Key ingredients
Niacinamide (Niathione Complex)
The lead brightening active — vitamin B3 reduces the transfer of melanin to skin cells, visibly evens tone, refines pores, and supports the skin barrier. The product name "Niathione" combines Niacinamide and Glutathione, the two brightening pillars of this formula.
Glutathione
A master antioxidant naturally produced by the body that helps neutralise free radicals, reduce oxidative stress at the cellular level, and support a clearer, more even-looking complexion with continued use.
Titanium Dioxide + Panthenol
Titanium Dioxide provides an immediate soft-focus brightening effect on application, creating an instant tone-up finish. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) deeply hydrates and soothes the skin, helping maintain comfort and suppleness throughout the day.
Licorice Root + Terminalia Ferdinandiana
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract delivers glabridin, a compound that inhibits melanin-triggering enzymes and soothes skin redness. Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) Fruit Extract — one of the world's richest natural sources of Vitamin C — adds antioxidant protection and brightening support.
Product details
Full description
The Dr. Althea Niathione Cream is a dual-purpose brightening and hydrating face cream designed around the brand's "Niathione Complex" — a combination of Niacinamide and Glutathione, two of the most studied and complementary ingredients in skin brightening science. Where Niacinamide works by interrupting the melanin transfer process at the surface and barrier levels, Glutathione acts deeper as an antioxidant, counteracting the oxidative triggers that lead to the formation of dark spots and uneven tone.
Beyond the core brightening actives, the formula brings in additional tone-correction support from Licorice Root Extract — rich in glabridin, which inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme central to melanin production — and Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) Fruit Extract, one of the highest known natural sources of Vitamin C, for further antioxidant and brightening benefit. A light tangerine scent from Citrus Tangerina Extract contributes a fresh, citrus character to the application experience.
Titanium Dioxide gives an immediate, visible soft-brightening effect on application — making this equally suited for use as a daytime tone-up step before makeup or as an evening brightening treatment. Panthenol provides deep humectant hydration and soothes sensitised skin, while Glycerin and Betaine maintain smooth, balanced moisture throughout the day. The lightweight cream texture absorbs comfortably without stickiness or heaviness.
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, and during pregnancy. Free from harsh alcohols and parabens. Contains fragrance (Parfum) — patch test recommended for those with fragrance sensitivity.
