DR ALTHEA VITAMIN C BOOSTING SERUM

Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum is widely considered one of the best “beginner-friendly” Vitamin C serums because it focuses on brightening without the stinging or irritation often caused by pure Ascorbic Acid.
It is designed for a “glass skin” effect, using a blend of natural extracts and stable Vitamin C derivatives. Here are the most

important ingredients:
20% Vitamin Boosting Complex: Instead of just plain water, the base is a massive blend of Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides), which is naturally loaded with Vitamin C, and other fruit extracts like Lemon and Orange.

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: This is a highly stable Vitamin C derivative. Unlike pure Vitamin C, it doesn’t oxidize (turn brown) as quickly and is much gentler on sensitive skin while still effectively fading dark spots.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Works in tandem with the Vitamin C to stop pigment from surfacing, while also refining pore texture and controlling oil.

The “Soothing & Glow” Support
Tocopherol (Vitamin E): When combined with Vitamin C, it creates a “synergy” that doubles the antioxidant protection against sun damage and pollution.

Feramic Acid: Helps stabilize the formula and boosts the overall brightening power.

Panthenol (Vitamin B5) & Algae Extract: These ensure the serum is hydrating and calming, preventing that “tight” or “dry” feeling some Vitamin C serums leave behind.

What It Helps With

1 Dullness: It gives an immediate “lit-from-within” glow to tired or sallow skin.
2 Post-Acne Marks: It targets the red and brown spots left behind after a breakout.
3 Early Aging: Its antioxidant properties protect your skin from the environmental stressors that cause fine lines and loss of elasticity.
4 Uneven Skin Tone: Gradually smooths out blotchiness for a more uniform complexion.

Tip for Best Results
The “Morning Hero”: While you can use it at night, Vitamin C is best used in the morning. It acts as a secondary shield for your sunscreen to fight off UV-induced free radicals.

Storage: Even though it uses a stable derivative, it’s best to keep it in a cool, dark place (like a drawer or skincare fridge) to keep it fresh for as long as possible.
