This Not That: Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Intensive Soothing Repair Cream

Y’all know I’m a sucker for a good barrier cream—if it’s thick enough to double as frosting, I’m in. So when someone asked me to find a dupe for the Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Cream, I took the challenge seriously (for science, of course).

And I get it now. That stuff is thicc with two Cs and calms irritated skin quickly. But let’s be honest—it’s not exactly makeup-friendly unless you’re going for the “dewy to the point of slippery” look.

Enter: Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Cream. This one? A total gem. Just as soothing, but without the fragrance or the “I might slide off my own face” finish. It’s rich, nourishing, and somehow manages to feel luxe without being greasy. My skin drank it up.

If you’re looking for a barrier cream that plays nice with your skin and your wallet, this one’s worth a spot on your shelf.
