Innovative skincare from Korea.
Dr.Jart+ is not a doctor. Dr.Jart+ is a philosophy. It stands for doctor joins art. We take skincare’s best ingredients and innovations (that’s the Dr.) and join them with artful experiences to create high-performance derma skincare with a playful twist that brings a smile to your face.
In the BBeginning…
Dr.Jart+ was founded in Seoul in 2005 by Leeo (Chin Wook) Lee. While working as an architect, Leeo was introduced to a makeup-like blemish balm that was only available in dermatology clinics. Inspired by its hybrid functionality, he began collaborating with labs to create a product that blended powerful skincare benefits with the coverage of a foundation.
BB Cream became an instant hit in Korea and reimagined the possibility of what skincare could be. But Leeo didn’t stop there. His dream to create derma skincare that brings together the most advanced ingredients and technology into life-enriching formulas was just getting started.
In the BB beginning…
Founded in 2005 by architect Leeo (Chin Wook) Lee, Dr.Jart+ has always been an unexpected skincare brand. And Leeo is an unexpected founder.
It was while working as an architect in Seoul that Leeo discovered a blemish balm used during professional facial treatments. The blemish balm was a skincare spot treatment, which also had the visual benefits of makeup. While the balm was only available in clinics, Leeo was inspired by how this hybrid product could simplify beauty routines. He left his career in architecture to pursue his idea, working with the labs until he had reinterpreted the blemish balm into a Dr.Jart+ BB Cream that brought skincare and makeup together in one simple step for consumers to use at home.
