The Science of the 3-4-5 Formula
Dr. Althea’s rise to global fame is led by their innovative numbered approach to skincare. The signature 345 Relief Cream, for example, is formulated with 3 blemish-relief ingredients, 4 nourishing agents, and 5 soothing extracts. This level of transparency ensures that users with acne-prone or sensitive skin know exactly how their products are working to calm inflammation and rebuild the epidermal shield.
