Korean beauty fans will already be familiar with Dr. Jart+, a science-savvy skincare brand with a wide-offering of innovative products ranging from sheet masks to serums. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your skincare routine or target a specific skin concern, Dr. Jart+ is one of our go-to brands to recommend.
Launched in 2005, the products are a fusion of the latest skincare technologies and trends. Each and every formula includes key active ingredients and incorporates the Korean approach to beauty with a focus on healthy, hydrated skin. From the iconic redness-reducing Cicapair range to the skin barrier-boosting Ceramidin collection, these products deliver impressive results.
Here’s everything you need to know about the five key Dr. Jart+ skincare ranges, including the latest launches from the brand.
1. Cicapair
What does it do?
K-beauty staple cica (also known as tiger grass or centella asiatica) is renowned for its ability to not only soothe redness, calm sensitivity, and heal damaged skin, but also protect skin from future damage. The Cicapair range is formulated to do just that in order to restore strength and balance to your skin.
Who is it for?
Those who experience irritation and sensitivity or want to calm and neutralise redness will really benefit from this collection. The products can also be especially beneficial to skin that’s prone to breakouts and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
What’s inside?
Aside from cica, you’ll find heavyweight ingredients like probiotics, niacianamide, and algae extracts – all of which have their own skin-calming and repairing benefits.
Beauty editor’s pick: Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Colour Correcting Treatment
“This multitasking treatment is the skin-saviour you need if your skin is going through a major freakout. As a beauty editor I try a lot of products, which can really take its toll on my skin. If I’ve had a reaction to a product or my skin is stressed from too much chopping and changing, then redness is on the cards. But not for long… This soothing creamy solution offers both short term and long term relief – camouflaging redness instantly while cica works to soothe inflammation.”
2. Vital Hydra Solution
What does it do?
The Vital Hydra is all about achieving that plump, glowy, glass-skin glow. Packed with hydrating ingredients, these products offer an intensive moisture hit which not only instantly increases skin’ moisture levels but also works in the long-term to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and prevent future dehydration.
Who is it for?
Any skin type and concern can benefit from a hydration boost, but those who notice signs of dehydration (dull, tired looking skin which can feel tight and dry) will really see and feel the results.
What’s inside?
Five(!) different types of hyaluronic acid (each molecule of which has the ability to hold up to 1000x times its weight in water), probiotics, and seaweed extract.
Beauty editor’s pick: Dr. Jart+ Vital Hydra Solution Hydro Plump Water Cream
“This is my favourite kind of moisturiser—packed with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and niacinamide, and with a lightweight gel-cream texture which feels super refreshing. I use it both morning and night, and it leaves my dehydrated skin feeling quenched and plumped with moisture every time.”
3. Ceramidin
What does it do?
Ceramides are lipids (fats) that are naturally found in our skin and are vital for keeping skin strong and supple, reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier, and targeting signs of dryness – but easily deplete due to factors like age and environment. The Ceramidin collection uses ceramides to quickly and effectively strengthen, smooth, and rehydrate skin, with long-lasting benefits.
Who is it for?
All skin types, but it’s especially suitable for those with dry or dehydrated skin that experiences flakiness, redness, and rough texture.
What’s inside?
The star ingredient is 5-Cera Complex, a blend of ceramides which delivers moisture deep into skin in order to restore and repair. You’ll also find hyaluronic acid (to draw moisture into skin), bifida ferment lysate (a probiotic), and beetroot (rich in vitamin C) in most of the formulas.
Beauty editor’s pick: Ceramidin Cream Mist
“I’m a huge fan of the famous Ceramidin Cream, but IMO the Ceramidin Cream Mist is the unsung hero of the range. While the cream is thick and nourishing and great for skin that’s really showing signs of dryness, the mist formula is lighter and perfect for layering beneath. It’s basically like a serum in spray-on form—in fact, it’s so potent that unless my skin is feeling really dry, I don’t need to apply moisturiser on top of it. Just cleanse, mist, SPF, and go.”
4. Pore Remedy
What does it do?
The Pore Remedy collection is designed to help to clear, smooth, and brighten skin. It’s especially beneficial for reducing the appearance of blackheads and pores.
Who is it for?
Skin that experiences sighs of congestion, such as bumpy texture, enlarged pores, blackheads, and oiliness.
What’s inside?
The hero ingredients within the Pore Remedy collection are polyhydroxy acids (PHAs). PHAs are chemical exfoliators which work to resurface and retexturize the skin. They function in a similar way to AHAs and BHAs, but as PHAs have a larger molecule size, they don’t penetrate the skin as deeply, which makes then a gentler and safer option for sensitive skin types or those new to using exfoliating acids.
Beauty editor’s pick: Dr. Jart+ Pore Remedy Renewing Foam Cleanser
“This gel cleanser foams into a thick, creamy texture which rinses away to leave skin feeling clean and refreshed but soft, soothed, and not at all stripped of moisture.”
5. Teatreement
What does it do?
Teatreement utilises Australia tea tree leaf and niacinamide to target spots, clear breakout-prone skin, reduce oiliness, and restore pH balance to skin.
Who is it for?
Those who experience oily, breakout-prone skin.
What’s inside?
Known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial benefits, tea tree is an effective ingredient for helping to both reduce existing breakout and prevent new ones from occurring. In addition, the Teatreement collection draws upon ingredients such as niacinamide (which balances oil levels), allanotin (to soothe skin), and salicylic acid.
Beauty editor’s pick: Dr. Jart+ Teatreement Moisturiser
“If your skin is breakout-prone and oily you might not be focused on hydration. However, keeping your skin well hydrated is the best way to ensure it can heal and defend itself from irritants. This is the perfect moisturiser to keep skin hydrated while also helping to treat and prevent breakouts. ”
