Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-28

What is this product?

Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream is a 50 ml light moisturiser pitched at sensitive, breakout-prone oily and combination skin. Tea tree leaf water is the second entry, niacinamide is ninth, and the brand's 3, 4 and 5 story names resveratrol, tannic acid, beta-glucan, a hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, ceramide NP, green tea, centella and madecassoside plus two PDRN sources that share one sodium DNA entry. The printed list has no fragrance entry and no ethanol. Test badges and four week photos are shown without results.

What makes it different?

A light tube cream that pairs tea tree leaf water at the head of the list with niacinamide, resveratrol, tannic acid and a PDRN entry, positioned by the brand as the oily and combination counterpart to its 147 barrier cream.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.
