About Dr.Althea
Dr.Althea is a Seoul K-beauty label with a clinical streak and a gentle hand. The name borrows from the Greek word for healing, and that idea runs through everything: calm first, then repair, with formulas made for skin that reacts or flares rather than for passing trends. The range is vegan and priced to fit an everyday routine, part of why a quiet dermocosmetic pick became a viral favorite now carried across US retail. If your skin tends to run red, dry, or easily irritated, that reactive-skin focus is the thread tying the whole catalog together.
Most people meet the brand through its barrier and relief creams. The 345 Relief Cream and the richer 147 Barrier Cream anchor the face cream lineup: the 345 is a light gel-cream for reactive, blemish-prone skin, while the 147 leans on ceramides and several weights of hyaluronic acid for drier, more compromised skin. Around them sits a family that shares the same soothing DNA, including the sprayable 345 Relief Cream Mist for a midday reset over makeup, plus cleansers, essences, and targeted serums. The logic is simple: pick your cream by skin type, then layer the lighter steps as your skin asks for them.
What Dr.Althea Is Known For
The 345 Relief Cream is the signature. It pairs tea tree leaf water and centella asiatica with madecassoside, panthenol, and niacinamide, a soothing mix aimed at the look of post-acne marks and blemishes without the heaviness that can bother oily skin. It absorbs quickly, plays well under sunscreen, and is clinically tested as non-comedogenic, so it reads as a daily moisturizer first and a spot-calming step second. Sensitive and combination skin tend to get on with it best.
Beyond relief, Dr.Althea has built a real name in brightening and radiance. The Natural Radiance Essence, the Power Brightening Glutathione Cream, and the Vitamin C Boosting Serum all work on the look of dullness and uneven tone with actives like glutathione, niacinamide, and vitamin C, so a brighter, more even-looking finish is easy to build toward over time. Because those actives can leave skin more sensitive to light, a daily morning SPF is worth keeping in the routine.

Yes. The relief range centers on soothing ingredients like centella asiatica, madecassoside, and panthenol, and the 345 Relief Cream is clinically tested as non-comedogenic. As with any new product, patch test first if your skin reacts easily.
How do I use the 345 Relief Cream Mist?
Shake it, then spritz over clean skin as a hydrating step, or mist over makeup during the day to refresh and calm. It layers well before or after your moisturizer and is easy to keep in a bag for touch-ups.
