Brand story
About Dr. Althea
Dr. Althea is a South Korean derma-skincare brand founded in 2014 by husband-and-wife team Evelyn Lee and Lee Dong-hoon, and run by their company The Pure Lab. Evelyn had battled unexplained skin troubles despite trying many high-end products, and that experience shaped the brand's mission: gentle yet effective skincare for sensitive skin.
The name joins 'Doctor', for skincare expertise, with Althea, a figure from Greek mythology associated with care and recovery. Its motto, 'Only Essentials. Gently Effective.', sums up the approach: minimalist, nature-inspired formulas that focus on soothing the skin and supporting its natural barrier. Alan Meyers, a formulation expert who previously led research at L'Oréal USA and Revlon, serves as executive scientific advisor.
Its signature product is the 345 Relief Cream, a lightweight daily moisturiser tested non-comedogenic in a trial by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences and made without essential oils. The family now includes the 345 Relief Cream Mist, while the 147 Barrier Cream, two vitamin C serums and the Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm round out a short, focused range.
For shoppers, Dr. Althea is a low-fuss choice when skin is feeling reactive or overloaded by actives. Use the 345 Relief Cream as your everyday moisturiser, add vitamin C in the morning followed by SPF, and keep the rest of your routine simple.
