DR ALTHEA Rapid Firm Sculpting Cream 45ml is a medical-grade anti-aging 面霜 designed to address early skin sagging, improve facial contour, and provide long-lasting hydration. Its core features are:

1. Dual-Action: Rapid Firming + Long-Term Anti-Aging: Contains "instant firming peptides" (e.g., argireline) that temporarily tighten skin by reducing muscle contractions (visible effects within hours), and "long-term anti-aging actives" (e.g., collagen, adenosine) that stimulate collagen production to improve elasticity over 4-8 weeks of consistent use.
2. Sculpting & Contouring Effect: The lightweight-yet-rich texture adheres to the skin and forms a "lifting film" that subtly lifts sagging areas (e.g., jowls, cheeks)— it enhances facial bone structure without feeling stiff or greasy, making it suitable for use under makeup (no pilling).
3. Deep Hydration & Barrier Repair: Infused with multi-molecular hyaluronic acid (penetrates different skin layers) and shea butter (nourishes dry skin)— it replenishes moisture, repairs the skin barrier, and prevents dryness-induced dullness, leaving the skin plump and radiant.
4. Medical-Grade Gentle Formula: Free of ethanol (harsh alcohol), synthetic fragrances, parabens, mineral oil, and sulfates— developed with dermatological input and tested for skin irritation, making it safe for daily use (even for mild sensitive skin).
5. Luxurious Texture & Packaging: The cream has a smooth, creamy texture that absorbs quickly (no residue)— the 45ml jar comes with a spatula to avoid contamination (hygienic for long-term use) and features a minimalist, medical-style design that aligns with the brand’s professional positioning.

（specific ingredients subject to product packaging; core components listed below）：
Rapid Firming & Anti-Aging Actives:
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline): A peptide that reduces the activity of facial muscles (similar to botulinum toxin but milder), temporarily tightening the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines (visible effects within hours).
Collagen (Hydrolyzed Collagen): Small-molecule collagen that penetrates the skin’s upper layers, stimulates the production of native collagen, and improves skin elasticity over time (key for long-term firming).
Adenosine: A Korean KFDA-approved anti-aging ingredient that soothes the skin, reduces inflammation, and enhances collagen synthesis— it slows down the aging process and improves skin texture.
Moisturizing & Barrier-Repair Components:
Sodium Hyaluronate (Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid): A blend of high, medium, and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid— high molecular weight forms a moisture-locking film on the surface, while low molecular weight penetrates deep to hydrate from within.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: A natural emollient rich in fatty acids— it nourishes dry skin, repairs the skin barrier, and prevents moisture loss without clogging pores.
Glycerin (Vegetable-Derived): A humectant that attracts moisture from the air to the skin, keeping it plump and preventing dryness-induced dullness.
Skin-Soothing & Gentle Additives:
Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica): Reduces skin irritation caused by anti-aging actives, repairs damaged skin, and enhances the skin’s resistance to external stressors (e.g., UV, pollution).
Allantoin: Softens the skin, promotes mild cell renewal, and soothes any discomfort from dryness or tightness— ideal for sensitive skin.
Safety & Quality Assurance:
Free of ethanol (harsh alcohol), synthetic fragrances, parabens (e.g., methylparaben), mineral oil, sulfates (SLS/SLES), and synthetic colorants— tested for skin irritation by third-party laboratories, compliant with global skincare safety standards (e.g., EU REACH, US FDA).
Note: The formula is designed for facial use only— avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and broken skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Prep the skin: After cleansing and toning, pat the skin dry (ensure no excess toner remains, as this may dilute the cream’s efficacy). For better absorption, you can first apply a lightweight serum (e.g., hyaluronic acid serum) to hydrate the skin— wait 1-2 minutes for the serum to absorb.
Take the cream: Use the included spatula to scoop out a pea-sized amount of cream (a little goes a long way; excess may feel heavy). Avoid touching the cream with your fingers to prevent bacterial contamination.
Warm & spread: Rub the cream between your palms for 5-10 seconds to warm it up (this softens the texture and enhances absorption). Gently press the cream onto the face using upward motions— start from the chin, move up to the cheeks, then to the forehead (avoid pulling or stretching the skin, which may cause sagging).
Focus on sagging areas: For areas with obvious sagging (e.g., jowls, neck), apply a small extra amount of cream and gently lift upward with your fingertips (repeat 3-5 times) to enhance the firming effect. Avoid the eye area (use a dedicated eye cream instead).
Final absorption & follow-up: Wait 2-3 minutes for the cream to fully absorb before applying sunscreen (morning use) or going to bed (night use). For makeup days, apply foundation only after the cream is completely absorbed to prevent pilling. Use 1-2 times daily (morning and night) for best results— consistent use for 4+ weeks is recommended for long-term firming.
