Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream

Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is a lightweight, non-comedogenic gel-cream made for post-acne, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. Formulated with Centella Asiatica, Niacinamide, and a blend of soothing plant extracts, it calms redness and irritation while supporting the skin’s natural barrier — a gentle daily relief cream for anyone recovering from breakouts.

What Is Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream?
It’s a gel-cream hybrid with a silky, fast-absorbing texture that never feels greasy or heavy. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, artificial coloring, and added fragrance, which makes it gentle enough for daily use even on reactive or barrier-compromised skin. Because it’s clinically tested as non-comedogenic, it’s suitable for normal, combination, and acne-prone skin types alike.

Key Ingredients in the 345 Relief Cream

• Centella Asiatica Extract — calms redness and visible irritation.
• Niacinamide — helps brighten the look of post-acne marks and even out tone.
• PDRN & Sodium Hyaluronate — support hydration and the skin’s natural recovery process.
• Panthenol — softens the skin and helps reinforce the moisture barrier.
• Plant extract blend (turmeric, calendula, evening primrose, tea tree leaf) — adds antioxidant and soothing support.

Benefits for Acne-Prone & Sensitive Skin
The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is built around a simple idea: skin that’s recovering from breakouts needs calming and hydration, not harsh actives. Regular use helps calm visible redness and irritation, support fading of post-acne marks over time, strengthen the skin barrier, hydrate without a heavy or greasy after-feel, and layer easily under makeup or SPF.

How to Use Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream

1. Cleanse with a gentle face wash suited to your skin type.
2. Apply lighter-textured products first — toner, essence, or serum.
3. Apply the 345 Relief Cream as your final or second-to-last step.
4. In the morning, follow with sunscreen.

Use it both morning and night. A pea-sized amount is usually enough; gently press it into the skin rather than rubbing.

Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream vs 147 Barrier Cream
If you’re choosing between the two: the 345 Relief Cream is aimed at post-acne, blemish-prone skin that needs calming and soothing care, while the 147 Barrier Cream leans more toward deep hydration and pure barrier repair for dry or compromised skin. Many customers use one or the other depending on their main concern, though both are gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Why Choose Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream?
Dr. Althea is a Korean skincare brand built around gentle, vegan-certified formulas that are free from artificial fragrance, coloring, and parabens — a solid fit for anyone managing sensitive or post-acne skin. The core ingredient in the 345 Relief Cream, Centella Asiatica, has been studied for years for its role in calming skin irritation and supporting the skin’s natural repair process, and its benefits are well documented in dermatology research (see: Centella asiatica in dermatology: an overview). If your skin also needs deeper hydration on drier days, pair this with the Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream, or browse our full range of Korean skincare essentials for more post-acne and sensitive-skin picks. As with any new skincare product, patch-test on your jawline or behind the ear for 3–5 days before applying it to your full face, especially if your skin tends to react easily.
