Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream

A lightweight recovery cream for post-breakout marks, redness and a compromised skin barrier.

A soothing daily moisturiser specifically designed for acne-prone and sensitive skin that still feels stressed after a breakout. The lightweight formula helps calm visible redness, improve uneven texture and reduce the appearance of lingering post-blemish marks while restoring essential hydration.

Niacinamide works on uneven tone and post-breakout discolouration, while panthenol, Centella Asiatica, madecassoside, beta-glucan and ceramide NP help soothe and strengthen a weakened skin barrier. Resveratrol and green tea provide antioxidant support, while multiple forms of hyaluronic acid replenish moisture without a heavy or greasy finish.

Clinically tested as non-comedogenic and formulated without added oils or essential oils, making it particularly suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Acne-prone skin doesn't always need more acne treatment. Sometimes it needs recovery.

After a breakout – or while using ingredients such as retinoids and exfoliating acids – skin can become dry, red, sensitised and uncomfortable. 345 Relief Cream focuses on restoring that balance while still addressing the marks and uneven texture breakouts can leave behind.

We especially love the combination of niacinamide for uneven tone with panthenol, Centella, madecassoside and ceramide NP for barrier support. The texture is lightweight enough for acne-prone skin but still gives compromised skin the hydration and comfort it needs.

WHO IT’S FOR

Acne-prone and blemish-prone skin
Sensitive or easily irritated skin
Post-breakout redness and lingering blemish marks
Uneven skin tone and texture
A weakened or compromised skin barrier
Skin experiencing dryness from retinoids, acids or acne treatments
Anyone wanting barrier support without a rich or greasy moisturiser

HOW TO USE
