Dr. Althea Purifying Green Tea Sunscreen - 50ml
Dr. Althea Purifying Green Tea Sunscreen (50ml) solves the problem every person in Kuwait faces but rarely addresses properly: how to wear SPF every single day without hating the experience. This is not the heavy, greasy, white-casting sunscreen of the past. Formulated with Niacinamide, Collagen, Centella Asiatica, it provides next-generation broad-spectrum protection that sits invisible on skin, wears comfortably under makeup, and makes daily SPF something you actually look forward to.
Why Dr. Althea Purifying Green Tea Sunscreen?
Kuwait's UV Index regularly reaches 10–11 — among the highest in the world. Every 10 minutes of unprotected sun exposure can cause measurable DNA damage to skin cells. Dr. Althea Purifying Green Tea Sunscreen provides the UVA and UVB protection needed to prevent photoageing, dark spots, and long-term skin damage, wrapped in a formula genuinely designed for the Middle Eastern climate.

Texture & Experience
Applies with a smooth, elegant texture that blends into skin with minimal effort, drying quickly to a clean, weightless finish with no greasy afterfeel — perfect worn alone or under foundation.
Key Ingredients & What They Do
- Niacinamide: A clinically proven form of vitamin b3 that minimises pores, regulates excess oil, strengthens the skin barrier, and targets uneven skin tone simultaneously.
- Collagen: A structural protein that supports skin firmness and elasticity; topically applied collagen hydrates and plumps the skin surface for a visibly bouncy complexion.
- Centella Asiatica: "tiger grass" — a revered botanical that accelerates healing, calms inflammation, strengthens the skin barrier, and promotes collagen synthesis.
How to Use
- Apply an even layer to your face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure.
Who Is This For?
Everyone — no exceptions. Non-negotiable for all skin types and tones. Especially critical for anyone targeting brightening, anti-ageing, or managing hyperpigmentation, as sun exposure directly counteracts all of these goals.
Expert Tips for Best Results
- Apply SPF on indoor days too — UVA rays penetrate glass windows and cause cumulative skin ageing.
- The "two finger rule": a strip of product across both fingers = the correct amount for face and neck.
- Pair Dr. Althea Purifying Green Tea Sunscreen with a Vitamin C serum in the AM for maximum antioxidant + UV protection.
- SPF setting spray makes reapplication possible over makeup without disrupting your look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need SPF if I am mostly indoors in Kuwait?
Yes. UVA rays — responsible for premature ageing, collagen breakdown, and dark spots — penetrate glass completely. They pass through office and car windows without any reduction. Daily SPF, even indoors, is the single highest-impact anti-ageing decision you can make.
How much sunscreen should I apply?
SPF ratings are tested at 2mg per cm² of skin. For the face and neck, this means approximately ¼ teaspoon (1.5ml). Most people apply 20–50% of the correct amount, effectively halving their real-world SPF protection.
Can I apply this over my skincare and under makeup?
Dr. Althea Purifying Green Tea Sunscreen is designed as the bridge between skincare and makeup. Allow 2–3 minutes to set, then apply primer or foundation directly over it. The formula will not pill or interfere with makeup.
