Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Here's what our community thinks
Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum 43 ingredients
The best serum i've tried, FA safe which is good for acne-prone/combo/oily skin types. I saw that this serum will get rid off acne in just 3days and it was correct. It rlly got rid of my acne in just 3days(I only used it in my morning routine)
BREAK ME OUT!
I have sensitive and combination skin. I bought it, but it was really strong for me. I don't know why, but maybe because I have a sensitivity to vitamin C? Especially with this 63%, It's too strong for my skin, and I was really affected by it.
Please be careful when buying skincare products and always make sure to start with small amounts and do a patch test!
