or compromised skin.

Who Should Use the Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum?

This serum is perfectly suited for:

• Sensitive skin that cannot tolerate traditional Vitamin C products

• Acne-prone skin needing gentle brightening and post-inflammatory healing

• Dry or dehydrated skin looking for antioxidant hydration and support

• Dull or uneven skin tone in need of daily brightening and balance

• Combination skin requiring a lightweight, non-greasy formula

• Early signs of aging, including fine lines and uneven skin texture

How to Use:

After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount of the Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum to your face and neck. Gently pat it into the skin until fully absorbed. Use once or twice daily. If using in the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin and maximize results.

Pro Tip: For best results, pair with a hydrating toner and barrier-repairing moisturizer to boost skin resilience and hydration.

What’s the Difference Between Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum and Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum?

The Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum and the Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum differ primarily in their formulation strength and target skin concerns. The Gentle Vitamin C Serum is ideal for sensitive or easily irritated skin, using a low-irritation, stabilized form of Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside) along with soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica, beta-glucan, and allantoin to brighten and calm the skin gently. In contrast, the Vitamin C Boosting Serum is formulated with a higher concentration of Vitamin C derivatives and added brightening agents for more noticeable results in reducing pigmentation, dark spots, and overall dullness. It’s best suited for normal to resilient skin types looking for a more intensive brightening and antioxidant treatment.
