Cica Complex (Centella Asiatica Extracts)

Whatever you call it, one thing is for sure: it's a soothing superstar. It's the go-to ingredient in products that can reduce the look of redness or visible irritation.
Allantoin

Allantoin is having a moment in the skincare spotlight, and it's well-deserved. This powerful ingredient is all about protecting skin by helping repair damage to the skin barrier. Allantoin helps repair skin's barrier by promoting natural filaggrin, which is an important protein for barrier strength.
R-Protector

This lipopeptide (a molecule that is a lipid connected to a peptide) is a powerful active when it comes to soothing skin. In Dr.Jart+ formulas, we combine R-protector with an advanced Cica Complex. The result is a turbocharged blend that boosts the redness reducing power of our Cicapair™ formulas, leaving skin with less visible irritation.
