What they liked

  • Absorbs deeply without feeling heavy
  • Lasts a long time per container
  • Thick enough to work alone at night

What they flagged

  • Too rich and occlusive for oily skin
  • Pilling when layered under some sunscreens
  • Contains fragrance, including bergamot oil

What the gurus are saying

The cream absorbs deeply and feels silky, earning praise for how well it hydrates and replenishes without dragging on the skin, though some find the thick texture paired with high silicone content causes pilling when layered with certain sunscreens or sits heavy on sensitive complexions. It contains tea and polyphenols that may help ease redness, and the larger jar size means it lasts well through multiple applications. The one thing to keep in mind: it does contain fragrance (herbal oils and bergamot), so anyone with fragrance sensitivity or easily compromised skin may want to patch-test first, or consider whether a fragrance-free option suits them better.

"The Dr. Jart+ Advanced LC Ceramidin Barrier Cream is a good moisturizer, it actually has some really meaningful ceramide content along with cholesterol and fatty acid, which is great for barrier strengthening and repair. I have a lot of respect for this cream and I recommend it, it's very good, but the texture is not for me personally. It's not occlusive, it's more lotiony and sinks into the skin nicely, but I need occlusivity to fight my dehydration, otherwise my skin feels tight and dry, and if it goes on too long my skin gets irritated. It just doesn't have that, it's not made for my particular skin condition, so unfortunately it's not for me, though I still use it on my neck, chest, and hands."

"So I do think that that makes this particular product probably fine for using to keep your skin in a healthy state or to help moisturize it but I don't think that that makes this product the very best choice you can"

"It just absorbs and absorbs and absorbs and my skin can just drink it up, but it's very replenishing. I also really appreciate the larger size of this because I do a couple of layers so I run through products a lot faster, but with this bigger size I don't feel like I'm running through toner every single month. This lasts me a really, really good long time."

"The moisturizing layer is incredibly nourishing, very creamy and silky. [...] My skin is just sucking this up, it feels amazing. Because I've used this for quite a while, I can tell you that there's some tea in here and I find my skin super responds to tea in skincare. [...] I always get natural redness, especially in this cold weather, and tea really helps with that quite a bit. I feel like it just brings a really healthy complexion. It's an antioxidant and there's some great polyphenol content in here. The moisture element is so silky."

"Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream. If it's like before bed or in the evening and I really want to amp it up, I'll go to like the barrier cream or something like that. I'm not going to use the barrier cream under all my makeup."

"The Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream was really thick and has fragrance in it, bergamot oil or some herbal oils. I didn't find the scent to be overwhelming but I really liked the thick texture of it because my skin was super dry. If you're looking for an all-in-one product, this was thick enough to do the trick for a long time. It was good, but it has a lot of fragrance in it so I kind of eventually evolved away from it."

"I tried a little sample of Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream. This has a lot of dimethicone and it doesn't sit well with some of the sunscreens that I use. I found that it caused a lot of pilling. So I tried it as a night cream and I just don't like the texture. My skin kind of feels smothered when I use this, so this is going to be a pass for me."

"This is the skin barrier cream from Dr. Jart. It's a very rich moisturizer."

"For my dry areas this would be great, it feels really nice on the skin and my skin feels super moisturized after applying it. People who struggle with eczema and severe dryness rave about this product, and I definitely enjoyed using it in the past as an overnight moisturizer. My biggest issue with this product is the price point, but if I find an absolutely incredible product that blows my mind and it's fifty dollars or under, that's something I can justify. It's way too thick and rich for my oily T-zone though, so I'd only use it on my dry areas."

"Dr. Jart+ has this ceramide cream. This one is infused with ceramides. It's great for super dry skin. It's also great for sensitive skin. It comes in a nice metallized tube and it is a really thick cream. Again, not for somebody with super oily skin; somebody with really dry slash sensitive skin this might just be enough for you. Again, if you're super sensitive though, I would be careful because it's not necessarily the quote unquote purest of products out there as it has other ingredients as well, including a scent. For example, it has citrus in it, so just beware. But it is going to help if you're super dry and you need your barrier repaired."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
