Dr. Althea named this cream 345 because that’s exactly how it’s built: 3 blemish-relief actives + 4 nourishing actives + 5 soothing actives. Twelve hero ingredients, one tube. Niacinamide, resveratrol and hibiscus calm active blemishes and fade what they leave behind. Ceramide, panthenol, evening primrose flower and red algae (corallina officinalis) replace what the barrier has lost. Hyaluronic acid, beta-glucan, centella asiatica, gardenia florida and heartleaf (houttuynia cordata) soothe redness, irritation, and reactivity. The result is a gel-cream that does the recovery work most moisturisers leave on the table.
Who this is for: anyone with post-acne marks, redness, sensitivity, a barrier that flares with retinol or AHAs, eczema-prone or rosacea-tendency skin, post-laser or post-procedure recovery, or just summer-AC dehydration that’s tipped into reactivity. The texture is gel-light — sinks in fast, doesn’t pile, layers cleanly under SPF and makeup.
Use it as your final step AM and PM after serums. A pearl-sized amount is plenty. Vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic.
Pair it with the Some By Mi AHA-BHA-PHA range for a complete acne-recovery routine, or with the EQQUALBERRY Purple PDRN Serum if pores and texture are your concern.
Sourced direct from Korea. 100% authentic.
