## How it works

Double Serum Balm Foundation is a foundation from Dr. Althea, sold here in its Korean-market packaging rather than a US retail reformulation. It takes as the final base-makeup step, over sunscreen and moisturizer. The foundation format, not a special claim on top of it, is what fixes where this sits in a routine and how it is meant to be used. A foundation in this format is built to blend thin and build in layers, which is what keeps coverage even rather than patchy.

## How to use

1. Use the Double Serum Balm Foundation last, after your skincare has settled for a few minutes.
2. Work a small amount onto the back of your hand first so it softens, then place it where you want coverage and blend outward.
3. Build it in thin passes rather than one thick one, and press the edges in at the jaw and hairline.
4. Remove it with an oil or balm cleanser in the evening, then a water-based wash. Do not rely on a foam cleanser alone.

## FAQ

### Is the Double Serum Balm Foundation sold here Dr. Althea's Korean-market formula?

Yes. What ships is Dr. Althea's release for the Korean market: the formula and packaging sold in Korea, with the Korean-market barcode and batch code intact on the box rather than swapped for an export or US-retail label.

### Where does the Double Serum Balm Foundation go in a routine?

It takes as the final base-makeup step, over sunscreen and moisturizer. That placement follows from what a foundation is, not from anything unusual about this specific unit. A foundation in this format is built to blend thin and build in layers, which is what keeps coverage even rather than patchy, so moving it earlier or later in a routine works against the format rather than with it.

### Who is the Double Serum Balm Foundation best suited for?

Normal, Combination, Dry skin types get the most straightforward use from a foundation in this format. Patch test first, as with any new product entering a routine, and give it a week or two before judging the fit.

### What format is the Double Serum Balm Foundation, and how does that change how it is used?

It is a foundation, and the format sets the routine rules that come with it: Apply after sunscreen and moisturizer, blending outward from the center of the face with a brush, sponge, or fingers. Dr. Althea builds this one to match that format rather than departing from it.

### How does buying the Double Serum Balm Foundation here compare with a US retailer carrying the same name?

A US listing under the same product name can be a reformulated export version and rarely states which one it is selling. What we carry is the Korean-market Dr. Althea release, identified by its intact Korean barcode and batch code on the box rather than a relabeled export carton, so the unit you get matches what is sold on shelf in Korea.
