What they liked

  • Smooth texture that flatters over pores
  • Natural, non-cakey finish
  • Hydrating for dry skin

What they flagged

  • Oxidizes darker over time on skin
  • Fragrance noticeable to some
  • Insufficient SPF coverage at typical application amounts

What the gurus are saying

People come back to this BB cream repeatedly for the soft, pore-smoothing texture and flawless finish, especially if you have dry skin or are over 50. The shade oxidizes noticeably darker after application, so checking in natural light or mixing with foundation helps. There's fragrance, which some people notice and others find imperceptible. The SPF 40 is cosmetic-level; you'd need to layer it far heavier than practical for real sun protection.

"I'm using the Dr. Jart+ tinted BB cream, which has SPF in it, but I would never be able to use enough of this to actually get the proper SPF 40, you'd have to layer this stuff on."
All 6 takes from No BS Beauty
Morning Skincare & Makeup Routine - Fall Morning Anti-Aging Routine For Dry Sensitive Skin
"The one I just am still loving is the Dr. Jart+ BB cream in the gold bottle. They discontinued it, I bought a ton online on the Dr. Jart+ website and then I gave some away and I didn't end up with enough, so I ran out of my backup stock a couple weeks ago. But I was lucky enough to find it as a backup on the Cosmetic Company Store, which carries Estée Lauder brands, which apparently Dr. Jart+ is. I picked up I think four of them. I just love this one because it seems to work so good for me, even though it's got fragrance in it. Normally I wouldn't even try something like that with so much fragrance in it, but I don't smell any of it, so it works well."

"I'm going to apply my BB cream which is the Dr. Jart+ Premium BB Beauty Balm. They reformulated it a little bit. I love this stuff."

"This one was fragrant too. I'll keep playing with it but I got the light shade and it's too light and it's too fragrant, so it's not going so well for those two reasons."
My Most Repurchased K-Beauty Skincare & Makeup Products So Far This Year 😍 KBeauty Faves
"This is hands down my favorite foundation or BB cream, repurchased dozens of times. They've reformulated now to this version. The previous version was in the gold bottle, which I love this one. I like the same, but now it's got five different tints to it, which might be nice for some people. It's a little bit more expensive than the average K beauty product, though. I think I'm on my third bottle of it, and I have my other backup still here."

"This is one I love. I've been using this one for a long time, the Dr. Jart+ Premium BB cream. They updated it, they changed the packaging, they changed the ingredients. I did test the new version of this one out and it is pretty similar, but I still love this one the best. When I realized it was going out, I purchased everything I could find."

"I add my Dr. Jart+ Premium BB Tinted Moisturizer with Niacinamide and SPF 40 on top. I love a good tinted moisturizer, but those alone don't quite provide enough coverage for proper sun protection. So I really like layering an SPF as my base and then my SPF containing BB cream on top. It ensures that I'm fully protected against UV rays and harsh winter elements while still being gentle enough that it won't irritate or flare up my sensitive skin or my rosacea."
All 4 takes from Tea with MD
Sephora Fall Sale 2025 | What a Dermatologist Is Buying This Year!
"This is the Dr. Jart+ Premium BB Tinted Moisturizer with Niacinamide that is SPF 40. I've talked about this so many times and I've always tried to find something that comes close to it because I want to experiment and try new brands, but this is just an OG and I end up going back to it every single time. This is truly a multitasking superstar because it has that tinted coverage broadspectrum SPF 40. Also has niacinamide which is known for brightening and supporting the skin barrier. And I find it incredibly hydrating. Like my problem with foundations and even sometimes BB cushions is that it looks dry over time and I end up having accentuated wrinkles and skin flaking. Whereas this Dr. Jart+ one is so so hydrating. It just gives me that perfect glow without a single bit of dryness or cakeiness. This is mid-range in price, but it delivers the benefits of skin care and coverage in one step. So it's really great for busy mornings and busy moms like me."

Part 2️⃣ of what this
"I am obsessed with this product. This is like a tinted moisturizer plus it has SPF ingredients and there's niacinamide to help brighten, glycerin to help hydrate, and it covers all my blemishes and dark spots so it's kind of like a foundation but looks very very natural. This is what I wear every single day. In fact, this is what I'm wearing right now and I don't even use foundation anymore. This has four different sunscreen ingredients: octinoxate, octyl salate, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide so it's a blend of chemical and physical sunscreen ingredients. I don't use it on its own as my primary SPF because I just don't think it's enough so I always will put on my sunscreen first as a base layer and then use this on top as extra sun protection. I love it because it just blends into my skin so well. I am in shade fair light and it provides a really really radiant glowy finish that I just have not found any other product to provide."
Anything you would add? What I’m packing in my
"If I were to bring any makeup it would be the Dr. Jart+ Premium BB Tinted Moisturizer with Niacinamide SPF 40 because that just makes my skin look flawless without really having to try very hard"

"This is literally called Premium Beauty Balm and it's made for normal to dry skin. I got the shade fair light pink, it's a gray color so it did look slightly dark on me at first, but the texture is so soft, it smooths over pores and even under the eyes, and it didn't get cakey or heavy. I used it on clients over 50 during class and they loved it, super natural, super flattering. If you've got dry skin and you're in your 50s or beyond, this one's a winner, hydrating, smoothing, and good coverage. But it definitely got darker over time, the difference between the fridge swatch and the one I applied earlier is totally obvious. If you don't have much to cover, I'd recommend mixing it with a foundation to lighten it up a bit, it gives you that same smooth texture but the shade won't surprise you later."
Yay
"This is like a beauty balm and sunscreen hybrid, it's an SPF 40. It is a hybrid chemical mineral sunscreen so it's got zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in it but it also has a couple of the chemical filters Octan oxide and octos salate. So this is a really lovely sunscreen you could wear this on its own. It comes in four different shades. This is the second shade, the light medium shade, and on me this is actually a tiny bit dark. I love using this just as almost like a tinted moisturizer just to color correct, even out my skin tone, get rid of the redness on my nose."

What the evidence says.

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

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.
