Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream
The Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream is the brand's best-known product. The name describes the formula: 3 soothing herbs, 4 moisturising agents and 5 natural oils, with tea tree leaf water and niacinamide. It is a lightweight, non-greasy cream for sensitive, red, acne-prone and post-breakout skin, available in 50ml or 15ml.
How to use the 345 Relief Cream
Use it as the final or semi-final step, morning and evening, after toner and serum. For extra calm, layer it over the 345 Relief Serum 30ml, and refresh during the day with the 345 Relief Cream Mist 60ml. Our 345 Relief Cream review covers ingredients and routines.
Is the 345 Relief Cream a moisturiser?
Yes. It is a light moisturiser that soothes as it hydrates, so it can be your only cream on oily skin. On dry skin, many people follow it with the richer 147 Barrier Cream at night.

Frequently asked questions about Dr.Althea in the UAE
Where can I buy genuine Dr.Althea in the UAE?
You can buy genuine Dr.Althea from Korean Skincare Arabia. We source every product directly from official brand channels in South Korea, check that each batch is fresh, and ship each parcel by air from our Seoul warehouse, arriving in 5–7 days across the UAE and GCC with Cash on Delivery. You can check your pack with our Dr.Althea authenticity guide.
Is Dr.Althea a good brand?
Yes. Dr.Althea is a well-regarded Korean brand for sensitive and reactive skin. Its best-known product, the 345 Relief Cream, combines 3 soothing herbs, 4 moisturising agents and 5 natural oils in a light cream. The rest of the range follows the same calming approach, from the 147 Barrier Cream for dry skin to the Vitamin C Boosting Serum for post-acne marks.
How do I use the Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream?
Apply the 345 Relief Cream as the final or semi-final step of your routine, morning and evening. After cleansing, toner and serum, smooth a thin layer over the face and pat it in. It is light enough for oily skin as your only moisturiser. On dry skin, you can add the 147 Barrier Cream on top at night.
How can I tell if my Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream is original?
Buy from a seller that sources from official brand channels, then check the pack. Look at the batch code and expiry date, the print quality and the seal, and compare the texture: genuine 345 Relief Cream is light and non-greasy. Our Dr.Althea authenticity guide walks through each check, including the brand's HiddenTag label where present.
Which country is Dr.Althea from?
Dr.Althea is a South Korean brand, established in 2014, and its products are developed in Korea. The brand's own website is doctoraltheaglobal.com. Every Dr.Althea product we sell is sourced from official brand channels in Korea and shipped to the UAE and GCC directly from our Seoul warehouse, with a batch code you can check.
Is Dr.Althea halal?
Dr.Althea does not hold a halal certification, so no product can be called certified halal. Skincare is applied to the skin rather than eaten, and many Muslim shoppers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia check the ingredient list for alcohol and animal-derived ingredients before buying. Every product page shows the full ingredient list, and our halal guide explains what to look for.
Is Dr.Althea cruelty-free?
We could not find Dr.Althea in PETA's cruelty-free database when we checked in October 2026, so we cannot describe it as certified cruelty-free. The Aqua Marine Jelly Mist is described as vegan-certified. If animal testing matters to you, check the brand's own statement for the product you want before you buy.
Do you ship Dr.Althea to Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC?
Yes. We ship Dr.Althea from Seoul to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman by DHL Express, with customs handled and delivery to your door in 5–7 days. Cash on Delivery is available in the UAE. Each order is packed in our Seoul warehouse, so you receive stock straight from Korea with a batch code you can verify.
