This oil free sun block is specifically designed for the face to defend against powerful UVA/UVB rays.Creates an ideal base for make-up application. Formulated with Phyto Active Complex to counteract roughness and keep skin looking soft and healthy and with the antioxidant Thiotaurine. Can be easily applied and absorbs quickly, leaving no visible white residue or trace of stickiness. Resists the effects of sweat and humidity.
My verdict:
This is really a nice sunblock that serves as a great makeup base as well. I like the high SPF factor. Upon application, it is readily absorbed by the skin. No stickiness as stated. I waited 10 minutes before I pile on my BB cream (also with SPF). After 2 hours at the swimming pool, I am so glad that I did not get tanned like the previous time (with only BB cream). If you know you are going to be out in the sun for a long time, it is better to layer your suncreen products for better protection. And after a long day under the sun, deep cleanse your skin and put on skin whitening products (face masks, moisturisers, etc). Sometimes, you can only see your skin has darkened a shade the next day so it’s better to do all you can first. Black pigmentations (for Asians’ skin) tend to surface after exposure to sun, I prefer to take all these preventive measures than spend time on fading these spots and freckles.
If you really want to take a step further to have fair skin, there are also supplements available.
What it claims:
This cream is designed to erase wrinkles in the neck area.
Absorbed easily without greasiness.
Increase tightness and maintain healthy moisturizer level of skin.
How I feel:
This cream does help to erase the finer lines of wrinkles. For more stubborn or deeper wrinkles, it will lessen the effect but I am not so sure if they will be completely gone with prolong use. No greasiness as claimed. It is important to follow instruction to apply the cream in upward direction. The lifting effect will help to ease the lines.
The neck area is often neglected by many women. It gives away signs of aging so please try not to neglect this area. Every round of wrinkles around the neck is supposed to meant 10 years of age. I always find it a pity whenever I see a woman whose face is so well-maintained but the wrinkles on her neck area just brings her overall image down.
Never too young or too old to do something about it now.

This unique triple action formula containing innovative active ingredients aims at covering skin imperfections, concealing blemishes and activating skin rejuvenation. It also smoothes wrinkles and fine lines while providing sun protection to skin.
Dr Jart Whitening Water Drop
A very light moisturiser that has whitening properties. When massaged into skin, it turns into water droplets, which aids absorption by the skin. Suitable for all skin types. Good to use this just before Dr Jart Silver BB cream.
Dr Jart Magic Cleansing Oil Foam
A one stop cleanser that removes all makeups (including waterproof mascaras) and dirts/impurities. Just a small amount will do the job really well. It is similar to Neutrogena’s cleansing oil, only with a more pleasant scent. Good to remove BB cream effectively.
Dr Jart Multi Action Balancing Toner
Thus far, the only Dr Jart product that I fail to appreciate. It leaves a slightly sticky feeling after use.
Will be stocking up on the following brands in my coming trip to Seoul:
Dr Jart
Hanskin
Skin 79
Dr G
Skin Food/ The Face Shop / Missha : Suppose to be really inexpensive in Korea.
Laniege
ETC, ETC, ETC …..
Look out for these products in early Jan 2009 as I will be posting some of these products for sale.
This is a clear gel that claims to clear and prevent breakouts. “It relieves acne fast and effectively without leaving a scar.”
If you are not an impatient person, it does clear breakouts but at a rather slow pace (i.e. at least to myself). The plus point is it really would not leave a scar.
Dr Jart is my favourite brand for BB creams. It is a dermalogical cosmetic line so the products are suitable for sensitive skins. I have tried Coogi FLowertox, SKIN 79, BRTC, Skin Food, etc. but I feel the quality of this BB cream is so much better than most and does not cause breakouts. It has good oil control and covers pores on the face well. As it comes with a whitening factor, if you have dry skin, apply a good moisturiser before using.

FAQS
Will this suit my skin tone?
If you are familiar with MAC cosmetics, this is more natural for skin tone NC20 or fairer. However, even if you have a darker skin tone, you can still use this as a good makeup foundation and a base for oil control. You can then use a darker loose or pressed powder over it. As long as the cream applied is not too thick, it will actually blend in with your skin colour after a while. To hasten the blending process, using the warmth of your palm to spread will help.
For those who are more adventurous, some people use BB creams with better oil control on their T-zone or more oily areas and blend the rest of the face with other BB creams. This requires some amount of experience and guts.
