Selena Gomez’s makeup artist shared with fans the one brand he swears by for getting Selena red carpet-ready, and it’s just landed on sale for 20% less
With the Grammys fast approaching, we’re all eager to see our favourite artists’ outfits and full glam beats as they walk the red carpet. That said, we don’t yet have a behind-the-scenes breakdown of celebrities’ beauty routines before the big event. But when it comes to Selena Gomez, we can make an educated guess at what makeup and skincare products her makeup artist will be using before her Grammys appearance.
At both the Golden Globes 2025 and this year’s ceremony, makeup artist Hung Vanngo revealed he uses the viral K-Beauty brand Dr Althea on Selena Gomez before she walked the carpet. The Dr Althea 345 Relief Cream went viral on TikTok, with over 18 million views before it even became available to shop in the UK, in May 2025.

Given that she owns her own cosmetics brand, Rare Beauty, Selena’s willingness to rely on the 345 Relief Cream for major occasions, such as red carpet events, speaks volumes about its potency. Whilst it works brilliantly as an everyday moisturiser beneath makeup, it is also said to serve as an excellent calming treatment in your nighttime skincare ritual.
Every application delivers deep moisture to your skin, whilst soothing any irritation or sensitivity. It bolsters your skin’s protective barrier, achieving all this without blocking pores that might trigger spots and breakouts.
The formula features a combination of niacinamide and botanical extracts, which diminish dark patches and imperfections while promoting a more uniform, luminous and clear complexion. Additionally, it includes ceramide NP and hyaluronic acid for that powerful hydration kick and supplies extra nourishment to your skin.
According to the product description, the Dr Althea 345 cream “offers a moisturising texture with a silky finish without any greasy feeling. Its refreshing formula is ideal for any time as part of your post-acne skincare routine.”
What’s more, the moisturiser Selena swears by ahead of major public appearances is currently available on Amazon for the budget-friendly price of £19.98, down from £24.99, making Amazon one of the cheapest places to pick up the viral cream.
Another moisturiser to consider if you’re sticking to a tight budget is this celebrity-approved Weleda Skin Food, which is currently on sale at Lookfantastic for £11.96, down from £15.95.
Or, for beauty buffs who don’t mind splashing some cash, why not pick up Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream Moisturiser, which is up for grabs at Cult Beauty for £54.
Going back to the Dr Althea cream, it doesn’t just come with the stamp of approval from celebrities, as it currently boasts over 11k reviews from Amazon customers.
One buyer who joins Selena in using this Relief Cream raves: “As someone with sensitive, blemish-prone skin, finding a moisturiser that actually repairs the skin barrier without causing new breakouts is a constant struggle. I’ve been using the Dr Althea 345 Relief Cream for around 1 year now, and it has officially become my “holy grail” moisturiser. It targets post-acne marks and redness in a way few other creams do.”
They continue: “If you have oily, combination, or acne-prone skin and you’re tired of heavy creams that clog your pores, this is a must-try. It’s a powerhouse for soothing inflammation and healing the skin. I will absolutely be repurchasing this!”
More praise comes from this shopper who says: “Transformed my skin! Definitely worth the hype. Would definitely recommend it if you want clear, glowing skin.”
Another reviewer beams: “Best skin moisturiser, period! Can’t rave about it enough. My skin is usually so sensitive to anything, but this just leaves it feeling dewy and healthy without any noticeable side effects.”
Though one buyer does voice their gripe with the moisturiser, writing: “I found it okay for my skin type. I don’t think it did anything for my hyperpigmentation. I have acne-prone skin, and I think this is my 6th tube. And I am not very fond of it. But it might work for others, but this is not for me.”
But the accolades continue to pour in as yet another shopper gushes: “Heaven on earth I would say.. this cream has literally changed my skin… i had bacterial acne and scars this cream worked like magic.. my acne is gone it’s totally gone.. and scars are fading slowly.. It’s definitely lightweight and hydrating.. i use this cream twice a day..”
