Dr.Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum

Gentle Vitamin C Serum is a beginner-friendly brightening serum made with sensitive skin in mind. The fresh, lightweight texture dries down without stickiness and sits comfortably under moisturizer, and the brand notes that it does not leave a yellow tint behind. Sea buckthorn fruit water and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a vitamin C derivative, help visibly brighten dullness, while niacinamide helps even the look of tone. Green tea leaf water, allantoin and tea tree leaf extract help keep skin feeling calm. It suits sensitive skin and anyone introducing vitamin C to a routine for the first time.

After cleansing and toning, let skin dry fully, then pat a few drops over the face and follow with moisturizer. Use morning or evening, and always finish with sunscreen when using it in the daytime. If you are new to vitamin C, start every other day and build up as your skin allows.
