How It Works…
After going viral on social media, this clever cream sold out twice, and it’s only now we’re starting to see stock replenish. Designed to even skin tone and perfect your complexion, it boosts dullness with a pigment that turns from green to beige as you massage it in. Ideal for those looking to strike a balance between coverage and hydration, it contains Centella Asiatica – also known as tiger grass – which is loved by dermatologists for its barrier protecting benefits and ability to soothe conditions like rosacea, eczema and acne. Extra points for the protective barrier it provides against environmental aggressors like UV rays and pollution. Before you apply it, make-up artists recommend you try warming it up in your hands first, as it has quite a thick consistency. This will sheer it out slightly for a less tacky texture. It will still give your complexion some coverage, but with a dewier, more luminous finish.
Why Insiders Call It ‘Genius’…
It’s not just make-up artists that rate this product. A host of beauty influencers and industry insiders do too, with many dubbing it ‘transformative’ and their ‘holy grail’ for perfecting and smoothing the skin. Industry pros – including make-up artist Isamaya Ffrench – regularly use it backstage and on their clients, too, to calm and neutralise redness at speed. No wonder it’s become so hard to get hold of.
How To Get The Most From It…
This tinted cream does more than just smooth out uneven tone. Even if you don’t want to colour correct your entire face, a small amount will help to brighten underneath your eyes, and conceal any small patches of redness. It’s incredibly versatile, with many rosacea-sufferers touting its speedy, concealing benefits. You can use it as a primer, to give skin a subtle glow, or as a foundation or BB cream substitute. It’s great for coverage, but also soothing reactive, inflamed skin when time is of the essence.
What The Brand Says…
The brand itself focuses on creating hybrid formulas that deliver multiple benefits at once. In fact, inspiration for this cult Correcting Treatment came from a surge in searches for multi-tasking formulas. “Nowadays, consumers want formulas that do a bit of everything,” explains Dr. Jart+ founder Chin Wook Lee. “They want to look like they are wearing make-up, while enjoying soothing, moisturising skincare benefits, which is where this cream comes in. It provides light coverage, with a soft-focus glow, while also soothing and calming sensitive, irritated skin. It’s brilliant for calming down angry flare-ups, too. Plus, it suits everyone, as it can be used in different ways to treat, conceal and enhance the skin.”
