Dr. Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum is a lightweight foam-to-water serum designed to hydrate, soothe, and enhance the skin’s natural radiance. Its airy micro-bubble texture transforms into a refreshing, water-like essence as it is massaged into the skin, delivering toner-like hydration with the conditioning benefits of a serum. Formulated with Collagen Water, Vitamin Tree Water, Allantoin, Bakuchiol, Glycerin, and Fructan, it leaves skin feeling smooth, comfortable, and ready for makeup without a heavy or sticky finish.

Benefits:

• Provides lightweight hydration: Collagen Water, Propanediol, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Fructan, and Glucose help replenish moisture without a rich finish.
• Enhances visible radiance: Vitamin Tree Water, Bakuchiol, and hydrating ingredients help dull, tired-looking skin appear fresher and more luminous.
• Soothes stressed-feeling skin: Allantoin and Coptis Japonica Root Extract help comfort skin affected by dryness or temporary irritation.
• Supports smoother-looking texture: Moisture-binding and conditioning ingredients help soften roughness and fine lines caused by dehydration.
• Creates a makeup-ready finish: The fast-absorbing formula helps skin feel smooth and hydrated so makeup can apply more evenly.
• Transforms from foam to water: The whipped bubbles melt into a lightweight, refreshing layer when massaged over the skin.
• Offers versatile 3-in-1 care: Can be used as a hydrating toner-serum step or applied more generously as a quick bubble mask.
• Non-sticky application: Designed to absorb quickly without leaving an excessively greasy or heavy residue.
