Dr. Althea 345 Relief Repair Cream

Dr. Althea 345 Relief Repair Cream (formerly known as the 147 Barrier Cream) is a specialized intensive ointment-type moisturizer designed to rescue compromised skin. This formula is specifically engineered for those dealing with a broken skin barrier, post-acne sensitivity, or chronic dryness, providing a "physical-like" shield that locks in moisture while actively healing the layers beneath.

Core Ingredients & Benefits

• Azulene: Derived from Chamomile, this ingredient gives the cream its natural cooling property. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory that rapidly reduces redness and calms "angry" or heat-sensitized skin.

• Resveratrol: A potent antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from environmental stressors while supporting the skin's natural repair cycle.

• Centella Asiatica & Mugwort: A soothing botanical duo that works to heal micro-tears in the skin barrier and provides immediate relief from itching or stinging.

• Ceramide NP: Mimics the natural lipids found in the skin to reinforce the moisture barrier, preventing "Trans-Epidermal Water Loss" (TEWL).

Quick Profile

Application & Usage

1. Spot or Full Face: Can be used as a targeted "spot treatment" on irritated patches or applied to the entire face as the final step of your nighttime routine.

2. Warm Up: Take a small amount and warm it between your fingertips to make the ointment-like texture more spreadable.

3. Press & Pat: Gently press the cream into the skin rather than rubbing, which helps avoid further irritation to a sensitive barrier.

4. The "Night Cap": It is particularly effective when used as the last step before bed to allow the skin to repair itself overnight.

Why It Is a "Rescue" Essential

• Ointment-Gel Hybrid: It offers the deep nourishment of a heavy ointment but with a refined texture that doesn't clog pores, making it safe for acne-prone skin that is also dry or irritated.

• Instant Cooling: It physically lowers the skin's surface temperature upon application, providing instant comfort to flushed or "burnt" skin.

• Post-Procedure Care: This is an excellent choice for skin recovery after professional treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or harsh acne medications.

• Clean Beauty Standards: Formulated without artificial fragrances, essential oils, or parabens to ensure maximum compatibility with reactive skin.
