Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Application
Using the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is simple and can be easily integrated into your existing skincare regimen.
- Cleanse: Begin with a clean face. Wash away dirt, oil, and makeup using your preferred cleanser.
- Tone & Treat: Apply your usual toner, serum, or treatment products, allowing them to absorb fully.
- Apply Cream: Dispense a small, pea-sized amount of Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream onto your fingertips.
- Spread Evenly: Gently spread the cream over your face and neck. For targeted concerns, you can apply a slightly thicker layer to specific areas.
- Pat to Absorb: Lightly pat your skin with your fingertips until the cream is fully absorbed. Avoid harsh rubbing.
Compatibility
- Skin Types: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, oily, and combination skin, thanks to its gentle, fragrance-free formula.
- Routine Integration: This cream can be used as your daily moisturizer in both morning and evening routines. It layers well under sunscreen and makeup.
- Ingredient Harmony: Formulated with common beneficial skincare ingredients, it is generally compatible with most serums and treatments. However, if using strong active ingredients (e.g., high-percentage retinoids or strong acids), introduce new products gradually and observe your skin's reaction.
Product Care
- Storage: Store the cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its efficacy and texture.
- Closure: Always secure the cap tightly after each use to prevent air exposure, which can degrade ingredients over time.
- Shelf Life: Refer to the packaging for the expiration date or the "period after opening" (PAO) symbol, typically a jar icon with a number like `12M` (12 months).
