Base Skin Reset Duo (Dr. Althea)

Base Skin Reset Duo is a Baseshop set of two Dr. Althea creams for sensitive, reactive skin: the rich 147 Barrier Cream for barrier support and the lighter 345 Relief Cream for calming. Together they cover both needs, so you can choose the texture your skin wants each morning and evening. These are original Korean products, available at Baseshop in Yerevan with delivery across Armenia.

What is in the set

• Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream — the richer cream: 1 barrier ingredient (ectoin), 4 nourishing ingredients (ceramide NP, betaine, betulin and NAD) and 7 types of hyaluronic acid, for dry, tight skin.
• Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream — the lighter gel cream: 3 blemish-care, 4 nourishing and 5 soothing ingredients, including niacinamide, resveratrol and centella, for skin that looks red or stressed.

Key ingredients

• Ceramide NP — in both creams; helps reinforce the barrier and keep skin comfortable.
• Hyaluronic acid — in both creams; seven types in 147 and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid in 345 help skin hold on to moisture.
• Centella asiatica — in both creams; helps calm the look of redness.
• Niacinamide — in the 345 Relief Cream; helps even out the look of skin tone and post-blemish marks.
• Ectoin — in the 147 Barrier Cream; helps protect the skin from environmental stress.

Frequently asked

What do the numbers 147 and 345 mean?
They describe each formula. 147 means 1 barrier ingredient, 4 nourishing ingredients and 7 types of hyaluronic acid; 345 means 3 blemish-care, 4 nourishing and 5 soothing ingredients. Neither number is a count of all the ingredients.

Can I use both creams at the same time?
Yes. On very dry days, apply a thin layer of 345 first and 147 on top. The rest of the time, alternating them by time of day or by face area is enough.
