Description
Most vitamin C serums feel too harsh for our humid Ghanaian mornings—but Dr. Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum was created so even reactive skin can enjoy a healthy glow. Its water-light formula packs a 20 % Sea Buckthorn water dose (that’s naturally richer in vitamin C than oranges) plus 5 % niacinamide to fade dark spots, smooth rough texture, and keep excess oil in check—exactly what our tropical climate demands.
How it tackles your top concerns
-
Fast, even radiance – Stable 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid partners with sea-buckthorn to visibly brighten dull or uneven tone.
-
Strengthened barrier – Niacinamide and panthenol reinforce skin so it stays hydrated, even when the afternoon heat kicks in.
-
Calm & clear – Green-tea water and allantoin soothe redness and keep breakouts at bay.
-
Youthful bounce – Adenosine helps smooth fine lines while the serum’s oil-capsule delivery leaves a dewy—not greasy—finish.
Lightweight enough for Accra’s humidity
An innovative oil-capsule system bursts on contact, releasing hydration without the sticky film many serums leave behind—so makeup (or just sunscreen) layers comfortably, even during that midday trot down Oxford Street.
Tried, tested, and loved worldwide
Over 1,000 shoppers rate it 4.5/5★, and one recent review raves: “I’ve been using this for 7 days and my marks are already fading!” If it can impress sensitive-skin users abroad, imagine what it can do here with our year-round sunshine.
