The Dr. Althea 345 Blemish Relief Cream is formulated with a combination of active ingredients that target blemishes and promote overall skin health. The cream contains salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin by penetrating deep into pores and removing dead skin cells. Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in reducing redness and inflammation associated with blemishes. Additionally, the cream contains niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that regulates oil production, reduces hyperpigmentation, and strengthens the skin's natural barrier. Niacinamide also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for calming irritated skin and reducing redness. Furthermore, the Dr. Althea 345 Blemish Relief Cream incorporates tea tree oil, which is known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Tea tree oil can help combat acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation, making it effective in treating blemishes. The cream is formulated with a pH of around 5.5, which is similar to the natural pH of the skin. This helps maintain the skin's acid mantle, a protective barrier that defends against external aggressors and helps maintain skin health. The cream has a lightweight and non-greasy texture, allowing for easy absorption into the skin. This ensures that the active ingredients can penetrate the skin effectively to deliver their benefits.
