Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Intensive Soothing Repair Serum 30ml

This Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Intensive Soothing Repair Serum is a concentrated Cica treatment specifically formulated to calm irritation, reduce redness, and rebuild a compromised skin barrier.

What It Is

The Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Intensive Soothing Repair Serum is a cornerstone K-beauty product for sensitive and reactive complexions. This concentrated serum targets acute skin discomfort, visibly reducing redness and fortifying the skin's protective barrier. Unlike lighter Cica essences, this formulation delivers intensive repair with its advanced Centella Asiatica complex. It is a direct response to environmental stressors, over-exfoliation, or post-procedure sensitivity, offering a rapid calming effect that sets it apart from more generalized soothing serums.

Key Ingredients

• Centella Asiatica Complex: Comprising Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid, these triterpenoids from Centella Asiatica work synergistically to reduce inflammation, promote collagen synthesis, and accelerate wound healing.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): A humectant that attracts and holds water, Panthenol also acts as an emollient, smoothing and softening the skin, while aiding in barrier repair and soothing irritation.
• Allantoin: A skin protectant with soothing properties, Allantoin helps to soften and protect the skin, promoting cell proliferation and wound healing, making it ideal for compromised skin.
• Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate: Derived from licorice root, this ingredient is a potent anti-inflammatory and skin-calming agent, effectively reducing redness and irritation without causing sensitivity.

This serum embodies a focused ingredient philosophy, prioritizing a curated selection of potent, well-researched calming and barrier-supporting components. Notably, it is free of parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrance, and alcohol. The formula is crafted to be skin-friendly, likely maintaining an ideal pH range around 5.5, similar to skin's natural pH, to prevent further irritation.
