Dr. Althea
345 Relief Cream
Dr. Althea is a South Korean vegan skincare brand , founded in 2014, that combines scientific expertise with the power of natural ingredients. The brand was born from founder Evelyn Lee 's personal skin concerns and experiences and is deeply rooted in rigorous clinical research. Dr. Althea develops gentle yet effective formulas specifically designed to soothe sensitive skin and strengthen the skin barrier.
The name Dr. Althea reflects this philosophy: “Dr” stands for dermatological research and expertise, while “Althea” refers to restoration and care — inspired by Althea, the Greek goddess of healing, and the Mugunghwa, the national flower of South Korea, a symbol of pure and timeless beauty.
Dr. Althea products contain carefully selected ingredients such as plant-based squalane, amino acids, and resveratrol, and are free of parabens, sulfates, alcohol, and mineral oils. The range spans from toners and serums to masks and creams, with popular products like the 345 Relief Cream . Each product is designed to gently yet effectively support the skin, making the brand particularly suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
