What the gurus are saying
Gurus are devoted to this product, with most calling it effortless, natural-looking, and effective at covering hyperpigmentation without heavy blending. The near-universal praise centers on its ease of use and built-in sun protection. The main frustration is the hard plastic packaging, which makes it difficult to extract product near the end and has driven fans to stockpile backups since discontinuation. A few note it skews fuller coverage for daily wear, and some appreciate its unscented quality despite fragrance ingredients.
"My favorite is the Dr. Jart. This probably more repurchased than the Purito, but it took me a couple years after Dr. Jart reformulated to find my next foundation that I liked."
"Feels very nice. Nice light combo of ingredients and products. I love this Dr. Jart BB Cream. I've now got I think four friends that use this stuff. The one thing I will say, I hate the packaging of it. It's a hard plastic bottle, so you can't just squeeze to get the rest left. And it's a little bit on the pricey side."

"I had one back of this one left and I love the stuff they have have a new version of it at Sephora."
"I stopped making this for a while but I picked up like three more tubes. At this point I have two tubes left and I still have other foundations I like but this one's just so easy. I feel like I don't have to fuss with it versus other foundations I feel like take more effort and more blending and more powder or more, they settle in wrinkles and fine lines and this one is just super easy and natural looking."

Empties - August Skincare & Beauty Products I've Finished This Month
"I really enjoy this stuff. This is the fair light shade. I repurchased in this shade and I really enjoy it. There's no strong scent. There is fragrance ingredients, but there's no real noticeable scent to it. And I find the color to be pretty easy to work with based on your skin tone. It's pretty flexible."
Sephora 20% Off For Everyone Sale - New Skincare & Beauty Picks
"I love this BB cream from Dr. Jart. They sell versions similar to this everywhere. However, I have found the formula is not identical. So, I really like the specific formula at Sephora. It's got a little bit of zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, a couple chemical filters in it. I really like the shade light, medium, or fair to light depending on my spray tan situation. But I love this. No scent. It has fragrance in it, but it has no scent. I think the fragrance in there covers up the sunscreen kind of smell that you could get. I love this foundation. I've been using it since it was in the previous packaging and I still love it."
April Skincare & Beauty Product Empties - What I've Finished This Month
"I've got a few bottles of this and actually someone was very nice enough to send me one because it didn't work for them, the Dr. Jart BB Cream. I was just like really really happy because they don't make it anymore. I picked up as many as I could find when I knew it was discontinued. So I think I still have two tubes left and one of you guys was nice enough to send me one so it will not go to waste I can promise you that because I love this stuff."

Morning Skincare & Makeup Routine for Summer - Dry and Sensitive Skin
"For my sun makeup BB cream Dr Jart, I really like this. It's just easy, it's no fuss. But it's just more full coverage than I like on a daily basis. So unless I've got something some big deal going on, I just I don't feel the need for super heavy heavy coverage."
Spring Morning Routine - Skincare, Makeup, and Haircare Routine - Dry, Sensitive Skin
"I'm still loving this Dr. Jart+ BB cream. For summer I think I like the Dr. Jart+ one a little bit more because it also has sunscreen. I don't apply it liberally enough in my first step, at least in my foundation step I'll get a little bit. I've got my dampened beauty blender and this is where the magic happens. All my hyperpigmentation and melasma are mostly covered, not always totally cover but they go a lot away, a lot better."
Anti-Aging Morning Routine - New Skincare from Numbuzin, Nano Recipe! Body Care Hydrating Products
"I've been switching between the Mac serum powered foundation and the Dr. Jart+ BB cream and I'm almost done with this. The nice thing is when after I applied that moisturizer with a little bit of bronzer in it you don't really need a ton of foundation because it kind of just evens out my skin tone enough or it evens out all my hyperpigmentation and melasma."
Empties! 🎉 Skincare & Beauty Products I Finished This Month
"I prefer the tint in this one a little bit more, and it has four different shades, so it's a little bit easier for everyone to find an option. It's pretty translucent, you can make it work. I've loved this one. I've been using it for so many years."

"Even if it's not a high SPF like the Dr. Jart one, I think it's 40. I'm not sure how I apply this I'm not getting anywhere near 40 because I'm not applying it thickly like you would a sunscreen. But over my other sunscreen I'm just looking for a little bit of mineral filters to help protect the sun from making the melasma worse."

The Only Makeup Products I've Repurchased 😍 My Most Purchased Makeup & Beauty Products of All Time
"I've repurchased this one many times and I've gifted it many times as well. The Dr Jart BB cream doesn't exist anymore, they changed the formula, but my friend who loved this one now uses the updated formula and likes that one as well."
"The launch of the BB cream by Dr. Jart marked the beginning of K Beauty's rising popularity in the West. It was like a skincare hybrid makeup foundation sunscreen that no one had ever really seen before meets a moisturizer. This kind of innovation really propelled Korean sunscreen to the top. In the West whenever you thought of sunscreen, you thought of thick, sunscreeny smelling, greasy, white, chalky sunscreens. But what K Beauty managed to successfully do was transform something that was so nasty for people to use into something lightweight, cosmetically elegant and effective and pleasant to use and something people wanted to use on a daily basis."
