FAQs
Can I use this cream under makeup?
Yes, but allow the cream to fully absorb for 3-5 minutes before applying foundation or primer to ensure a smooth finish.
Is this safe for acne-prone skin?
While it is formulated to be gentle, those with severe acne should patch test first to ensure the rich formula does not cause congestion.
How often should I apply it?
It is designed for daily use and can be applied once or twice a day depending on your skin's hydration needs.
Does this product have a strong fragrance?
Dr.Althea prioritizes skin health and formulates to minimize irritation; it has a neutral scent suitable for sensitive skin.
Can it be used on the body?
While intended for the face, it can be used on dry patches anywhere on the body if extra barrier support is needed.
Troubleshooting
Cream feels too thick on the skin
Apply to slightly damp skin and use a smaller amount, massaging it thoroughly until it is fully absorbed.
Skin feels oily after application
Reduce the quantity used and focus application on drier areas, skipping the T-zone if necessary.
Product is difficult to dispense
Ensure the product is at room temperature and the dispenser nozzle is clear of any dried residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, apply a dime-sized amount of the 147 Barrier Cream to clean, damp skin after your toner and serum steps. Ensure you gently press the cream into the face rather than rubbing vigorously to maximize absorption. This product is compatible with most water-based serums and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of its active ingredients. Always ensure the cap is tightly closed after use to prevent contamination.
