Description
The Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum 30ml is a gentle Korean brightening serum designed to bring radiance back to dull-looking skin, improve the appearance of dark spots and support a more even-looking complexion, while respecting sensitive skin that cannot tolerate strong vitamin C formulas.
The serum is widely sold as the "Gentle Vitamin C Serum 20%". According to the brand description, the 20% refers to sea buckthorn, a vitamin-rich botanical, and not to pure vitamin C. Vitamin C itself comes as a stable derivative, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which is milder on the skin than classic ascorbic acid.
Key benefits
- Gives dull skin a brighter, fresher look.
- Helps improve the appearance of dark spots and discolouration.
- Supports a more even-looking skin tone.
- Soothes thanks to green tea leaf water and allantoin.
- Light, non-sticky texture for daily use.

- 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: a stable vitamin C derivative for brightening.
