The Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum is a brightening treatment designed to improve dark spots, uneven skin tone, and dullness while helping maintain balanced hydration.

Formulated with 63% Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Water, naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, it helps improve tone clarity and reduce visible dullness. Niacinamide (5%), Tranexamic Acid (2%), and Alpha-Arbutin work together to target pigmentation and post-acne marks, helping promote a clearer, more even-looking complexion.

Hydrating ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and Beta-Glucan help replenish moisture while Centella Asiatica Extract helps calm irritation and support the skin barrier.

The refreshing serum texture absorbs quickly without heaviness, making it suitable for daily use.
