{"product_id":"dr-althea-345-relief-cream","title":"Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr.Althea 345 Relief Cream is a calming face moisturiser from the Korean skincare brand Dr.Althea. Most people know it simply as the 345 cream. It was made for skin that is having a hard time: cheeks that flush easily, a face that stings after a strong acid, the angry red patches left behind by a breakout, or skin that feels raw after too much sun and dust. Instead of loading the skin with heavy oils, it gives a soft layer of moisture plus soothing ingredients that help the surface feel settled again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cream comes in two sizes: a 15ml tube that is ideal for travel or a first try, and a 50ml jar-style pack for daily use. Both carry the same renewed formula, which is why the 345 is often the moisturiser people return to once they have tried it during a difficult skin phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the name 345 mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe number refers to the brand's signature complex built around niacinamide and panthenol, supported by a group of calming plant waters and centella derivatives. You do not need to remember the chemistry; what matters is that every ingredient in the blend points in the same direction: calm, hydrate and protect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Dr.Althea 345 a moisturiser or a treatment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a moisturiser first. It goes on as the last skincare step before sunscreen in the morning and as the final step at night. Its soothing ingredients make it feel like a treatment, but it is gentle enough to use twice a day, every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDr.Althea 345 Relief Cream benefits: what it does for your skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strength of this cream is that it covers several jobs at once without irritating skin that is already reactive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCalms redness and visible irritation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentella, madecassoside and tea tree leaf water are classic soothing ingredients in Korean skincare. Used together, they help red, blotchy areas look calmer and make skin feel less hot and uncomfortable, which is welcome after a day in Karachi humidity or a dry Islamabad winter wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSupports a weakened skin barrier\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanthenol, ceramide NP and beta-glucan help the skin hold on to water and recover from over-cleansing or over-exfoliating. When the barrier is stronger, products that used to sting often start to feel comfortable again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHelps post-breakout marks look less obvious\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNiacinamide is well known for evening out the look of skin tone over time. The 345 is not a spot-fading serum, but steady daily use can soften the look of the pink and brown marks that linger after pimples heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHydrates without a greasy film\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlycerin and two forms of hyaluronic acid draw moisture into the upper layers, while light silicones give a smooth, velvety finish. Oily skin gets comfort without shine, and makeup glides on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDr.Althea 345 Relief Cream key ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula is long, but a handful of ingredients do most of the work.

No moisturiser can promise zero breakouts for everyone, so if your skin clogs easily, start with a thin layer at night for a week and watch how it responds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream good for your skin type?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the question most Pakistani shoppers ask, so here is a direct answer for each skin type and concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it good for oily skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The gel-cream texture absorbs quickly and dries down to a soft, non-shiny finish. In peak summer, one thin layer is usually enough; you may not need anything heavier underneath your sunscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it good for acne and acne-prone skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, as a support product. It does not treat acne on its own, but it keeps skin calm and hydrated while you use stronger treatments such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or a retinoid. That comfort makes it easier to stay consistent with your acne routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it good for dry skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor mildly dry skin it is comfortable on its own. Very dry skin, especially in winter or in air-conditioned offices, may want a richer cream on top at night, such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dr-althea-147-barrier-cream-50ml\"\u003eDr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it good for sensitive skin and a damaged barrier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is where the 345 shines. It is built for skin that reacts, so it is a sensible choice after over-exfoliating, a strong peel, sunburn or a harsh face wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes Dr.Althea 345 help with dark spots and pigmentation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can help the look of uneven tone over weeks thanks to niacinamide, but it is gentle by design. For stubborn dark spots, pair it with a targeted serum such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dr-althea-renew-vitamin-c-boosting-serum-30ml\"\u003eDr.Althea Renew Vitamin C Boosting Serum\u003c\/a\u003e and daily sunscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWho should patch-test first?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you know you react to tea tree or to fragrance-like plant waters, try a small amount along the jawline for two days before using it all over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream (morning and night)\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 345 is easy to fit into any routine because it plays well with almost everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMorning routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash with a gentle cleanser and pat skin dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayer any toner and serum you normally use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpread a pea-to-almond-sized amount of 345 over face and neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWait a minute, then finish with sunscreen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEvening routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove sunscreen and makeup, then cleanse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply your treatment step, such as a retinoid or exfoliating toner, if you use one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeal everything in with a slightly thicker layer of 345.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan you use it with retinol?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is one of the best reasons to own it. Many people apply it after their retinol at night, or even as a buffer underneath on the first weeks, to reduce dryness and flaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan you wear it under makeup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Give it a minute or two to settle, apply sunscreen, then your foundation or BB cream. Because the finish is smooth and not slippery, base makeup tends to sit evenly instead of sliding by midday, which helps on long, warm days when you are out of the house from morning to evening. If you use a primer, you can often skip it, as the cream already leaves a soft-focus surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to pair it with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works well alongside the matching \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dr-althea-345-relief-serum\"\u003eDr.Althea 345 Relief Serum\u003c\/a\u003e for extra calm, or with a vitamin C serum in the morning.

Visible changes in texture and redness usually build over two to four weeks of twice-daily use. If you are hoping for softer post-acne marks, give it six to eight weeks alongside sunscreen, because tone changes always take longer than hydration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream have side effects?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a gentle formula, and most people use it without any issues. Occasionally, very breakout-prone skin finds any new moisturiser causes a few small bumps in the first week; if that continues, use less product or switch it to night-only. Stop using it if you see persistent itching, burning or rash, and speak to a dermatologist if irritation does not settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDr.Althea 345 Relief Cream vs 147 Barrier Cream\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two are siblings with different jobs, and many people own both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e345 Relief Cream\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e147 Barrier Cream\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMain role\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalming and evening tone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeep barrier repair and comfort\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTexture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight gel-cream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRicher, more cushioning cream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOily, combination, acne-prone, red skin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry, tight, flaky or winter skin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeason\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll year, especially summer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter and air-conditioned rooms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the 345 if redness and breakouts are your main worry.
