Dr.Althea Aqua Marine Watery Cream — Lightweight Hydrating Face Moisturizer, 1.69 fl oz | Hyaluronic Acid & Bambusa Water

Dr.Althea Aqua Marine Watery Cream is a lightweight, vegan daily face moisturizer that delivers deep, long-lasting hydration using Bambusa Vulgaris Water and hyaluronic acid without a greasy finish.

This Korean-formulated cream targets moisture from within to help skin feel plump, soothed, and balanced throughout the day. Designed for all skin types including sensitive skin, it layers easily under makeup, absorbs quickly, and relies on panthenol and guaiazulene alongside hyaluronic acid to support the skin’s barrier and comfort level. The product is free from artificial colors, added fragrance, and parabens and is vegan-certified.

How does this cream hydrate skin differently from a regular moisturizer?

Instead of standard purified water, the formula uses Bambusa Vulgaris Water as its main aqueous base to enhance moisture delivery. Hyaluronic acid draws and holds water in the skin, while panthenol helps lock that hydration in to extend the effect.

• Bambusa Vulgaris Water as primary water phase for deeper hydration
• Hyaluronic acid for moisture retention at multiple skin layers
• Panthenol to reinforce barrier and reduce moisture loss

Will this feel greasy or heavy on my face?

No — the texture is described as watery and lightweight, formulated to absorb quickly and leave a fresh, non-greasy finish suitable for morning or evening routines. That makes it easy to layer with sunscreen, makeup, or heavier night creams if additional occlusion is desired.

• Light watery cream that sinks in fast
• Non-greasy finish supports makeup application
• Works for both AM and PM use without weighing skin down

Is it appropriate for sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes — the formula is dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and includes soothing guaiazulene alongside panthenol to calm the skin. The product omits artificial coloring, fragrance, and parabens, reducing common irritant sources.

• Guaiazulene helps comfort and reduce visible stress signs
• Fragrance-free and colorant-free to lower irritation risk
• Dermatologically tested with measurable increases in hydration

How much product do I get and how should I use it in my routine?

The jar contains 1.69 fl oz (approximately 50 mL) — a typical size for face creams that lasts several weeks with daily use. Apply after cleansing and any water-based serums; gently smooth a pea-to-fingertip amount over face and neck, patting lightly until absorbed.

• Use morning and night after serums and before sunscreen (AM)
• Apply a lighter layer in summer and a slightly thicker layer in dry months
• Suitable as a final hydrating step in multi-step routines

Who is this for? Dr.Althea Aqua Marine Watery Cream suits anyone seeking a clean, vegan Korean moisturizer that prioritizes deep hydration without heaviness—ideal for combination, normal, dry, and sensitive skin types, as well as those who prefer fragrance-free, cruelty-conscious skincare. It’s a practical choice for shoppers wanting an every-day hydrator that layers well in makeup routines, supports the skin barrier, and keeps skin feeling comfortably hydrated from the inside out.
