Our take on the Dr Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum

Dr Althea Gentle Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing brightening serum built around vitamin C, aimed at dullness, dark spots and uneven tone. It is marketed as gentle enough for sensitive skin, with an oil capsule system and a formula designed not to yellow. It layers under moisturizer and sunscreen and is meant for daily daytime use. At $12.39 on eBay as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range across six stores.
