Known for: Cicapair, Ceramidin, dermatologist-developed formulas
The Story Behind Dr.Jart+
Dr.Jart+ was founded in 2004 by Dr. Sung-Jae Jung, a Korean dermatologist, and Chin-Whan Lee, a cosmetic chemist who spent 30+ years studying ceramides. This medical-meets-artistic DNA is reflected in everything Dr.Jart does — clinically proven formulations packaged in playful, collectible designs. The Cicapair line, powered by centella asiatica harvested from Korea's Jeju Island, became the gold standard for redness relief, while the Ceramidin line delivers the most ceramide-dense formulas in K-beauty for severely dry and barrier-damaged skin. Acquired by Estée Lauder Companies in 2019, Dr.Jart+ bridges the gap between Korean dermatological innovation and global accessibility. Their Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment is iconic — a green-tinted cream that neutralizes redness instantly while treating it long-term.
