Texture & feel
SENSORY7-Ceramide Barrier Complex
Contains an upgraded ceramide complex at 10,000 ppm with 7 types of ceramides (NP, AP, AS, NS, NG, EOP, EOS) that mimic the skin's natural lipid structure for deep barrier repair.
Multi-Layer Hydration
Delivers 7 layers of moisturizing power with sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed HA, beta-glucan, and ectoin working at different depths of the skin.
Soothing Botanical Blend
Oat kernel extract, turmeric root, artichoke leaf, and bisabolol calm irritation, reduce redness, and protect against environmental stress.
Cholesterol + Lecithin Matrix
Hydrogenated lecithin and cholesterol form a lipid delivery system that mirrors the skin's own structure, ensuring ceramides penetrate where they're needed most.
Safety & compatibility
SAFENo retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. Free of all pregnancy-risk ingredients. Confirmed safe by multiple pregnancy-skincare databases.
Contains several ingredients that may feed Malassezia yeast: Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Pentaerythrityl Distearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, and Argan Oil.
Most ingredients are non-comedogenic. Cetearyl alcohol and evening primrose oil have mild pore-clogging potential, but the overall formulation is well-balanced for most skin types.
Includes bergamot fruit oil, geranium flower oil, sage oil, and patchouli oil. These provide a light herbal scent but may irritate very sensitive or reactive skin. Patch test recommended.
Excellent partner for retinol routines. Ceramides and soothing botanicals help counteract retinol-induced dryness, flaking, and irritation without interfering with its efficacy.
Can be layered over vitamin C serums or used as a recovery moisturizer after chemical exfoliation. Barrier-strengthening ingredients help offset exfoliant-induced sensitivity.
Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSCeramide Complex (NP, AP, AS, NS, NG, EOP, EOS) 10,000 ppmProven
Seven types of ceramides that biomimick the lipids naturally found in the skin's outermost layer. They fill in the gaps between skin cells, restoring barrier integrity and preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
- Clinical: Topical ceramides are proven to restore barrier function in dry and eczema-prone skin (Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology).
- Mechanism: Ceramides make up ~50% of the skin's lipid barrier; replenishing them strengthens the "brick and mortar" structure of the stratum corneum.
- Concentration: 10,000 ppm (1%) is a meaningful level that exceeds many competitor formulas.
Sodium Hyaluronate + Hydrolyzed HAProven
Two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid for multi-depth hydration. Standard sodium hyaluronate draws moisture to the skin surface, while the smaller hydrolyzed version penetrates deeper for sustained plumping.
- Study: Low molecular weight HA can penetrate the stratum corneum and increase skin elasticity (International Journal of Biological Macromolecules).
- Benefit: Dual-weight approach provides both immediate surface hydration and long-term deep moisture retention.
EctoinProven
A natural extremolyte produced by bacteria in harsh environments. Ectoin forms a protective water shell around skin cells, shielding them from UV damage, pollution, and dehydration stress.
- Study: Ectoin reduces UV-induced cell damage by up to 80% and suppresses inflammation markers in skin cells (Skin Pharmacology and Physiology).
- Benefit: Acts as a "molecular shield" that stabilizes cell membranes and prevents premature aging from environmental stress.
Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel ExtractProven
A well-established soothing and skin-protective ingredient recognized by the FDA as an OTC skin protectant. Rich in beta-glucans, avenanthramides, and antioxidants that calm irritation and reinforce the barrier.
- FDA Status: Colloidal oatmeal is an approved active ingredient under the FDA OTC Skin Protectant monograph.
- Benefit: Clinically proven to reduce itching, redness, and dryness in sensitive and eczema-prone skin.
Beta-GlucanProven
A powerful polysaccharide humectant derived from yeast or oats. Provides deep hydration, soothes irritation, and stimulates collagen production for anti-aging benefits.
- Study: Beta-glucan promotes wound healing, reduces wrinkle depth, and enhances skin hydration comparable to hyaluronic acid.
- Benefit: Smaller molecular size than HA allows better skin penetration for deep moisturizing effects.
BisabololProven
A chamomile-derived active with potent anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and antimicrobial properties. Known for calming redness and supporting skin healing.
- Study: Alpha-bisabolol reduces inflammation and accelerates skin healing, making it ideal for post-procedure or sensitized skin.
- Synergy: Works alongside oat extract and ceramides to create a comprehensive calming and repair system.

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEApply after serums and treatments, before sunscreen (AM) or as the final step (PM). Pairs exceptionally well with retinol — apply Ceramidin Ultra Moisture Cream after your retinol to buffer dryness and irritation.
How to use
HOW TO USECleanse & Prep
Start with a clean face. Apply toner and any serums first, allowing each layer to absorb before proceeding.
