Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum 30ml | Brightening Serum | AmiGlow NZ

The Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum is a sophisticated, high-performance brightening treatment designed to revitalize dull, tired complexions and target persistent hyperpigmentation. Unlike traditional Vitamin C serums that can be unstable or irritating, Dr. Althea utilizes a "Boosting" philosophy—blending a potent 20% Boosting Complex (featuring Vitamin C derivatives and natural extracts) with skin-soothing ingredients to ensure maximum efficacy with minimal sensitivity.

This serum is specifically formulated to address the challenges of the "Kiwi Glow". In New Zealand, the high UV index often leads to premature sun spots and an uneven skin tone. This serum acts as a powerful antioxidant shield, neutralising free radicals while actively fading existing sun damage. It is an essential step for anyone aiming for a "Glass Skin" finish, providing that coveted lit-from-within radiance while supporting long-term skin health and collagen production.

What It Does

• Intensive Brightening: Targets dullness and sallow skin tones to restore a vibrant, healthy glow.
• Fades Dark Spots: Effectively lightens post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), sun spots, and freckles.
• Antioxidant Protection: Neutralizes oxidative stress caused by pollution and NZ’s intense UV radiation.
• Boosts Collagen: Supports the skin’s natural repair process to improve firmness and reduce the look of fine lines.
• Refines Skin Texture: Smooths out rough patches for a soft, velvety surface.
• Hydrates & Calms: Unlike drying Vitamin C products, this formula infuses the skin with moisture to prevent redness.

Key Benefits

• 20% Boosting Complex: A curated blend of 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (a highly stable Vitamin C derivative), Sea Buckthorn (Vitamin Tree) Extract, and Niacinamide.
• Stable Formulation: Designed to resist oxidation, ensuring the serum stays potent and effective for longer without turning orange.
• Gentle for Sensitive Skin: Features Panthenol and Allantoin to soothe the skin barrier, making it suitable for those who usually find Vitamin C too harsh.
• Vegan & Cruelty-Free: A clean beauty staple that aligns with ethical skincare values.
• Lightweight Synergy: Works in harmony with other K-beauty products, layering perfectly without pilling.
• EWG Green Grade Ingredients: Formulated with safety in mind, avoiding harsh synthetic fragrances and parabens.

How to Use

• Step 1: After cleansing and toning, apply 2–3 drops to your face and neck.
• Step 2: Gently pat the serum into the skin until fully absorbed.
• Step 3: Focus on areas with visible sun damage or acne scarring.
• Step 4: Follow with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the actives.
• Mandatory: When used in the morning, always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ to protect the skin and prevent further pigmentation.

When to Use

• Morning Routine (Recommended): Use in the AM to take advantage of its antioxidant properties against daily environmental stressors.
• Evening Routine: Can be used at night to support skin regeneration and repair after sun exposure.
• Daily Consistency: For best results, use daily to see a gradual but significant improvement in skin clarity within 4–6 weeks.

Dosage

• Standard Application: A small amount (2–3 drops) is sufficient for a full-face application.
• Targeted Brightening: An extra drop can be dabbed directly onto specific dark spots or areas of hyperpigmentation.

Texture & Feel

• Lightweight & Watery: A thin, silky consistency that spreads effortlessly across the skin.
• Non-Sticky Finish: Absorbs quickly without leaving a tacky or oily residue, making it ideal for layering under makeup.
• Refreshing Sensation: Provides a light, hydrating feel that instantly wakes up the complexion.
• Subtle Glow: Leaves behind a natural, dewy sheen rather than a heavy shine.
