DR Althea 15% Niacinamide Purity Serum 30ml
Why you'll love it
Dr.Althea 15% Niacinamide Purity Serum 30ml is a Korean oil-control and brightening serum with a high 15% concentration of niacinamide. It also contains zinc PCA to help balance oil, plus tea tree and rosemary leaf oils. The light, fast-absorbing texture helps refine the look of pores, smooth rough texture and even out dull skin tone. It is a great choice for people in Bangladesh with oily, combination or blemish-prone skin who struggle with shine, large-looking pores and dark marks in hot, humid weather.
Key Benefits
- Controls excess oil: Niacinamide and zinc PCA help balance oil so your face looks less shiny.
- Refines the look of pores: Helps pores look smaller and skin look smoother.
- Brightens uneven tone: 15% niacinamide helps fade the look of dark spots and acne marks.
- Smoother skin texture: Helps rough, bumpy-looking skin feel more even.
- Supports the skin barrier: Niacinamide, glycerin and trehalose help keep skin healthy and hydrated.
- Light, non-sticky feel: Absorbs quickly, so it layers easily under moisturizer and sunscreen.
Key Ingredients & How It Works
- Niacinamide (15%): A form of vitamin B3 that helps control oil, refine the look of pores, fade the look of marks and strengthen the barrier.
- Zinc PCA: Helps regulate oil and keep the skin looking clear.
- Tea Tree Leaf Oil: A plant oil traditionally used in skincare for blemish-prone skin.
- Rosemary Leaf Oil: A botanical oil that helps refresh and condition the skin.
- Trehalose & Glycerin: Humectants that keep the skin hydrated so it does not feel tight.
- Purslane & Grape Seed Extracts: Soothing and antioxidant plant extracts that help calm the skin.
- Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake): A fermented ingredient that helps skin look smoother and brighter.
How it works: Niacinamide works on several skin concerns at once. It helps reduce excess oil, supports the skin barrier and slows the movement of pigment to the skin surface, which helps marks look lighter. Zinc PCA adds extra oil control, while the hydrating ingredients keep skin comfortable. With regular use, skin looks clearer, smoother and more even.
Skin Type & Suitable For
- Best for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin.
- Also suitable for normal skin with dullness or uneven tone.
- Ideal if you have shiny T-zone, large-looking pores, rough texture or post-acne marks.
- Sensitive skin: 15% niacinamide is a strong level and the formula contains tea tree and rosemary oils. Patch test first and start slowly.
- A good serum for Bangladesh's hot, humid weather when skin gets oily quickly.
How to Use
- Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
- Tone: Apply toner if you use one.
- Apply: Take a few drops and spread evenly over your face.
- Pat in: Gently pat until fully absorbed.
- Moisturize: Follow with a lightweight moisturizer.

- Start slowly: Begin with once a day or every other day, then increase to twice a day if your skin is comfortable.
Important Suggestions
- Always patch test on your jawline or inner arm 24 hours before your first use.
- Don't overdo niacinamide. Avoid layering it with several other high-strength niacinamide products, as this may cause redness or breakouts.
- Use sunscreen every day (SPF 50+). Bangladesh has strong sun all year, and sun exposure can darken acne marks.
- Avoid the eye area and do not use it on broken or irritated skin.
- Close the cap tightly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Stop using it if redness, burning, itching or unusual breakouts happen.
