Dr.althea Premium

Premium-tier Dr.Althea products contain higher active concentrations, use more targeted delivery systems (alginate modeling base, 2 ml ampoule-per-mask format), and address specific concerns like brightening, firming, or deep dehydration. They are designed as intensive weekly treatments or targeted daily serums rather than maintenance products.

Mix the powder sachet with the included capsule solution until smooth. Spread an even 3-5 mm layer over the face with the spatula, avoiding the brows and hairline. Wait 15-20 minutes until the mask sets firm, then peel off in one piece starting from the chin. Pat any remaining essence into skin - no rinsing needed. Use once or twice per week after cleansing and toning.

Choose the Rosa mask for brightening, dullness, or hyperpigmentation - the rose extract and niacinamide combination targets uneven skin tone. Choose the Cica mask for redness, sensitivity, or barrier damage - the high-concentration Centella Asiatica extract reduces inflammation and accelerates barrier repair. If your main concern is both dullness and redness, alternate between them on separate mask sessions.

Each Premium Intensive Essence Mask pouch contains 2 ml of concentrated serum - roughly double the active load of a standard sheet mask. The mask substrate fits closer to the face to maximise contact and absorption. Standard sheet masks focus on hydration and calming; the Intensive Essence Mask is an active treatment dose in mask form, targeting brightening and barrier recovery simultaneously.

Two to three times per week is the recommended frequency. The 20-pack format is sized to provide about 8-10 weeks of consistent 2-3x weekly use. For an intensive course (post-procedure skin, pre-event preparation), daily use for 7-10 days is safe for most skin types. Reduce to 2x weekly after the intensive phase.

The Sculpting Cream is best suited for skin showing early signs of loss of firmness: reduced facial density, slight sagging along the jawline, or a less defined contour. It works via peptide actives and lifting agents. It is appropriate from the mid-20s onward and is particularly effective as a preventive treatment before firmness loss becomes pronounced.

The Multi-action Infusion Serum targets multiple ageing signs at once with a peptide complex that supports collagen production, hyaluronic acid at multiple molecular weights for surface and deep hydration, and niacinamide for tone evening. The formula is fragrance-free and works under any moisturizer in the PM routine or as a base under SPF in the AM routine.

It is formulated specifically for oily skin, using oil-absorbing powders and botanicals that break down sebum more aggressively than standard amino acid cleansers. It is faster to rinse and leaves skin matte without over-drying. It is best used as an evening cleanser or second-cleanse step. If your skin is dry or sensitive, the Premium Sebum Cleanser is not the right choice - use the Pro Lab Amino Acid Gentle Bubble Cleanser instead.

Yes, but introduce them one at a time and allow 2 weeks before adding the next. On mask nights (modeling or essence masks), skip the high-active serums like a strong vitamin C - the mask already delivers a concentrated dose. Outside of mask nights, layering the Multi-action Infusion Serum under the Sculpting Cream is a well-matched combination for anti-ageing focus.

All Premium products are fragrance-free, which is the main irritant concern for sensitive skin. The Cica Modeling Mask is specifically calming and is widely well-tolerated. The Pro Lab serums contain higher active concentrations than the standard range - patch test on the inner arm first and monitor for 24 hours before full facial use if you have reactive skin.

Modeling masks and essence masks show short-term results (improved glow, reduced redness) within a single session. Cumulative effects from consistent masking build over 4-6 weeks. Pro Lab serums targeting firmness or brightening require 8-12 weeks of daily use before objective improvement becomes visible. Track progress with photos taken under consistent lighting every 4 weeks.

It contains stable vitamin C derivatives (not pure L-ascorbic acid) alongside niacinamide and other brightening actives. This makes it gentler and more stable than a pure vitamin C serum, while still targeting uneven tone and dullness. It is suitable for daily morning or evening use without the oxidation instability that affects pure vitamin C formulas.
