| Verdict | Dr.Jart+'s ceramide cream is a legitimate barrier repair product. The five-ceramide complex mirrors the skin's natural lipid structure, and the formula is rich enough to rescue severely compromised barriers. Whether the price premium over Etude's SoonJung Cream is justified is debatable — but the formulation itself is excellent. | The Korean derm community's quiet answer to La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair. Real Barrier's patented MLE (Multi-Lamellar Emulsion) technology delivers ceramide NP, cholesterol, and phytosphingosine in the same lamellar structure as human skin's natural lipid matrix — clinical studies show 99% barrier restoration within 14 days. Not sexy, not editorial. A barrier-repair cream that does exactly what it says without a single wasted ingredient. |
