Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum — Vitamin C Face Serum

The defining feature of Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum is its combination of Vitamin C, 5% Niacinamide, 2% Tranexamic Acid, and 63% Sea Buckthorn Water.

Sea Buckthorn Water (63%) forms the foundation of the formula. Rich in naturally occurring antioxidant compounds, sea buckthorn helps support skin radiance and a refreshed-looking complexion.

Niacinamide (5%), a form of Vitamin B3, helps improve uneven skin tone, visibly refine pores, reduce dullness, and support the skin's natural protective barrier.

Tranexamic Acid (2%) targets the appearance of uneven pigmentation and dark spots, helping promote a more balanced and uniform-looking complexion.

Vitamin C, in the form of Ascorbic Acid and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, provides antioxidant benefits and helps improve skin brightness. The stable Vitamin C derivative complements the serum's targeted brightening action.

To maintain hydration, the formula includes a Hyaluronic Acid Complex, which helps attract and retain moisture, smooth the appearance of dehydration lines, and support a plumper-looking complexion.

Centella Asiatica, Panthenol, Beta-Glucan, and Bisabolol provide soothing and conditioning benefits, helping maintain skin comfort.

Ceramide NP helps support the skin's moisture barrier and reduce excessive moisture loss.

The lightweight texture absorbs comfortably into the skin without leaving a heavy or greasy residue, making it suitable for layering with other skincare products.

With regular use, the complexion appears brighter, smoother, and more even, while the skin feels hydrated and refreshed.

Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum is particularly suitable for dull, dehydrated, and uneven-looking skin, including complexions with visible post-acne marks and pigmentation.
