PRODUCT REVIEW: DR. JART CERAMIDIN LIQUID – ONE OF THE BEST MOISTURIZERS FOR OILY SKIN
DR. JART | CERAMIDIN LIQUID
This review was originally part of my blog article titled, “Super Lightweight Summer Moisturizers Part I.” You can still catch the full piece here.
—
I had to start here! Dr. Jart was the first Korean skincare brand I discovered — and its iconic Ceramidin Liquid was the very first K-Beauty product I ever tried. Of course I loved it.
The formula is so unusual that even Dr. Jart has a hard time describing what it is. Is it a toner? Is it a moisturizer? Is it a lotion? They probably couldn’t decide and I imagine someone in a conference room in their Seoul HQ saying, “Hey! Let’s just call it a ‘liquid’!”
But even though Ceramidin Liquid was my first K-Beauty product, this isn’t exactly the same one. Dr. Jart has reformulated its moisturizing liquid toner in the years since I first stumbled across it.
The formula feels, smells and looks the same, but it’s been supercharged with Dr. Jart’s proprietary 5-Cera Complex — essentially a blend of all five ceramides useful in skin care. Ceramides are really important to healthy skin functioning as they’re our skin’s natural protection barrier. They’re composed of intercellular lipids that act as skin’s defense against environmental aggressors, helping to maintain moisture levels — all year round.
In addition to skin-strengthening ceramides, there’s a lot to love about the formula, particularly its plethora of antioxidant vitamins and botanical extracts including Centella Asiatica Extract, Fig Fruit Extract, Cocoa Seed Extract, and a fave of mine: Turmeric Root Extract.
There are also a few moisture-replenishing plant oils in lower amounts, meaning that it doesn’t over-saturate your skin, or feel heavy throughout the day. The one drawback for me is the high level of denatured alcohol in the formula. If you’re oily or normal to oily, it won’t be an issue for you.
With the consistency of low-fat milk, Ceramidin Liquid is a good option for warmer weather and particularly oiler skin types in summer.
