About the DR. ALTHEA Aqua Glowing Sunscreen (45ml)

DR. ALTHEA’s Aqua Glowing Sunscreen is a lightweight, hydrating formula that provides broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ protection while keeping skin nourished, soothed, and glowing. Unlike traditional sunscreens that can feel heavy or leave a white cast, this cream-textured chemical sunscreen blends effortlessly into the skin, delivering invisible, non-sticky protection that is comfortable for daily wear.

At the heart of the formula is Bamboo Water, which supports skin restoration and maintains a clear, healthy complexion. To replenish and calm, Panthenol provides instant hydration while softening the skin, and Sea Grape Extract helps lock in moisture for long-lasting smoothness. The addition of vegan PDRN, derived from seaweed, boosts skin regeneration and collagen production, reinforcing the skin barrier and leaving the complexion firmer and more resilient over time.

Dermatologist-tested and vegan-certified, this sunscreen is perfectly suited for all skin types, including dry, sensitive, or unbalanced skin. Its refreshing, lightweight texture makes it ideal as the last step in your skincare routine or as a primer under makeup, giving skin a natural, dewy glow without ever feeling greasy.

It’s Skin Cupid approved because…

…it pairs powerful sun protection with skin-restoring hydration, keeping your complexion safe, smooth, and radiant every day.

Ingredients in DR. ALTHEA Aqua Glowing Sunscreen (45ml)

Bamboo Water: Packed with amino acids, Bamboo Water contributes to skin health in multiple ways, such as locking in moisture, stimulating collagen production, and improving blood circulation for fuller, younger-looking skin.

Panthenol: Panthenol holds and binds to water, keeping essential moisture locked into your skin, as well as promoting wound healing.

Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract: Also known as Sea Grape, this seaweed extract is loaded with amino acids and minerals that work in harmony to quench dry skin, promote moisture circulation, shield skin from external aggressors, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and boost skin elasticity.

Ceramide NP: A fatty acid found naturally in the skin, Ceramide NP helps to hold skin cells together in the outermost layer of your skin, preventing moisture loss and minimising visible damage from environmental stressors such as pollution.

Niacinamide: A water-soluble form of Vitamin B3, Niacinamide works with the natural substances of the skin to help even out skin tone, improve dullness, and bolster weakened skin barriers.

Seaweed PDRN (Sodium DNA): Sodium DNA is a sodium salt of DNA, here extracted from a seaweed, that encourages skin regeneration and elasticity by increasing cell proliferation in fibroblasts, which are responsible for skin collagen production. It also helps boost skin hydration levels and soothe inflammation.

FAQs about DR. ALTHEA Aqua Glowing Sunscreen (45ml)

Is it suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. It's dermatologist-tested, vegan-certified, and designed to suit all skin types, with a particular focus on dry and sensitive skin. The hydrating, barrier-supportive formula also tends to work well for acne-prone or unbalanced skin. If your skin is very reactive, a patch test is always a sensible first step.

What's in it, and what does each ingredient do?

The formula is built around hydration and barrier support:

Bamboo Water: aids skin recovery and keeps the complexion clear and comfortable
Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5): deeply hydrates, soothes, and softens dry or sensitive areas
Sea Grape Extract (Caulerpa Lentillifera): locks in moisture and helps skin feel smoother and bouncier
Vegan PDRN (Sodium DNA from seaweed): supports skin regeneration and helps strengthen the barrier
Niacinamide: brightens uneven tone and supports barrier function
Hyaluronic Acid: draws water into the skin for a plump, dewy finish
Ceramide: reinforces the barrier and reduces moisture loss
Vitamin E (Tocopherol): antioxidant that helps protect against environmental stressors

Does it leave a white cast?

No. It's a chemical sunscreen, so it blends invisibly into the skin without leaving a white cast.

Does it leave any tint or colour on the skin?

No, it's a transparent formula with no tint or coverage. It blends in invisibly and doesn't leave a white cast, so it works well under makeup or on its own.
