The Dr. Jart cicapair cream caught my eye while I was shopping from a holiday sale on Dr. Jart’s website. I was really curious about this cream after I had such a great experience with the Dr. Jart ceramidin cream a few months ago. I’m extremely picky about moisturizers because I have very dry skin and I live in a desert climate. I couldn’t wait to find out if the cicapair cream would be enough to hydrate my dry skin type!

Consistency

The Dr. Jart cicapair cream has a rich, buttery consistency that glides on the skin to deeply hydrate and soothe irritated, dry skin. I would say the cicapair cream has an oilier texture than the ceramidin cream does. I prefer the oily consistency because my dry skin lacks the oil it needs to stay moisturized. The cicapair cream has a slight green tint that disappears when applied to the skin. When I was using this cream, I couldn’t wait to apply it morning and night because it was so hydrating and soothing to my dry skin! 

Scent

The cicapair cream has a very herbal smell compared to the ceramidin cream which has no scent at all. While the formula does not have added fragrance, it does contain lavender oil which gives it the herbal smell. I actually quite enjoyed the scent and I didn’t find it overpowering at all. The scent does not linger on the skin after application. 

Highlighted Ingredient

Centella asiatica– soothes redness and irritation, moisturizes, and has antibacterial properties that prevent acne. Overall, an all star ingredient!

How does it perform under makeup?

I enjoy using creams with a dewy finish like this one to give me a glowy look when I’m wearing foundation. I’m happy to report the Dr. Jart cicapair cream did not pill under makeup and worked as a wonderful base for foundation. I prefer using the cicapair cream under makeup as opposed to the ceramidin cream. The ceramidin cream had more of a luminous matte finish instead of the dewy finish I prefer. 

Price 

The cicapair cream retails for $49 for 1.69 ounces (don’t mind my bank account crying in the back lol!). I typically stick to $30-50 for my moisturizer budget so luckily this one makes the cut. While this is a pretty pricy moisturizer, I find it well worth the money for all the amazing results I experienced while using the cream. 

Packaging

The Dr. Jart cream comes in a tube that is very easy to squeeze. I did not experience any issues with the cap coming unscrewed in my bag while traveling. It was also very easy to get the last bit of cream out of the tube. Overall, great packaging with no problems!

Results

The Dr. Jart cicapair cream has officially taken the gold medal for my favorite cream of all time. I was so impressed with the rich hydration this cream gave my skin and I truly looked forward to applying it every day. I even noticed I had significantly less acne while using this cream. This makes sense to me because a damaged moisture barrier can often cause breakouts. I would highly recommend this cream to anyone with dry, sensitive, or acne prone skin! 

*If you have oily or combo skin, there is also a gel formulation of the cicapair cream that has a lighter consistency!
