Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream 50ml

The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is structured as a nutrient-rich, regenerating ointment gel-cream designed to address post-acne recovery, target persistent blemishes, and repair a compromised skin barrier. Its name comes from its formulation philosophy—combining key target areas with concentrated active ingredients to provide lightweight, non-greasy relief.

1. Fades Post-Acne Marks & Brightens Blemishes

• The Active: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) at a concentrated $10,000 \text{ ppm}$.
• The Benefit: It actively inhibits melanin transfer to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and dark spots left behind by breakouts. It also helps regulate sebum production, keeping oily zones balanced without stripping the skin.

2. Soothes Redness & Irritation

• The Actives: Panthenol (Vitamin B5) at $10,000 \text{ ppm}$ alongside Centella Asiatica and Beta-glucan.
• The Benefit: This combination acts as a rapid calming agent for active inflammation, morning-after redness, or skin irritated by harsh active treatments. It delivers immediate cooling relief to reactive skin.

3. Delivers Deep, Multi-Layered Hydration

• The Actives: Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Prickly Pear) Stem Extract ($10,000 \text{ ppm}$) paired with Hyaluronic Acid.
• The Benefit: Unlike heavy creams that sit on top of the skin, its multi-layered structure ensures plant-based hydrators penetrate deeper into the skin layers. Prickly pear extract provides exceptional moisture binding, making it highly effective for dehydrated yet acne-prone skin.

4. Barrier Repair Without Clogging Pores

• The Actives: Ceramide NP and supportive Peptides.
• The Benefit: It locks in nutrients and moisture by fortifying the intercellular lipid matrix (the skin's natural shield). Because it is clinically tested as non-comedogenic, it repairs a broken skin barrier without triggering new acne or causing congestion.

Texture & Finish: It features a lightweight, watery gel-ointment texture that absorbs quickly with a silky, non-greasy finish. It is 100% vegan-certified, EWG Green Grade-rated, and free from artificial fragrances and colors, making it safe for highly sensitive skin types.
