{"product_id":"dr-althea-vitamin-c-boosting-serum-30ml","title":"Vitamin C Boosting Serum","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description of Vitamin C Boosting Serum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost vitamin C serums lead with a single high percentage of one vitamin C form. This one is built differently. Four separate tone focused actives run together. A \u003ca href=\"\/products\/anua-niacinamide-10-txa-4-serum-30ml\"\u003e10% niacinamide and TXA serum\u003c\/a\u003e takes a higher niacinamide and TXA route in the same serum step. Instead of plain water, they sit in a 63% sea buckthorn water base. Eight types of hyaluronic acid add another layer of moisture support within the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe focus is dark spots, visible discoloration and the dull, uneven look that comes with them. Post acne marks and hyperpigmentation also fit the serum's tone focused use. A \u003ca href=\"\/products\/axis-y-dark-spot-correcting-glow-serum-50ml\"\u003e5% niacinamide dark spot serum\u003c\/a\u003e offers a simpler niacinamide focused serum option for dark spots and post acne marks. Centella asiatica, panthenol, beta glucan and a ceramide support tolerability within the formula. This matters in a product that combines several actives at once. Dr. Althea also positions the serum for daily use and sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance free claim is worth singling out, because it holds up against the ingredient list rather than resting on wording alone. There is no fragrance, no parfum and no essential oil in it. The serum is also vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Highlights of Dr.Althea Vitamin C Serum\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e● 63% sea buckthorn water as the base of the formula\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e● 5% niacinamide and 2% tranexamic acid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e● Two vitamin C forms, plus alpha arbutin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e● Fragrance free and essential oil free, with no fragrance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e● Vegan per Dr.Althea, in a 30 ml dropper bottle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use Dr.Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum 30ml\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the dropper to dispense a small amount onto the face, then tap gently until fully absorbed. Apply on clean skin at the serum step, before your moisturizer. It can be used in the morning or evening. When you use it in the morning, follow with sunscreen. A \u003ca href=\"\/products\/skin1004-hyalu-cica-water-fit-sun-serum\"\u003ehyaluronic acid and centella sun serum\u003c\/a\u003e can follow as the final morning step with SPF50+ PA++++ protection and a light serum texture. Patch test before first full use if your skin reacts easily. If you are new to vitamin C, start every other day and increase use as your skin adjusts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIngredients and Roles of Vitamin C Boosting Serum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSea buckthorn water at 63%. The base of the formula rather than an added extract, and the reason this reads as a botanical vitamin C serum rather than a plain ascorbic acid one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNiacinamide at 5%. A tone focused active that also contributes to barrier support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranexamic acid at 2%. Used cosmetically for the appearance of stubborn dark patches and uneven areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo vitamin C forms. 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a stable derivative, alongside pure ascorbic acid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpha arbutin. A fourth tone focused ingredient, aimed at the look of dark spots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentella asiatica, panthenol, beta glucan and bisabolol. The soothing side of the formula, present to keep a multi active serum comfortable in daily use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramide NP. A barrier ingredient, unusual to find in a vitamin C serum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTocopherol and ubiquinone. Antioxidants that also help support vitamin C stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBifida ferment lysate and adenosine. It helps support the skin barrier, while adenosine supports smoother looking skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety Information of Vitamin C Boosting Serum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatch test before first full use, particularly if vitamin C has irritated you before. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Close the bottle after use and store away from direct sunlight and heat, which matters for any formula containing ascorbic acid. Introduce one new active product at a time. For external use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Dr.Althea Vitamin C Serum Works?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula spreads its tone work across four ingredients instead of concentrating it in one. Niacinamide at 5%, tranexamic acid at 2%, alpha arbutin and two vitamin C forms target the appearance of discoloration. This combination also means no single active percentage needs to be especially high. A \u003ca href=\"\/products\/medicube-deep-vita-c-capsule-cream-55g\"\u003evitamin C capsule cream\u003c\/a\u003e moves vitamin C and niacinamide into the moisturizer step with an adjustable capsule and gel texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 63% sea buckthorn water base is doing double duty. It replaces most of the plain water in the formula and contributes to the botanical vitamin content the product is named after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supporting half is built for daily tolerance. Centella asiatica, panthenol, beta glucan, bisabolol and ceramide NP support hydration and the skin barrier. Tocopherol and ubiquinone add antioxidant support alongside vitamin C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Use Dr.Althea Serum 30ml?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose this serum if dark spots, visible discoloration or a dull, uneven looking tone are your focus, and you want more than one tone active working at a time. If visible pores are part of the same concern, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/celimax-pore-dark-spot-brightening-cream-35ml\"\u003epore and dark spot brightening cream\u003c\/a\u003e combines pore care and dark spot care in the moisturizer step. The lightweight, non-sticky texture suits oily and combination skin. The hyaluronic acid and sea buckthorn base keep it workable for normal and drier skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a strong fit if you avoid fragrance. Many vitamin C serums marketed as gentle still carry scent or aromatic plant oils, and this one carries neither.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo points before you order. The formula runs four tone actives plus two vitamin C forms, so introduce it on its own rather than alongside another new active. And check the front of the carton on arrival: Dr.Althea has sold an earlier version of this serum positioned on a 20% complex, and the two are still listed side by side in this region. This page describes the 63% version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Vitamin C Boosting Serum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on the appearance of dark spots and discoloration through four tone focused actives rather than relying on one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits routines that avoid scent entirely, since nothing aromatic appears in the formula.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydrates while it works, with the brand citing 8 types of hyaluronic acid alongside the sea buckthorn water base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the skin barrier, with ceramide NP, panthenol and centella asiatica in the formula.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayers easily at the serum step, since the texture is lightweight and non sticky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExpected Results of the Vitamin C Boosting Serum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin that feels hydrated and comfortable from first use, since the hyaluronic acid and sea buckthorn base act on the surface immediately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA gradual softening in how dark spots and discoloration look, building through consistent use rather than after a few applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA more even and less dull looking tone over time, which is what the four active combinations are formulated to support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lightweight finish that sits under a moisturizer or sunscreen without a tacky layer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResults that vary between people, depending on skin, how established the discoloration is, and sun exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter tone outcomes when paired with daily sunscreen, since unprotected sun exposure keeps existing spots looking more pronounced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo published timeline or percentage from us.

Dr.Althea previously sold a version positioned on a 20% complex, and both versions still circulate in this region under the same product name. The percentage on the carton is therefore the reliable way to tell them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable if I cannot use fragranced skincare?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, there is no fragrance, parfum or essential oil in the formula, and the brand states it is free from artificial colouring and fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with a retinoid?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people keep vitamin C for the morning and a retinoid for the evening rather than layering them.
