Frequently asked

How can I tell an original Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream from a fake?
Compare the tube with photos on Dr. Althea’s official channels: the printing should be sharp, the text free of errors, and the batch code and expiry date clearly printed. Dr. Althea has updated the formula, so older and newer tubes list slightly different ingredients. Baseshop sells only original Dr. Althea products.

Is 345 Relief Cream good for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes. Its light gel texture absorbs quickly, which suits oily and combination skin, and the brand says it is for all skin types. It is made to calm and care for skin after breakouts rather than for active acne; if breakouts persist, see a doctor.

Can I use 345 Relief Cream every day?
Yes, morning and evening as the last step, with sunscreen on top in the morning. It is also a comforting step on evenings when you use stronger actives such as retinol or acids.
