Dr. Althea Aqua Glowing Sunscreen 45ml

Dr. Althea Aqua Glowing Sunscreen is a Korean chemical sunscreen with SPF50+ PA++++ broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. The 45ml tube has a light, watery cream texture that spreads easily and leaves a fresh, dewy glow. It is made with bamboo water, niacinamide, panthenol, ceramide NP and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin while protecting it. It is made for anyone in Bangladesh who needs reliable daily sun protection and wants a comfortable, glowy sunscreen that also works well under makeup.

Key Benefits

• High UV protection: SPF50+ PA++++ helps protect against both sunburn (UVB) and sun-related ageing and dark spots (UVA).
• Dewy glow: Leaves a healthy, hydrated glow instead of a dry or chalky finish.
• Light and non-sticky: The watery cream absorbs quickly and does not feel heavy on the skin.
• Hydrates as it protects: Bamboo water, hyaluronic acid and panthenol keep skin moisturised through the day.
• Barrier support: Ceramide NP and sea grape extract help keep the skin barrier healthy.
• Makeup-friendly: Sits smoothly under makeup and can be used as a hydrating base.

Key Ingredients & How It Works

• Modern UV Filters: Ethylhexyl triazone, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, drometrizole trisiloxane and methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol work together for broad UVA and UVB protection.
• Bamboo Water (Bambusa Vulgaris Water): Gives the formula a light, hydrating base.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps even out the look of skin tone and supports the skin barrier.
• Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Soothes skin and helps reduce moisture loss.
• Sea Grape (Caulerpa Lentillifera) Extract: Helps keep skin hydrated and supports a healthy-looking moisture barrier.
• Ceramide NP & Sodium Hyaluronate: Strengthen the barrier and hold moisture in the skin.
• Adenosine & Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Adenosine helps with the look of fine lines, and vitamin E is an antioxidant.

How it works: The chemical UV filters absorb UVA and UVB rays before they can damage your skin. At the same time, the hydrating ingredients in the watery base keep your skin moisturised, so it looks fresh and glowing instead of dry or tight.

Skin Type & Suitable For

• Suitable for all skin types, and especially good for dry, combination-dry and dehydrated skin.
• Can suit sensitive skin too. It has no added fragrance. Do a patch test first.
• If you have very oily skin, the dewy finish may feel shiny in hot, humid weather. Use a small amount or blot during the day.
• Ideal for daily use: office, university, errands and everyday time outdoors.
• Note: It is not labelled water-resistant, so it is not the best choice alone for swimming or heavy sweating.

How to Use

1. Last skincare step: Use it in the morning after your moisturiser.
2. Use enough: Apply about two finger-lengths (around a quarter teaspoon) to your face and neck.
3. Timing: Apply 15–30 minutes before going out in the sun.
4. Before makeup: Let it set for 1–2 minutes before applying makeup.
5. Reapply: Reapply every 2 hours, and after sweating, swimming or wiping your face with a towel.
6. Remove at night: Double cleanse in the evening to remove the sunscreen fully.

Important Suggestions

• Wear sunscreen every day, even when it is cloudy or during the rainy season. UV rays in Bangladesh are strong all year.
• Always patch test on your jawline or inner arm 24 hours before your first use.
• Reapply more often on hot, humid days when you sweat a lot, or when you are outdoors for a long time.
• Avoid contact with the eyes. If it gets into your eyes, rinse well with water.
• Don't use it on broken skin, wounds or rashes.
• Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Don't leave it in a hot car or bag in the sun.
• Stop using it if redness, burning or itching happens.
