he Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is a highly popular Korean skincare ointment-style moisturizer designed specifically for those dealing with post-acne marks, sensitivity, and a compromised skin barrier.

It gets its name from its structured approach to skin repair, focusing on a "3-4-5" nutrient formulation. Here is a breakdown of what makes this cream a cult favorite:

Key Ingredient Focus

The cream is formulated with a specific ratio of active ingredients to target different skin concerns:

• 3 Multi-Binding Nutrients: Panthenol, Hyaluronic Acid, and Ceramide NP to deeply hydrate and lock in moisture.

• 4 Nourishing Ingredients: Niacinamide, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract, Resveratrol, and Adenosine to brighten dark spots and provide anti-aging benefits.

• 5 Soothing Extracts: Centella Asiatica (Cica), Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem (Prickly Pear), Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf), Gardenia Florida Fruit, and Lavender Flower to calm inflammation and redness.

  Who is it for?

  • Skin Types: Ideal for Oily, Combination, and Acne-Prone skin.

  • Concerns: Those struggling with lingering red marks after a breakout, uneven skin tone, or dehydration.

  • Clean Beauty: It is a vegan-certified, "clean" formula, free from artificial fragrances and dyes.

  Pro-Tip: Because it is lightweight and soothing, it works beautifully as a final step in your evening routine to "seal in" serums, or as a breathable base under makeup during the day.
