Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream

Why the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is a Post-Acne Essential

The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is a specialized regenerating ointment-gel designed to address the "aftermath" of breakouts. Unlike standard moisturizers, this multi-layered formula targets three major skin concerns: active blemishes, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots), and a weakened skin barrier. It is clinically tested as non-comedogenic, ensuring it provides deep nourishment without clogging pores.

3-4-5 Nutrient-Rich Solution

This cream is famously organized around its "3-4-5" philosophy, combining 12 powerhouse ingredients to revitalize your complexion:

• 3 Blemish-Relief Ingredients: A potent 10,000ppm blend of Niacinamide, plant extracts, and Resveratrol to fade stubborn acne marks and even out skin tone.
• 4 Nourishing Ingredients: Formulated with Ceramide NP, Panthenol, and plant-based hydrators that lock in moisture and deliver nutrients deep into the dermal layers.
• 5 Soothing Ingredients: A calming mix of Centella Asiatica (CICA), Tea Tree Leaf Water, and Madecassoside to rapidly reduce redness and soothe irritated or sensitive skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream good for acne-prone and oily skin?
A: Yes! The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is specifically formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning it is clinically tested not to clog pores. Its lightweight gel-cream texture provides deep hydration without the heavy, greasy feel that can trigger breakouts, making it ideal for oily and combination skin types. 

Q2: Can I use this cream with active ingredients like Retinol or Vitamin C?
A: Absolutely. In fact, many users use this cream as a "buffer" to soothe the skin when using strong actives like Retinol, AHAs, or BHAs. Its barrier-repairing ingredients, such as Panthenol and Ceramides, help minimize the irritation and dryness often associated with powerful anti-aging or exfoliating treatments. 

Q3: Is the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream fungal acne safe?
A: Yes, the newly reformulated version (Version 2) of the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is now fungal acne safe. You can identify the new version by checking the ingredient list—the updated formula features Tea Tree Leaf Water as a primary ingredient instead of Centella, specifically to cater to those with fungal acne-prone or highly sensitive skin.