Scoop & Warm
Take a pea-to-blueberry sized amount of cream. Gently warm it between your fingertips for better spreadability and absorption.
Apply & Press
Dot the cream across your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Gently press and pat into the skin using upward motions. Avoid the eye area.
Lock In (AM) or Sleep (PM)
In the morning, follow with sunscreen after the cream has fully absorbed. At night, this can be your final step — let the ceramides work overnight.
Who is it for?
WHOPerfect for you if:
- Your skin barrier is damaged or compromised from overuse of actives
- You have chronically dry, tight, or flaky skin
- You use retinol and need a ceramide-rich recovery cream
- You experience seasonal dryness, redness, or irritation
- You want a rich but non-greasy moisturizer for day and night
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding and need a safe, effective moisturizer
Consider alternatives if:
- You have fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis) — this formula is not FA-safe
- You have very oily skin and prefer ultra-lightweight gel textures
- You are sensitive to essential oils or fragrance ingredients
- You want a fragrance-free formula with zero scent
- You are on a tight budget — more affordable ceramide creams exist
Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESThis cream was designed for dry skin. The rich ceramide complex, argan oil, evening primrose oil, and multi-weight HA deliver intense, long-lasting hydration without heaviness.
Provides excellent barrier maintenance and hydration without over-moisturizing. Ideal for daily use morning and night.
Works well on drier cheek areas. May feel slightly rich on the T-zone for some — consider using a smaller amount in oilier zones or using only at night.
May feel too rich for very oily skin during the day. Best used as a nighttime moisturizer or during cold, dry weather when even oily skin gets dehydrated.
Ceramides, oat extract, bisabolol, and beta-glucan are excellent for sensitive skin. However, the essential oils may irritate highly reactive skin — patch test first.
Comedogenic rating of 2/5 is generally safe, but not fungal acne safe. Those with non-fungal acne using retinoids benefit greatly from the barrier repair. Patch test recommended.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This cream contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, benzoyl peroxide, or chemical sunscreens. It is confirmed pregnancy and breastfeeding safe by multiple skincare safety databases including 15 Minute Beauty. The ceramide and botanical formula is gentle enough for use throughout pregnancy.
No. This cream is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast, including Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Pentaerythrityl Distearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, and Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil. If you have fungal acne, consider alternatives like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream or other FA-safe ceramide moisturizers.
Absolutely — this cream is an ideal companion for active ingredients. Apply it after retinol to buffer dryness and peeling. Layer it over vitamin C serum in the morning for added hydration. Use it as a recovery moisturizer after AHA/BHA exfoliation to restore the barrier. The ceramides, beta-glucan, and bisabolol help counteract the irritation that actives can cause.
This cream is best suited for dry, normal, and combination skin types. It excels for anyone with a damaged or compromised skin barrier. Oily skin types may find it too rich for daytime use, but can benefit from it as a nighttime moisturizer. It is particularly loved by retinol users who need barrier repair and people with seasonal dryness, eczema-like symptoms, or post-procedure skin.
You will feel immediate comfort, softness, and hydration after the first use. Dryness and flaking typically diminish within 1–2 weeks of consistent use. Clinical studies show measurable improvements in barrier strength and skin elasticity after 4 weeks of twice-daily application. Long-term users (6–8 weeks) report significantly less reactive skin and improved tolerance to active ingredients.
Apply this cream as step 4 in your routine: after cleansing, toner, and serum, but before face oil (optional) and sunscreen (AM). At night, it can be your final step after serums and retinol. The recommended routine order is: Cleanser → Toner → Serum → Ceramidin Ultra Moisture Cream → Sunscreen (AM) or Sleep (PM).
This cream has a comedogenic rating of 2 out of 5, which is considered low risk for most skin types. While individual ingredients like cetearyl alcohol and evening primrose oil have mild comedogenic potential, the overall formula is well-balanced. Most users do not experience breakouts, but those with highly acne-prone skin should patch test first. It is not recommended for fungal acne.
The PAO (Period After Opening) is 12 months. The squeeze tube packaging helps preserve the formula by limiting air exposure. A pea-sized amount covers the entire face, so the 50ml tube typically lasts 2–3 months with twice-daily use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for best results.
Verdict: The Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Ultra Moisture Cream is one of the best ceramide-rich barrier repair creams in K-beauty. With 7 ceramides at a clinical 10,000 ppm concentration, dual-weight hyaluronic acid, ectoin, and a robust soothing botanical blend, it delivers serious hydration and barrier strengthening backed by real clinical data. It is an outstanding choice for dry, normal, and sensitive skin, and especially valuable for retinol users who need barrier recovery. The only downsides are the essential oils (not truly fragrance-free) and the fact that it is not fungal acne safe. For the price, you get a premium, dermatologist-tested formula that genuinely transforms compromised skin — a worthy investment for anyone serious about barrier health.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
