Dr.Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum, A Gentle Route to Brighter Looking Skin
Straight vitamin C can be sharp on sensitive skin, so this serum takes a softer path. It pairs a stable vitamin C derivative, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, with niacinamide and a base rich in sea buckthorn extract, a fruit known for its own vitamin content and warm orange color.
On top of that sits a run of B and other vitamins, the reason for the boosting name, along with hyaluronic acid for water and adenosine for a smooth look. The texture is light and runny, made to sink in fast under the rest of a morning or evening routine.

Dr.Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum Frequently Asked Questions
Is this strong vitamin C?
+
It is a gentler take. Instead of a high dose of pure ascorbic acid, it uses a stable derivative with niacinamide and sea buckthorn, which tends to be easier on sensitive skin.
Can I use it with niacinamide products?
+
Yes. Niacinamide is already in the serum, and it pairs fine with other niacinamide steps in your routine.
Morning or night?
+
Either works. Most people use vitamin C in the morning for its antioxidant support, then follow with sunscreen.
Why is the serum orange tinted?
+
Sea buckthorn extract carries a natural orange color, so a warm tint in the bottle is expected and not a sign of spoilage.
Will it sting?
+
The derivative form is chosen to be low sting, but as with any active, start slowly if your skin is very reactive and watch how it responds.
Does it replace a moisturizer?
+
No. It is a lightweight serum, so follow it with a moisturizer to seal in the benefits, especially if your skin leans dry.
Usage Warnings

Avoid the eyesKeep the serum clear of the eye area.
If irritation occursStop use if redness or stinging appears and does not settle.
Store away from light and heatKeep the bottle capped and out of direct sun so the vitamin C stays stable.
