I had high hopes for this skincare line - it came well recommended for redness and irritation/sensitive skin. Why is there fragrance in it? I didn’t realise this until I had purchased it, and it irritated my skin within 24 hours. Such a shame, because the ingredients mostly are amazing.
I premise that I DO LOVE Dr.Jart, but this cream is just not for me. I love the consistency and the scent, as well as the package and the list of ingredients. it contains all the best soothing ones: Madecasosside, Allantoin, and all the extracts of Centella Asiatica. This cream irritates and itches my skin though. I use other products with Centella Asiatica and they work wonderfully on my skin. I Show more

This is a really nice moisturizer when my skin is super dry and it needs a lot of moisture. I also love the velvety texture. It also doesn't clog my pores.
Way too thick for acne-prone.
