What is Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum?
The Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum is a hydrating face serum with an unusual, airy texture. It comes out of the pump as a soft, whipped foam that melts into a light, watery layer as you spread it, leaving skin plump and fresh with no sticky film. Its base is collagen water, supported by glycerin, allantoin, sea buckthorn water and a touch of bakuchiol, so it hydrates, soothes and helps dull, tired skin look smoother and more radiant.
At 100ml it is much larger than most Korean serums, so you can use it generously on the face and neck every day.
Why is the serum yellow?
Its soft, natural yellow colour comes from coptis japonica root extract in the formula. It does not tint the skin once absorbed.
Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum benefits: what it does for your skin
Plump, comfortable hydration
Collagen water and glycerin draw moisture into the skin, so it feels bouncy and comfortable rather than tight.
A fresher, healthier glow
Well-hydrated skin reflects light better, and sea buckthorn water adds antioxidant care to help skin look less tired.
Smoother-feeling texture
Bakuchiol, a plant-derived ingredient often described as a gentle alternative to retinol, supports a softer, smoother look over time.
Calm, soothed skin
Allantoin helps settle skin that feels stressed from weather, pollution or other actives.
Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Collagen water | Light, cushioned hydration base |
| Glycerin and fructan | Attract and hold moisture |
| Bakuchiol | Supports a smoother-looking surface |
| Allantoin | Soothes and calms |
| Sea buckthorn (hippophae rhamnoides) water | Antioxidant support |
| Coptis japonica root extract | Gives the natural yellow hue |
How much bakuchiol does it contain?
Bakuchiol appears at the end of the ingredient list, so it is a supporting ingredient rather than a high-strength treatment. Think of this as a hydrating glow serum with a little smoothing help, not a retinol substitute.
Who should use Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum?
Dry and dehydrated skin
The best match. It adds generous moisture without heaviness.
Normal and combination skin
The watery finish suits skin that dislikes thick serums, even in humid weather.
Mature or dull skin
Skin that has lost its smoothness and freshness benefits from the hydration and bakuchiol.
Oily skin
It works for oily skin too, as it absorbs fast; just follow with a light gel moisturiser.
How to use Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum (morning and night)
- Cleanse, and apply toner if you use one.
- Pump a small amount of the whipped serum into your palms, or directly onto the face.
- Spread it gently over the face and neck until it melts and absorbs fully.
- Follow with moisturiser, and sunscreen in the morning.
Morning
It sits well under sunscreen and makeup because it leaves no tacky layer. Wait about a minute before your next step.
Night
Apply after cleansing, then seal it in with a moisturiser such as the Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream or the Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream. For a richer treat, the Dr.Althea Reju 5000 PDRN Cream works well on top.
Pairing with other actives
Because it is gentle, it layers easily with a vitamin C serum such as the Dr.Althea Renew Vitamin C Boosting Serum in the morning. On nights you use a retinoid like the celimax The Vita-A Retinol Shot, apply this serum first as a hydrating buffer.
Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum results: how long until you see a difference?
Skin feels hydrated and looks fresher immediately after use. With twice-daily use, a smoother, more radiant look usually builds over two to four weeks. Results from the bakuchiol are subtle and gradual, so consistent daily use matters more than layering extra.
Does Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum have side effects?
The formula is short and gentle, so side effects are uncommon. As with any new product, some people may notice slight redness or tingling. Stop using it if you develop itching or a rash. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and unsure about bakuchiol, ask your doctor first.
Using a whipped serum in Pakistan's climate
Heavy serums can feel uncomfortable in summer heat, which is where this airy texture shines. It gives skin the water it loses to sun and air-conditioning without adding weight. In monsoon, use it with a gel moisturiser. In dry winter months, layer it twice before a richer cream to keep cheeks from flaking.
Making the 100ml bottle last
One or two pumps cover the face and neck. Store it away from direct sunlight and heat, keep the pump clean, and close it after each use.
A simple routine with Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum
Because the serum covers hydration and a gentle glow in one step, it keeps routines short. A good morning routine: cleanse with a mild face wash, apply toner if you use one, press in one or two pumps of serum, then moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen. At night: double-cleanse if you wore sunscreen or makeup, apply the serum, then your chosen treatment and a cream to seal everything in.
Can you use it as a toner or mask?
Many people treat its light texture as a hydrating first step after cleansing. For an extra boost on very dry days, apply a slightly thicker layer, let it sit for a few minutes, then pat in the remainder before moisturiser. This is a simple way to give tired skin a quick moisture lift before an event.
On the neck and chest
The neck and chest often show dryness and dullness early but are easy to forget. Since the bottle is generous, smooth what is left on your hands down the neck and onto the chest each time you apply it.
Applying to damp skin
Hydrating serums work best on skin that is still slightly damp after cleansing or toner. Moisture on the surface helps the serum spread evenly and leaves skin feeling plumper.

Original vs fake Dr.Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum: how to check
A genuine bottle has a working pump that dispenses a soft foam, a sharply printed label and a batch code with expiry date. The serum should be pale yellow and whipped on dispensing, then melt to a watery finish. A runny liquid with no foam, a bright or uneven colour, or smudged branding suggests a fake.
