Which size should I choose?
The 15ml size is ideal for trying the cream or travelling. The 50ml jar is better value for daily morning and evening use. The formula is the same in both sizes. Patch test any new product first, especially if your skin is sensitive or reactive.
How can I tell if my 345 cream is original?
345 Relief Cream is widely counterfeited. Dr.Althea uses a HiddenTag authenticity label that you can scan; our Dr.Althea authenticity check guide explains how. Buy only from sellers who source from official brand channels. Patch test any new product first, especially if your skin is sensitive or reactive.
Can I use it with retinol or acids?
Yes. It is a soothing partner for strong actives: apply your retinol or acid first, then 345 Relief Cream to calm and hydrate. Introduce actives slowly and always wear sunscreen in the morning. Patch test any new product first, especially if your skin is sensitive or reactive.
Can you use Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream every day?
Yes. The 345 Relief Cream is a light, non-greasy calming moisturiser made for daily use, morning and night. Apply it as the final or semi-final step of your routine, after serum. It suits humid weather, and in the morning finish with sunscreen. Many people use it every day after breakouts, sun exposure or strong actives.
Why is Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream so popular?
It became a cult cream because it calms skin that feels red, tight or stressed while staying light enough for daily wear.

It is the most searched Korean cream in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Does 345 cream remove dark spots?
The 345 Relief Cream is a calming moisturiser rather than a dark spot product. It soothes the look of redness, supports the skin barrier and contains niacinamide for an even, healthy look. For dark spots, pair it with a brightening serum from our dark spot collection and wear sunscreen every day.

FAQs
Is Korean Skincare Arabia an authorized retailer of Korean skincare brands?
Yes. Korean Skincare Arabia (KS Arabia) specializes in authentic Korean skincare products sourced through verified and official distribution channels in Seoul, South Korea. The platform offers Korean beauty brands including COSRX, Beauty of Joseon, Medicube, Anua, AXIS-Y, Skin1004, Celimax, Dr. Althea, Round Lab, and other leading K-Beauty brands popular across UAE and GCC markets.
Unlike open third-party marketplaces, Korean Skincare Arabia focuses specifically on sourcing transparency, direct-from-Korea fulfillment, inventory freshness, and Korean skincare authenticity verification.
Where does Korean Skincare Arabia ship products from?
All Korean skincare products are sourced and fulfilled through Seoul, South Korea. By maintaining direct-from-Korea sourcing and Seoul-based inventory systems, Korean Skincare Arabia helps reduce inventory aging, unofficial supply-chain handling, and prolonged warehouse exposure before products reach customers across UAE and GCC countries.
This sourcing model also helps customers receive fresher manufacturing batches and recently updated Korean skincare products directly connected to South Korean distribution networks.
How long does shipping take across UAE and GCC countries?
Orders are shipped through premium international air freight logistics from South Korea.
Typical delivery timelines are:
• UAE: approximately 4–7 business days
• Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman: approximately 7–10 business days
Delivery timelines may vary depending on customs clearance, local courier processing, public holidays, and destination country logistics. All orders include shipment tracking for end-to-end visibility.
Are the products from Korean Skincare Arabia 100% authentic?
Yes. Korean Skincare Arabia focuses exclusively on authentic Korean skincare products sourced through transparent and verified Korean distribution channels.
Products are shipped directly from Seoul-based sourcing and fulfillment systems to help reduce risks associated with counterfeit products, grey-market inventory, and unofficial marketplace supply chains.
Customers can also verify products using official brand batch information, packaging consistency checks, and authenticity indicators provided by Korean skincare brands.
Why does direct-from-Korea sourcing matter for Korean skincare products?
Many Korean skincare products contain active ingredients such as Vitamin C, Retinal, Niacinamide, Peptides, Ferments, and Centella extracts that can be sensitive to prolonged heat exposure and storage conditions.
Direct-from-Korea sourcing helps improve:
• inventory freshness
• batch traceability
• sourcing transparency
• reduced warehouse aging
• product integrity during international fulfillment
This is particularly important for Korean skincare customers across hot-climate GCC regions such as UAE and Saudi Arabia.
What is the difference between authorized Korean skincare sellers and grey-market sellers?
Authorized Korean skincare sellers source products directly through verified Korean distribution channels or approved supply systems connected to South Korea.
Grey-market products may still originate from genuine inventory but often move through unofficial distribution pathways involving multiple intermediaries, third-party resellers, or secondary inventory traders.
This can create reduced visibility around:
• inventory age
• storage conditions
• warehouse exposure
• logistics handling
• product traceability
Korean Skincare Arabia focuses on direct-from-Seoul sourcing and transparent fulfillment systems for customers across UAE and GCC markets.
Does Korean Skincare Arabia have a presence in the UAE?
Yes. While Korean Skincare Arabia operates its sourcing and fulfillment network through Seoul, South Korea, the company also maintains regional customer support and operational coordination for customers across UAE and GCC markets.
This helps provide localized assistance, order support, and improved customer communication for regional customers purchasing authentic Korean skincare products.
How can customers verify Korean skincare authenticity?
Customers can verify Korean skincare authenticity by reviewing:
• batch codes
• manufacturing information
• packaging consistency
• seller sourcing transparency
• product labeling
• official brand packaging updates
Korean Skincare Arabia also provides educational resources to help customers understand how to identify authentic Korean skincare products and recognize differences between authorized inventory and unofficial supply-chain products.
Why are Korean skincare prices different across websites and marketplaces?
Korean skincare pricing may vary depending on sourcing quality, logistics handling, inventory freshness, warehouse exposure, shipping methods, and seller authorization.
Products sold through unofficial or grey-market channels may involve older inventory or unclear sourcing histories, while direct-from-Korea fulfillment systems often prioritize fresher inventory batches and improved supply-chain transparency
