Key ingredients

Ceramide

Barrier lipid

INCI: Ceramide NP

What it does
Ceramides are part of the lipid layer that slows water loss from the skin, and formulated ceramides are used to help repair a damaged barrier.
What it can’t do
Ceramide NP sits near the end of this ingredient list, so the amount is small.

Niacinamide

Tone and comfort

What it does
Dr.Althea includes niacinamide to brighten dullness in a formula aimed at post-breakout skin.
What it can’t do
The amount isn't disclosed, and a moisturiser cannot clear active acne. Ask a dermatologist about treatment.

How long to wait

It should feel comfortable from the first use. Judge any change in lingering marks over 8–12 weeks.

How to use

Dr.Althea suggests it as the last step of your routine, pressed in until absorbed. In the morning, follow it with sunscreen.

Pregnant or breastfeeding?

Ask your doctor before starting any new skincare while pregnant or breastfeeding.
