DR. ALTHEA: Aqua Marine Watery Cream

This is a lightweight Korean hydrating face cream from the skincare brand Dr. Althea. It’s sometimes sold as Aqua Marine Watery Cream and is designed to deeply hydrate the skin without heaviness.

🌊 Key Benefits

💧 Intense Hydration

• The cream uses 70% bamboo water as its base, delivering deep, refreshing moisture that helps improve skin dryness and dehydration.

• A complex of hyaluronic acid variants (multiple weights) helps lock in moisture at different layers of the skin for long‑lasting hydration.

🛡️ Barrier Support & Soothing

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) boosts the skin’s moisture barrier and supports stronger, more resilient skin.

• Guaiazulene (a calming compound) helps soothe irritation and redness, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin.

🌿 Lightweight & Refreshing Texture

• The formula feels like a watery gel‑cream that absorbs quickly and leaves a fresh, non‑greasy finish — suitable even under makeup.

• Great for all skin types, particularly dry, dehydrated, sensitive, combination, or oily skin looking for hydration without heaviness.
