Core Product Details

Five Complexion Essentials within One Elegant Compact

Dr.Althea Aurora Cover Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ in No. 23 brings together the convenience of Korean cushion makeup and the polished performance of a buildable foundation. Designed as a five-in-one base, it combines essence, sunscreen, primer, concealer and foundation in one portable compact. Each press of the puff releases a controlled veil of natural-beige colour that helps soften visible redness, uneven tone and imperfections without immediately creating a heavy or mask-like finish.

No. 23 for a Natural Light-Medium Beige Match

Shade No. 23 is the deepest option in the original three-shade range and is generally best suited to light-medium complexions seeking a natural beige finish. It offers more depth than No. 13 and No. 21 while preserving the bright, polished character associated with Korean cushion makeup. Shade appearance may change according to undertone, lighting and natural skin depth, so the most harmonious match should blend into the jawline and neck.

Buildable Coverage without Losing Natural Dimension

The formula provides medium-to-high coverage that can be adjusted according to the day. A thin first layer helps even the complexion and soften visible redness, while additional tapping over blemishes or discolouration creates more focused coverage. Applying extra product only where it is needed helps preserve natural facial dimension and prevents the base from appearing unnecessarily dense.

60% Essence for Comfortable Semi-Matte Wear

The original Aurora Cover Cushion is described as containing 60% moisturizing essence. This moisture-rich component helps balance the formula’s semi-matte character, allowing it to control visible shine without making the complexion look flat or excessively dry. The result is a refined satin effect that feels polished while remaining comfortable over properly prepared skin.

Niacinamide and Adenosine beyond Basic Coverage

Niacinamide supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion, while Adenosine complements the formula with visible wrinkle-care benefits. These ingredients give the cushion a skincare-inspired dimension, although the compact remains a makeup product and should not replace a dedicated serum, moisturizer or treatment routine.

Cica and Floral Extracts for Conditioning Care

Centella Asiatica, Chamomile and Portulaca extracts help maintain a calm, conditioned skin feel. Peach Flower, Prunus Mume, Lotus, Magnolia, Camellia and Cherry Blossom extracts add further botanical support, reflecting Dr.Althea’s South Korean approach to blending complexion makeup with familiar skincare ingredients.

A Cushion Structure Designed for Controlled Application

The inner sponge holds the liquid foundation and releases it gradually through the puff. This controlled delivery makes it easier to create thin, even layers and reduces the likelihood of applying too much foundation at once. Press lightly into the cushion, distribute the formula across the puff and tap it gently onto the complexion.

A Semi-Matte Base with Long-Wear Support

Trimethylsiloxysilicate helps the formula adhere to the skin and maintain coverage throughout wear. The semi-matte finish reduces the look of excess oil while retaining enough luminosity to keep the complexion from appearing overly powdery. For touch-ups, blot first and add only a small amount where the foundation has faded.

SPF50+ PA+++ as Supplementary Sun Protection

The cushion combines mineral and organic UV filters and carries an SPF50+ PA+++ rating. Because foundation is usually applied more sparingly than sunscreen testing requires, it is best considered supplementary protection. Apply a dedicated sunscreen first, allow it to settle and use the cushion to complete the complexion.

A Natural Beige Aurora for Smooth, Refined Korean Coverage

There is an understated luxury in foundation that perfects the complexion without erasing its natural character. Dr.Althea Aurora Cover Cushion in No. 23 pairs natural-beige coverage with essence-rich comfort, soothing botanical extracts and a softly polished finish. Each delicate layer helps the skin appear smoother, more even and quietly illuminated while remaining easy to refresh throughout the day.
