HOW TO USE

A Simple Ritual.

Beautiful skin isn't created in one application. It is created through a thoughtful ritual, repeated with intention every day.
01

Cleanse

Begin with freshly cleansed skin to remove makeup, excess oil and daily impurities before applying skincare.

02

Prep

Apply your toner to prepare the skin, allowing every drop of serum that follows to absorb fully.

How To Use
03

Apply

Dispense a few drops of Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum and gently pat evenly across your face until fully absorbed.

04

Protect

Brightening actives increase sun sensitivity — always finish your morning ritual with sunscreen to protect and preserve your results.

Comparison reflects common characteristics of standard vitamin C serums versus the formulation of this product.
THE SCIENCE
Formulated With Purpose
This serum's brightening actives are among the most clinically studied in skincare — backed by published, peer-reviewed research, not just claims on a label.
Niacinamide 5%
Clinical trials have shown niacinamide at 5% inhibits the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes — visibly reducing hyperpigmentation over four to twelve weeks of consistent use. Five percent is the threshold at which this effect has been reliably demonstrated.
Published in the British Journal of Dermatology & Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology
Tranexamic Acid 2%
One of the best-supported topical brightening actives of the last decade. It interrupts the pathway that activates melanocytes in response to UV exposure and inflammation, with multiple published trials showing significant fading of stubborn pigmentation.
Backed by multiple published topical concentration trials

FAQ

Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum is formulated to deliver brightening benefits while remaining gentle on the skin. Its lightweight formula is designed for daily use and is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. If you have very sensitive skin, we recommend performing a patch test before full application.

How long does delivery take?

We deliver across South Africa within 6–13 business days. You'll receive tracking information once your order has been dispatched.

Can I use it every day?

Absolutely. Apply the serum once or twice daily after cleansing and before your moisturiser. During the daytime, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help protect your skin and maximise your results.

Can I layer it with other skincare products?

Yes. The Vitamin C Boosting Serum works beautifully with hydrating products such as hyaluronic acid, ceramide creams, and soothing moisturisers. If you're introducing active ingredients like retinol or exfoliating acids into your routine, start gradually and observe how your skin responds.

Is this an authentic Korean skincare product?

Yes. House Of Rosetta carefully sources products from trusted Korean skincare brands and reputable suppliers. Every product in our collection is selected with intention to meet the quality standards our brand is built upon.
