A brightening and moisturizing serum with sea buckthorn water, vitamin C, tranexamic acid, niacinamide, and alpha-arbutin that helps even out skin tone, treat visible hyperpigmentation, and give dull skin a clearer and more radiant glow.

Dr.Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum is a multifunctional serum developed for skin that feels dull, uneven, or has visible hyperpigmentation, while also needing hydration and barrier care.

Instead of relying solely on a high concentration of pure ascorbic acid, the formula combines sea buckthorn water (Hippophae Rhamnoides Water) with both 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbic Acid. Sea buckthorn is naturally rich in antioxidants and complements the serum's brightening profile, while the formula is designed to fit into a daily skincare routine.

The serum also combines several well-known ingredients for uneven skin tone: tranexamic acid, niacinamide, and alpha-arbutin. Together, they provide a well-thought-out formula for those who want to address dullness, uneven skin tone, and visible hyperpigmentation simultaneously.

To balance the active ingredients, the serum also contains Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, panthenol, beta-glucan, hyaluronic acid, Ceramide NP, and Bifida Ferment Lysate. These contribute moisturizing, soothing, and barrier-supporting properties.

The result is a light serum that combines radiance, a more even skin tone, and intense hydration without needing to fill your skincare routine with multiple separate serums.

Brightening Complex – for radiance and a more even skin tone

What makes Vitamin C Boosting Serum particularly interesting is the combination of several complementary ingredients for skin tone and radiance.

Vitamin C

The formula contains both:

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
Ascorbic Acid

They complement the serum's antioxidant and brightening properties and help the skin achieve a clearer and more even appearance.

Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic Acid is a popular ingredient in skincare for uneven skin tone and visible hyperpigmentation.

Here it works together with vitamin C, niacinamide, and alpha-arbutin for a more complete brightening routine.

Alpha-Arbutin

Alpha-arbutin complements the formula's focus on uneven skin tone and makes the serum particularly interesting for skin with visible dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is high on the ingredient list and contributes to both a more even and clearer skin appearance and to supporting the skin barrier.

The serum is primarily developed for dull skin, uneven skin tone, visible hyperpigmentation, and lack of radiance, while also providing hydrating and barrier-supporting properties.

What type of vitamin C does the serum contain?

The ingredient list includes both 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbic Acid.

Does Dr.Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum contain tranexamic acid?

Yes. The formula contains Tranexamic Acid along with vitamin C, niacinamide, and alpha-arbutin, among others.

Is the serum good for hyperpigmentation and dark spots?

The formula combines several ingredients used in skincare for a more even skin appearance, including tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, niacinamide, and vitamin C.

This makes the serum particularly relevant for a routine focused on uneven skin tone and visible dark spots.

Can Vitamin C Boosting Serum be used daily?

Yes, but how often the product should be used depends on skin tolerance and what other active products are in the routine.

For sensitive skin, the serum can be introduced gradually.

Can tranexamic acid and vitamin C be used together?

Yes. Dr.Althea already combines tranexamic acid and vitamin C in the same ready-made formula along with niacinamide and alpha-arbutin.

Can the serum be used on sensitive skin?

The formula contains several soothing and hydrating ingredients such as Centella Asiatica, panthenol, beta-glucan, and hyaluronic acid.

HOW TO USE

Apply after cleansing and any toner or essence.

Distribute a few drops evenly over face and neck and gently pat the serum until absorbed.

Then continue with face cream.

Can be used morning and/or evening.

When used in the morning, the skincare routine should always be completed with sunscreen.

Beauty Tip:
For skin with uneven skin tone, it's not always necessary to immediately combine the serum with several other strong brightening products.

Vitamin C Boosting Serum already contains Vitamin C + tranexamic acid + niacinamide + alpha-arbutin, which means it can serve as the main brightening step in your routine.

For sensitive skin, the product can be introduced gradually, for example, every other day, before increasing usage.

Safety Information:
For external use only. Do not apply to broken or severely irritated skin.

Avoid direct contact with eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Discontinue use if irritation or discomfort persists.

As the product contains several active ingredients, gradual introduction is recommended for sensitive skin.

Use sunscreen during the day.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
