Gentle Vitamin C Serum

The Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, moisturizing serum that visibly brightens the complexion and promotes a more even skin tone. It was specially developed for sensitive skin and for anyone looking to try a vitamin C product for the first time. With a gentle yet effective formula, it revitalizes dull skin, reduces dark spots, and provides a fresh, radiant glow – without feeling sticky or heavy on the skin.

At its core is Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract (Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract), which makes up 20% of the formula and is naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. It helps the skin even out its tone and promotes natural radiance. Additionally, niacinamide ensures a more even complexion, reduces visible hyperpigmentation, and refines skin texture. Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water (Green Tea) soothes and refreshes the skin, while Allantoin and Bifida Ferment Filtrate nourish the skin and support its protective barrier.

A particular highlight is the Oil-Capsule System, which encapsulates moisturizing ingredients like Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride in tiny capsules and gently releases them upon application. This intensely hydrates the skin without making it feel greasy. Further ingredients such as 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stable form of vitamin C, and Adenosine help to smooth the skin and promote its vitality. The serum remains clear and stable – it does not tend to yellow, thus preserving its freshness down to the last drop.

The Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum is suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive, dehydrated, or blemish-prone skin. It revives dull skin, provides moisture, and leaves the skin feeling pleasantly fresh and nourished.
