While we’re always captivated by a celebrity’s red carpet makeup, the real star of the show is often their skincare routine. As any beauty aficionado knows, half the battle in achieving a flawless makeup look lies in your skincare providing a smooth, hydrated base for products.
Selena Gomez is well-known for her stunning red carpet looks, and her makeup artist, Hung Vanngo, recently let slip that he preps her skin using Dr Althea’s 345 Relief Cream, £32.99, a cult favourite Korean moisturiser. This moisturiser has taken TikTok by storm with over 18 million views but was previously unavailable in the UK – until now.

This viral sensation is now finally available on Amazon, allowing UK shoppers to see if it lives up to its reputation. Even better, the Dr Althea 345 Relief Cream is already discounted, reduced from its usual price of £35.99 to £30.50.
Given that Selena has her own beauty line with Rare Beauty, her willingness to use the 345 Relief Cream for high-profile events like red carpets speaks volumes about its effectiveness. While it can be used as a regular moisturiser under makeup, it also serves as a soothing step in your evening skincare routine.
Each application offers your skin a deep hydration boost, while also soothing any irritation or sensitivity. It fortifies your skin barrier and manages to do so without clogging your pores – a common cause of acne and breakouts.

The 345 Reliefe Cream boasts a blend of niacinamide and plant extracts, which work together to reduce dark spots and blemishes, resulting in a more even, clear and radiant complexion. It’s also packed with ceramide NP and hyaluronic acid for that intense hydration surge and provides some added nutrients to your skin.
Weleda Skin Food is another celeb favourite with similar results, boasting fans from Victoria Beckham to Rihanna and Adele. However, its thick, heavy consistency isn’t for everyone, which is why the Weleda Skin Food Light (£15.95) has gained popularity, thanks to its lighter, silkier formula, reports the Mirror.
Skin + Me’s Soothe + Smooth Rich Moisturiser (£21.99) is another worthy alternative, containing shea butter, glycerin and hyaluronic acid to calm, soothe and hydrate tight, sensitive skin. But Selena’s preferred Dr Althea 345 Relief Cream has gone viral for good reason, and now that it’s finally available in the UK, it’s bound to top many skincare enthusiasts’ shopping lists.
