Anything Dr Jart+ touches turns to beauty gold.
The Korean skincare label is riding the wave of K-Beauty popularity and is at the forefront, bringing with the traditions and practices from The Land of the Morning Calm (think dewy skin, a ritualistic approach to skincare and the importance on skin’s health) to our everyday routines.
BB creams had a huge surge in popularity in the early 2010s but seemed to slip off our radar, eclipsed by fuller coverage favourites and the emergence of the contour revolution. But, much like in fashion, beauty trends are cyclical and the latest penchant for minimalistic makeup and a movement towards fresh-faced finishes has seen the humble balms return to our natural everyday makeup looks.
It will come as no surprise to casual cosmetic wearers that these multitasking makeup-skincare hybrids are having a comeback - the #bbcream has had 140K views on TikTok in the UK in just the last week. We want each and every product in our beauty bags to work harder for us and that’s exactly where the Dr.Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm BB Cream SPF50 comes in.
To streamline your application, it works triple duty to hydrate, conceal and protect. With niacinamide at its heart to shield against pollution and lock in moisture, glycerin for hydration and SPF50 to guard against UVA and UVB rays, this is a tinted product to even out the complexion that is also kind on the skin’s barrier.
What Are The Key Ingredients in Dr. Jart Skin Care?
A large number of scientific reports involving in vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that these compounds can cause a significant increase in the percentage of collagen and cell layer fibronectin, as well as significantly improve the tensile strength of newly formed skin. For example, a 2006 study published in Planta Medica discovered that asiaticoside induces human collagen I synthesis through TGFbeta receptor I kinase (TbetaRI kinase)-independent Smad signaling. Collagen is the main structural protein found abundantly in the skin’s extracellular space, as well as many other parts of the body. It is what gives our skin strength and durability. Thus, by increasing collagen production, the Dr. Jart skin care products that include tiger grass should help to restore a firm, youthful appearance to the skin.
Jartbiome, brand’s proprietary microbiome complex, is another key ingredient that can be found in several Dr. Jart skin care products, including the Cicapair Tiger Grass Serum. The microbiome is a population of many types of bacteria (over 10,000 different species) that live on the skin. There are good bacteria that help to protect the skin, but sometimes bad bacteria can begin to populate, which may lead to acne, redness, and dryness. Jartbiome is intended to balance the microbiome by supporting the good bacteria and helping to eliminate the bad bacteria, thereby strengthening the skin and improving skin’s defenses against dryness.
Ceramides are the key ingredients found in Dr. Jart Ceramidin Cream (although they are the very last ingredients on the ingredient list). Ceramides are a family of waxy lipid molecules that are naturally produced by the skin and are vital in supporting the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum is the outer layer of skin, which can be thought of as a “brick and mortar” system. The bricks are the corneocytes (dead skin cells) and the intercellular lipids (ceramides) represent the mortar. Without ceramides, the skin barrier is weakened, just like without mortar a brick wall would be weak and unstable. The result is skin that can easily become dry, itchy, or irritated. A properly functioning stratum corneum is essential for healthy skin as it maintains epidermal hydration and serves as a barrier that responds to environmental stressors, infections, irritants, and allergens. Topical application of ceramides can help to replenish ceramide levels, thus restoring the skin’s natural barrier.

This creamy texture of this BB product glided onto the skin with ease. I buffed out with a brush but you could just as easily apply with your fingers for similar results. At first, I thought it may be a little dark for my skin tone but actually adapted when blended, even after a fake tan session the following day.
It formed a veil over the skin to perfect the complexion and blur the red aftermath of a recent breakout and it becomes even more full coverage with a second layer. I think this is the beauty of this Dr Jart+ hero, it’s so buildable.
To nail the skinimalism, no-makeup makeup look that is at the forefront of the beauty agenda right now, this formula is a holy grail. While imparting the tint (and a little goes a long way), it feels hydrating on the skin too with no dryness or flaking following the application and there was no cast to speak of. The BB Cream then feels like a second skin, totally weightless.
This is my skin, but with a flawless finish. It’s a yes from me.
