Review – Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream Mist

Hi guys, this is another long overdue post that I found in my “pending” folder from way back in May 2019.. ^_^” Anyway, this product is one that I found while browsing instagram back then and it was a new product at that point in time.. I had a hunch that I would like it since my skin really likes the Dr Jart Ceramidin range so I bought it online from Korea.. Since then, I think I had already gone through 3 to 4 bottles of this products so you might guess that I really do like it a fair bit! In fact, I think that Dr Jart’s ceramidin cream mist is the bomb!

So why do I like it?

Just take a look at the ingredients guys! It’s super hydrating, soothing and has loads of ceramides to repair my skin barrier. The mister itself is so very fine that it feels like a cloud of hydrating goodness descends on my skin whenever I use it. The product itself is a thin runny liquid that feels weightless on the skin. I love using this facial mist after I acid tone and it instantly soothes my skin, making it feel less of the stinging from the acid and I’m ready to go onto the next step. Major love for this product! Well done Dr Jart!

Review – Dr Jart Ceramidin Serum & Cream (NEW)

I’d spoken highly of Dr Jart’s Ceramidin Cream before (Read full review here!) and I was so intrigued when I found out on Instagram that they had came up with an improved formula for their cream as well as a NEW product, which is the Ceramidin serum. I had a hunch that both would work well for me so I bought them without much hesitation.

As per my normal posts, I’ve included the ingredients list for both products as below.

How does the Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream fare?

If you look through the ingredients for the NEW formula of the Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream, you might notice that it has included additional ceramides. The original formula only contains Ceramide 3 (aka Ceramide NP) despite its name while the new formula includes Ceramide AP (aka Ceramide 6), Ceramide AS (aka Ceramide 5), Ceramide NS (aka Ceramide 2), in addition to its original Ceramide 3. I had also noticed that my new favourite ingredient, the super anti-inflammatory Tumeric Root Extract, was thrown into the mix as well. Therefore it could be said that I was expecting great things from this product.

Well, after using this product consecutively nightly for one month in Singapore, as well as day and night for 10 days in the freezing winter conditions in Northern China, I can confidently tell you that this cream has indeed met or even exceeded my expectations. All of my original thoughts on this product still stands, with the interesting observation that this product seems to sit well on my makeup during daytime now. I’m not quite sure if it was due to the super dry and cold weather in China that I can comfortably use this in the daytime without affecting my makeup though. I just know that it’s crazy how nourished, hydrated and soft my skin looks and feel in sub-zero temperatures after using this product. If you are suffering from dull dry skin this winter, I would highly recommend that you get your hands on this product asap!

How does the Dr Jart Ceramidin Serum fare?

The Dr Jart Ceramidin Serum is a NEW product in their Ceramidin range. In fact, if you are interested, Dr Jart has also released a whole new range of Ceramidin body products and apparently, they are highly raved in Korean beauty circles.

Anyway, back to this product. It has the same smell as the Ceramidin Cream (a light mildly herbal scent, nothing offensive if you are worried) with the exception being that it is much much lighter in texture than the Ceramidin Cream. Although it does not have your typical watery hydrating serum type of texture, its light gel-cream texture sinks rapidly into the skin while instantly hydrating your skin, leaving it feeling substantially nourished and protected. It’s quite amazing that despite its relatively lighter texture, you can definitely feel that it is a hydrating powerhouse. Immediately after application, I can literally see my skin plumped up and it looks brighter and feels so soft. Although I typically won’t recommend that you use a serum without a moisturiser on top to lock in the goodness, I kind of feel that with this product, you might be able to get away with using it alone if you have oily combination skin.

The Ceramidin Serum has a light gel-cream texture!

Using both of these products together while I was in China for my sister-in-law’s wedding has definitely saved my skin from drying out. In fact, my skin felt so unbelievably soft and smooth that even my husband had asked to use my products (Haha!).

In Conclusion…

My combination dry skin loves both of these Ceramidin products and I think that using them together seems to magnify their hydrating and nourishing powers. If you have dry skin, you’ll love these products. If you have oily skin, you might find the cream a little too rich and would like to explore using the serum instead.

Where can you find it?

I bought these products from Qoo10.sg. The prices of these products has a range of around S$36++ to S$40++ on that platform. It is not available in Sephora Singapore yet. I bought the Ceramidin Serum for S$36.90 (40ml sized) and the Ceramidin Cream for S$45.90 (50ml sized).

Review – Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream

Dr Jart is a Korean skincare brand started by 2 dermatologists in 2004. They had actually started off with a BB cream product and gradually expanded their skincare and beauty line. In 2013, Dr Jart launched their Ceramidin line which received rave reviews. In fact, Dr Jart’s Ceramidin Cream is one of those products which is so highly raved in the skincare community that I just had to try it out for myself. After my beloved Stratia Liquid Gold was fully used up to its last golden drop, I started on this product.

How does the Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream fare?

Dr Jart’s Ceramidin Cream is touted to be a rich and powerful moisturiser infused with ceramides to strengthen the skin’s natural protective barrier while delivering a moisture boost. Supercharged with the power of ceramides, this moisturiser quenches dehydrated skin and supports the skin’s moisture barrier with time-released hydration for up to 26 hours. It helps prevent chronic water loss and seals in moisture to relieve dryness and irritation caused by environmental stress. It improves the appearance of fine lines, flakiness, and tightness, leaving skin looking and feeling healthier and smoother.

Despite its name, the only ceramide included in this product is Ceramide 3. The other ceramide-containing products that I had tried before (such as Stratia Liquid Gold, Cerave PM Lotion, and Dr Dennis Gross Clinical Concentrate Hydration Booster) all contained at least 3 different forms of ceramides. Ceramides typically have a more synergistic effect when used together. However, I still believe that formulation is king so I gave this product a try too.  My original intent was to incorporate this product in both my daytime as well as nighttime skincare routine. However I find that this product doesn’t wear very well underneath my sunscreen and makeup. I’m not sure if it’s because I use so much sunscreen or because this cream actually takes some time to be fully absorbed into the skin. Either way, my makeup looks patchy and weird whenever I use this product in the mornings. Therefore I’ve regulated it to only nighttime use.

When I first started using this product, I was actually experiencing some breakouts due to a sensitivity from another moisturiser. It was quite risky for me to switch to this moisturiser as I wasn’t sure at that time if it would cause further breakouts but I had no other choice. Luckily this cream would prove to be the saviour of my skin. From the very first night that I use this product, I noticed that the inflammation in my skin calmed down and it felt intensively hydrated, smoother and plumped out the next morning. Subsequent uses left my skin feeling soft and nourished. Because of this moisturiser, I actually looked forward to doing my nighttime routine even when I’m feeling dead tired. I knew that my skin the morning after would look much better if I use this moisturiser therefore I persisted. In fact, I took this moisturiser with me on a trip recently to Australia and used it as my night cream. It kept my skin so moist and nourished the whole night that my skin felt super soft and smooth the next morning even though the humidity in Australia is way lower than Singapore. I hate to buy into the hype but I must truly say that this time, this product is worth all the hype and accolades!

Where can you find it?

You can purchase this product from Sephora SG. It retails at S$77 (50ml sized).
