At Dr. Jart+, “Korean skincare” means harnessing high-performance, dermatologist-inspired formulations developed in Korea that combine science, creativity and an emphasis on ritual-care. The brand states it “takes skincare’s best ingredients and innovations … and joins them with artful experiences to create high-performance skincare.” 
On the Ingredient Glossary page, you’ll find the building blocks that embody this philosophy — from barrier-strengthening lipids to gentle actives crafted for layered Korean skincare routines.

These ingredients reflect core principles of Korean skincare — barrier care, calming sensitivity and reinforcing skin resilience. The glossary lists:

• Ceramides — “lipids naturally occurring in the skin that help strengthen the skin’s barrier.” 
• Panthenol — “helps restore the skin’s barrier and moisturizes.” 
• Cica Complex (Centella Asiatica Extracts) — “soothes skin to reduce visible redness.”
  These highlight the brand’s Korean-skincare rooted focus on strengthen, repair and hydration of skin, rather than just cosmetic effects.

The Glossary serves as a reference guide to understand key actives; here’s how to apply it:

1. Identify your primary concern (e.g., dehydration, redness, barrier weakening).

2. Scan the glossary for matching actives (for example: ceramides or panthenol for barrier; Cica Complex for redness).

3. Use that knowledge to navigate to relevant collections (for example the [Ceramidin™ Collection] or [Cicapair™ Collection]) where those ingredients are featured.
This aligns with the Korean skincare approach of ingredient-first decision-making and treatment layering.

The glossary and product descriptions reflect typical K-Beauty accents:

• Emphasis on prevention, protection and barrier rather than just corrective action.
• Use of gentle, dermatologist-inspired actives that support layering in a skincare ritual.
  For example, Dr. Jart+ uses ceramides (for barrier repair) and Cica (for calming) in formulas that invite multiple steps of care.

Yes. The Ingredient Glossary and the brand’s descriptions show that many formulas include barrier-supporting, soothing ingredients specifically suited for skin that has been stressed or needs repair (for example ceramides; Cica Complex). The brand emphasises that its Korean skincare collections are designed with “skin health” and resilience in mind.

Here’s a suggested flow:

• Cleanse: Start your routine to remove impurities without disrupting the barrier.
• Treat/Essence/Serum: Choose a serum incorporating the key active you identified (e.g., a serum featuring ceramides or Cica). The Korean-skincare focus is on layering lighter treatments first.
• Moisturize/Seal: Use a rich cream or barrier-moisturizer that features those key ingredients.
• Protect: Finish with a sunscreen or protective step during the day.
  Using the Glossary, you can better identify which ingredients are present in these steps and align them with your skin’s needs.

Here are two common mappings:

• If you find several barrier-focused ingredients in the glossary (e.g., ceramides, panthenol), explore the [Ceramidin™ Collection], which is built around barrier-repair in Korean skincare style.
• If you identify soothing/redness-related ingredients (e.g., Cica Complex, Allantoin), browse the [Cicapair™ Collection], which is tailored for calming and sensitive skin within the Korean skincare framework.
  These collections reflect how the glossary’s ingredients translate into full routines.
