DR. ALTHEA Green Tea Fresh Sunscreen (45ml)

The texture is watery and lightweight, absorbing quickly without any greasy or sticky feeling. It leaves no white cast and sits smoothly under makeup, making it a good everyday option, particularly if you have oily or sensitive skin.

Yes, it's been formulated with sensitive, oily, and redness-prone skin in mind.

• Suitable for sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, redness, and compromised skin barriers
• Contains green tea, centella, and heartleaf, all known for their calming and soothing properties
• Lightweight and non-comedogenic, so it won't clog pores or aggravate breakouts

The formula layers up several skin-friendly actives alongside its UV filters:

• Green Tea Leaf Water replaces plain water as the base, providing antioxidant protection and calming redness.
• 7 forms of Centella Asiatica (including madecassoside and asiaticoside) soothe sensitivity, support barrier repair, and help reduce irritation over time.
• Heartleaf (Houttuynia Cordata) Extract calms blemish-prone skin and helps with excess irritation.
• Heartleaf PDRN (Sodium DNA) supports skin regeneration and helps strengthen a weakened barrier.
• Niacinamide helps regulate oil and supports a more even skin tone.
• Chemical UV filters (including Ethylhexyl Triazone and Drometrizole Trisiloxane) deliver broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ protection against both UVA and UVB.

Not necessarily, but for most skin types it's worth it. This sunscreen is light and soothing, but it isn't a substitute for a moisturiser.

• Normal to dry or dehydrated skin: apply a moisturiser first, then sunscreen.
• Very oily skin: you may be able to skip moisturiser if your skin still feels comfortable going straight in.

Yes. The watery, fast-absorbing texture sits smoothly under foundation or BB cream without greasiness or white cast. Apply it after your moisturiser and let it absorb before going in with makeup.

Yes, it works well for dry, acne-prone skin.

• Formulated to suit dry skin, acne-prone skin, sensitive skin, and skin dealing with redness or a compromised barrier.
• Centella, heartleaf, and green tea help calm irritation and reduce the look of redness.
• Lightweight chemical filters keep the finish non-greasy and comfortable, not occlusive.

If your skin is on the drier side, layer it over a nourishing moisturiser for extra comfort.

Yes. It's lightweight and non-greasy, with no typical pore-clogging oils or waxes in the formula, making it a solid pick for oily and acne-prone skin. That said, if you're very breakout-prone, a patch test on a small area first is always worth it.
