The K-Beauty Brightening Serum Your Skin Has Been Waiting For
Most Vitamin C serums come with a catch — they oxidise quickly, turn yellow, smell unpleasant, or irritate sensitive skin. Dr. Althea's Vitamin C Boosting Serum sidesteps all of that. Formulated with a clever, stable form of Vitamin C alongside a rich blend of complementary actives, this serum delivers all the brightening power you want — without any of the drawbacks you've come to expect.
The result? Skin that looks clearer, more even, and genuinely healthy — not just on day one, but week after week.
Why Skinelle Shoppers Are Reaching for This Every Morning
A 20% Vita Boosting Complex — 9 Vitamins in One Serum Rather than relying on a single source of Vitamin C, this serum harnesses a 20% complex of nine different vitamins — working together to brighten, protect, and revitalise the skin from multiple angles at once. This is comprehensive vitamin nutrition for your face, delivered in one lightweight daily drop.
Sea Buckthorn Extract — Nature's Vitamin C Powerhouse At the heart of this formula is Hippophae Rhamnoides, better known as Sea Buckthorn — a natural ingredient that contains significantly more Vitamin C than citrus fruits. Rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, it brightens dull skin, soothes inflammation, and helps defend against the early signs of ageing.
Targets Dark Spots & Uneven Skin Tone A concentrated brightening blend of 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Niacinamide, and D-Panthenol works to suppress melanin production, fade existing dark spots, and smooth out uneven patches — so your skin tone looks consistently clearer and more refined over time.
Tranexamic Acid for Deeper Pigmentation For those dealing with stubborn pigmentation, the addition of Tranexamic Acid offers a deeper level of correction — calming inflammation and reducing discolouration without irritating or sensitising the skin.
8 Types of Hyaluronic Acid — Hydration Without Stickiness Unlike many brightening serums that leave skin feeling tight or stripped, this one actively replenishes moisture. With eight forms of Hyaluronic Acid layered throughout the formula, it delivers deep, lasting hydration that keeps skin feeling plump, comfortable, and soft — never tacky.
Lightweight, Fast-Absorbing & Suitable for Sensitive Skin Free from artificial colours, synthetic fragrances, and harsh additives, this serum is gentle enough for daily use on even the most reactive skin types. The texture is fluid and non-greasy — absorbing quickly and sitting beautifully under SPF and makeup.
No Yellowing. No Unpleasant Scent. One of the most common complaints with Vitamin C serums is discolouration and off-putting oxidation smells. Dr. Althea's stabilised formula avoids both — staying clear and fresh throughout its use.
Clinically Tested — Real Results Clinical trials showed a measurable improvement in pigmentation in just 10 days — making this one of the most effective and fast-acting Vitamin C serums available in the UK K-beauty market today
How to Use
After cleansing and toning, dispense a few drops onto your fingertips or directly onto the skin. Press gently into the face and neck, working from the centre outward. Tap lightly to encourage full absorption before layering your moisturiser. Use daily — morning and evening — for best results. Always follow with SPF during daytime use.
