Product details

Blemish relief + calm

Twelve hero ingredients in three teams of 3, 4 and 5, for blemish care, nourishment and soothing in one cream.

The name is the formula: Dr. Althea groups three ingredients for blemish care, four for nourishing and five for soothing. Niacinamide leads the list, resveratrol guards against everyday aggressors, and centella with heartleaf keeps reactive skin calm, all with no artificial fragrance.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • The blemish-care three

    Niacinamide, first on the list, helps fade the look of post-blemish marks and dullness. Resveratrol is an antioxidant that helps protect skin from external aggressors.

    No. 1, 2, 3 of 12 on the list

  • The nourishing four

    Beta-glucan and hyaluronic acid draw in moisture, with evening primrose and a red-algae extract to keep skin supple.

    No. 4, 5, 6, 7 of 12 on the list

  • The soothing five

    Centella and heartleaf are K-beauty's classic calmers for irritated, blemish-prone skin, joined by gardenia and lavender.

    No. 8, 9, 10, 11 of 12 on the list

  • Ceramide NP

    The fifth soother: a skin-identical lipid that helps the barrier hold on to moisture.
