This was a pleasant little discover. I do get pleasure from a color correcting remedy being liable to slightly cheek redness. I additionally am at all times intrigued by merchandise with “Cica” in its identify however I’ll get onto that shortly.

I picked up the Cicapair color correcting remedy from John Lewis in Leeds on a little bit of a whim. JL had this little stand on the entrance of the wonder corridor promoting what I’ll name ‘jumbo travel-sizes’ and being a magnificence magpie, it went straight in my basket.

Getting straight into the product, I’d say that is extra make-up than remedy nevertheless it does come loaded with Tiger Grass (Centella asiatica – Cica); a barrier restore complicated after which a probiotic ferment targetting the pores and skin’s microbiome -by the way in which, put together for that phrase to be in every single place within the subsequent few years – it’s been floating across the final 5 years however gaining traction.

What does Cica stand for in skincare?

However, proper, OK, that is my factor. If Cica in keeping with half the web is brief for Centalla asiatica, then why the hell are there about 1,000 French pharmacy merchandise with the phrase Cica within the title which have been nowhere close to Tiger Grass?

So what does Cica really imply? Nicely, the ingredient all these repairing balms have in frequent, together with my beloved La Roche Pose Cicaplast Baume, is MgSO4 / Magnesium Sulfate aka Epsom Salts. In skincare, MgSO4 is used three fold: anti-acne/bacterial, texture enhancer and an anti-inflammatory. So I’m going to go along with that definition.

So again to the Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Shade Correcting Therapy that’s extra make-up than remedy in my humble opinion.

Self-adjusting protection you possibly can belief

Once you apply the Cicapair color correcting remedy, it goest onto the pores and skin in that pretty redness colour-correcting shade of inexperienced, however then rapidly begins to show right into a extra fleshy color.

I used to be instantly irritated as I at all times get screwed over by color altering merchandise that ‘regulate to your skins pure shade’ – they at all times go a wanting poopy-orange on me.

Nevertheless, and I’m not stunned it being from a Korean model like Dr. Jart, it really obtained the shade matching proper. See the pictures under nevertheless it lined up the mark on my hand I obtained from enjoying with the cat (she’s half Bengal and doesn’t know her personal energy).

The cream feels fairly thick and balmy and I’m completely right here for it – it’s defending however not heavy and greasy. It has a extra ‘mineral paste’ texture in the event you’re acquainted – virtually slightly powdery. I prefer it and it doesn’t really feel heavy on the pores and skin however you’ll undoubtedly discover or really feel one thing on the floor, however for a restore balm, that’s what I need.

Under you possibly can see it on my cheek the place you possibly can see a number of the redness. I used to be very pleasantly stunned and while sure, there’s a tiny little bit of floor residue from that barely powdery texture I discussed, it’s nothing main and isn’t seen past wanting carefully.

It additionally doesn’t sit shiny which is sweet for a balm; it’s a pleasant steadiness someplace between easy mat and dewy.
