Summer in the UAE is no ordinary season. With temperatures soaring past 45°C and humidity levels that leave your skin feeling perpetually stressed, your skincare routine needs to work harder than ever. If you're dealing with redness, sensitivity, or a compromised skin barrier from the relentless heat, the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream might just be the hero product your routine is missing.
In this post, we break down why this cult-favourite Korean cream is a summer essential for UAE skin — and which sunscreens pair perfectly with it for complete sun protection.
What Is the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream?
The Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is a dermatologist-developed barrier repair cream formulated with three key actives: Centella Asiatica, Ceramides, and Panthenol (Vitamin B5). Together, these ingredients calm inflammation, restore the skin barrier, and lock in moisture — exactly what UAE skin needs after sun exposure, air conditioning, and heat stress.
Key benefits:
- Soothes redness and irritation caused by heat and UV exposure
- Repairs and strengthens the skin barrier
- Deeply hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy
- Suitable for sensitive, acne-prone, and post-treatment skin
- Fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested

Why It’s a Summer Must-Have in the UAE
The UAE summer creates a perfect storm for skin damage: intense UV radiation outdoors, freezing AC indoors, and constant temperature fluctuations. This cycle strips the skin barrier, leading to dryness, sensitivity, and breakouts.
The 345 Relief Cream acts as a barrier shield — calming skin after sun exposure and replenishing what the AC strips away. It’s lightweight enough to wear in summer heat yet effective enough to deliver real repair overnight.
