Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream FAQ
Who is the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream best suited for?
The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is ideal for normal, combination, oily and sensitive skin, especially if your skin is dehydrated, irritated or experiencing a weakened skin barrier. Its lightweight gel-cream texture delivers lasting hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes. The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is a popular choice for acne-prone skin thanks to its lightweight, non-greasy texture and soothing ingredients. It helps replenish hydration and calm irritation without feeling heavy. However, as with any skincare product, individual skin responses can vary, so we recommend patch testing before first use.
Is it suitable for repairing a damaged skin barrier?
Yes. The formula contains barrier-supporting ingredients including Panthenol, Ceramide NP, Centella Asiatica Extract and Hyaluronic Acid, which work together to hydrate, soothe and support a healthy skin barrier. Many users enjoy using it when their skin feels sensitised from environmental stressors or overuse of active ingredients.
Is it suitable for dry skin?
The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream provides lightweight, long-lasting hydration and is best suited to normal, combination, oily and sensitive skin.
If you have dry or very dry skin, we recommend the Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream instead. Its richer, more nourishing formula is specifically designed to deeply moisturise and strengthen the skin barrier, making it a better choice for skin that needs extra hydration and comfort.
Does it feel greasy?
No. The cream has a lightweight gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy or sticky finish, making it suitable for both morning and evening use.
Can I use it both morning and night?
Yes. The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream can be used as the final moisturising step in both your morning and evening skincare routine.
Can I use it with retinol or exfoliating acids?
Yes. Thanks to its soothing and hydrating ingredients, the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream pairs well with retinol, retinal and exfoliating acids, helping to replenish moisture and support the skin barrier after active treatments.
Will it help with acne marks?
The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream contains Niacinamide, which helps brighten the complexion and improve the appearance of post-acne marks over time. While it supports overall skin health and radiance, persistent pigmentation or acne scarring may benefit from additional targeted treatments such as vitamin C, tranexamic acid or retinoids.
Is it fragrance-free?
The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream contains no added artificial fragrance, making it suitable for those who prefer fragrance-free skincare. You may notice a very mild natural scent from the botanical extracts, but no perfume has been added.
How long does it take to absorb?
The lightweight texture absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a smooth, comfortable finish without stickiness. It layers well under sunscreen and makeup once fully absorbed.
Has the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream been reformulated?
Yes. Dr. Althea has updated the formula of the 345 Relief Cream to include vegan Centella PDRN, along with other ingredient changes designed to further support sensitive skin and the skin barrier.
While the cream continues to provide lightweight hydration and soothing care, the ingredient list has been updated from the original version. If you've used the product previously, we recommend reviewing the current ingredient list if you have known ingredient sensitivities or allergies.
What is Centella PDRN?
Centella PDRN is a vegan, plant-derived form of PDRN sourced from Centella Asiatica and rice, rather than salmon. It is included to help support the skin barrier, soothe irritation and promote healthier-looking skin, making it suitable for those looking for a vegan-friendly alternative to traditional animal-derived PDRN.
