Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream 50ml

Calm post-breakout redness, support your skin barrier and hydrate without clogging pores!

Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is a lightweight Korean facial moisturiser designed for acne-prone, sensitive and blemish-prone skin experiencing post-breakout redness, uneven texture and lingering blemish marks. This soothing daily face cream helps improve the appearance of stressed skin, support the natural moisture barrier and maintain comfortable hydration without a heavy or greasy finish. Its gentle approach to post-blemish skincare makes it particularly suitable for combination and oily skin that still needs effective moisturising care.

Even after a breakout has settled, skin can be left feeling dry, uncomfortable and uneven-looking. Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream helps address these everyday concerns with a no-added-oils formula that is also free from essential oils, providing lightweight hydration without unnecessary richness. The cream has been clinically tested as non-comedogenic by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences, making it a considered choice for skin prone to clogged pores and blemishes. It also fits easily into skincare routines featuring retinoids or other potentially drying active ingredients.

Why does acne-prone skin still need a moisturiser?

Acne-prone skin can still become dry and uncomfortable, particularly when using retinoids or other skincare ingredients that may cause dryness. Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream provides lightweight daily hydration and helps support the skin barrier without leaving an overly rich layer. Keeping skin comfortably moisturised can help improve the appearance of roughness and dryness while supporting a more balanced skincare routine.

How to use:

Daily moisturiser: As the final step of your skincare routine, apply an appropriate amount of Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream evenly over the face. Gently press into the skin until absorbed. Use morning and evening. During the day, follow with SPF sun protection.

Sandwich method with retinoids: Apply a thin layer of 345 Relief Cream first, follow with your retinoid product according to its instructions, then apply another layer of moisturiser to help maintain hydration and comfort. This technique may help reduce dryness associated with active skincare. If using prescription treatments, follow your dermatologist's guidance on application order.
