Dr. Althea's Gentle Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, revitalizing brightening serum designed to improve skin tone, smooth texture, and restore a healthy, radiant glow, without irritation or heaviness. Formulated with a powerful yet gentle blend of niacinamide, 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid (a stable vitamin C derivative), and vitamin C-rich Hippophae Rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) fruit extract, this serum helps fade the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation while promoting a clearer, more even complexion. It also supports brighter, fresher-looking skin by helping neutralize buildup and dullness, leaving the skin feeling polished and refreshed over time.

To keep the formula comfortable for sensitive skin, it contains 6,767ppm of Camellia Sinensis (green tea) leaf water, which helps calm redness and soothe irritation while providing antioxidant support. The serum’s unique texture includes vitamin-packed oil capsules that melt into the skin as you apply, delivering nourishment without leaving any greasy residue. Thanks to its watery, fast-absorbing consistency, it sinks in quickly for a smooth, non-sticky finish, making it easy to layer under other skincare and makeup. Vegan and made with EWG Green Grade ingredients, this gentle formula is also free from artificial colorants and added fragrance, making it an ideal daily vitamin C option for those who want brightening results with a mild, skin-friendly feel.
