The Dr. Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum is a foam-to-water glow serum that replaces your toner, serum, and occasional bubble mask in a single lightweight step — dispensing as a fluffy, airy mousse that collapses instantly into a weightless watery essence the moment it meets skin. The result is a deep burst of hydration, a visibly smoothed texture, and a lit-from-within radiance that doesn't require effort to achieve. Clinically tested to improve skin tone immediately after a single use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe name \"ABC\" tells you exactly what's driving the formula. \u003cstrong\u003eA\u003c\/strong\u003e is for Allantoin — a soothing, skin-conditioning ingredient that calms redness and irritation, accelerates cellular renewal, and makes the formula comfortable for daily use on even the most reactive skin. \u003cstrong\u003eB\u003c\/strong\u003e is for Bakuchiol — the plant-derived retinol alternative extracted from the babchi plant that delivers retinol-like gene expression results (upregulating collagen I, III and IV, downregulating the MMP enzymes that break down existing collagen) without the irritation, photosensitivity, or barrier disruption of actual retinoids. A 2018 double-blind clinical study found Bakuchiol comparable to retinol for addressing photoaging at 12 weeks, with significantly better tolerability — making it an active ingredient that genuinely works, not just a gentle placeholder. \u003cstrong\u003eC\u003c\/strong\u003e is for Collagen Water — the entire base of the formula, accounting for 90% of the product, is vegan collagen water rather than plain aqua. This means every application delivers continuous firmness-supporting and moisture-retaining benefits from the first layer in the routine rather than waiting until a dedicated serum or cream step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eVitamin Tree Water (Hippophae Rhamnoides) — sea buckthorn water — brings one of nature's highest natural concentrations of Vitamin C to the formula, brightening skin tone, providing antioxidant protection against environmental stressors, and contributing to the natural glow the serum is named for. Coptis Japonica Root Extract adds calming, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory support — particularly beneficial for oily and blemish-prone skin. A nourishing complex of Corn Kernel Extract, Fructan (a prebiotic-adjacent polysaccharide), and Glucose rounds out the hydration and smoothing support, keeping skin plump and resilient after the foam absorbs. Glycerin and Butylene Glycol maintain water content and support a soft, non-sticky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe micro-bubble technology is functional, not just a texture gimmick — the fine air bubbles act as delivery vehicles, collapsing against the skin to deposit active ingredients rapidly and evenly, driving faster absorption than a standard liquid serum while leaving zero heaviness or residue. The result preps skin beautifully for the next steps and, notably, for makeup — acting as a glass-skin primer that helps foundation sit more smoothly and last longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3-in-1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toner + Serum + Bubble Mask\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin types:\u003c\/strong\u003e All skin types, including sensitive and oily\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree from:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fragrance, harsh alcohols, parabens, silicones, sulfates, oils, common allergens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegan · Cruelty-free · Made in Korea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaily care (toner\/serum step):\u003c\/em\u003e After cleansing, shake well and dispense 1–2 pumps onto palms.

The foam-to-water experience is genuinely unlike anything else in K-beauty at this price point — it feels indulgent in a way that simple toners and essences don't, and the bubble mask functionality means it works as an occasional treatment without requiring a separate product. The 90% collagen water base is an intelligent formulation choice: instead of listing collagen as a trace ingredient near the bottom of the INCI, Dr. Althea built the entire formula around it. And Bakuchiol here is doing real anti-aging work without any of the retinol baggage — no SPF adjustments needed, no adaptation period, no dryness. For customers wanting a glow-focused, low-effort first layer that still brings genuine actives, this is our first recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr. Althea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57868868714828,"sku":"DRA-SER-003","price":22.26,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/2311\/7132\/files\/260119___ABC___-06.webp?v=1782197818","url":"https:\/\/www.seoulma-skincare.com\/products\/dr-althea-abc-glow-whipped-serum-100ml","provider":"Seoulma-skincare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
