Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Milky Lotion Moisturizer: The Cica Benchmark in Lightweight Form

Dr.Jart+'s Cicapair line is one of the most globally recognized Korean cica (centella asiatica) product franchises, with the original Cicapair Tiger Grass Cream sold in Sephora stores worldwide since 2015. The Milky Lotion Moisturizer is the lightweight sibling: same tiger grass centella complex, but in a milky-lotion texture that absorbs faster and layers better for daytime use and combination skin.

Cica at this price point ($65 for 100ml) sits at the high end of the category. COSRX and Round Lab make more affordable centella products. Dr.Jart+ justifies the price through their proprietary Cicabond complex (a multi-cica-molecule system) and clinical backing specific to sensitive, reactive, and post-procedure skin. If you've tried cheaper cica and didn't see results, the concentration and complex here often make the difference.

What It Does

Tiger grass (Centella asiatica) extract provides madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid, the four active compounds in centella that calm inflammation and support barrier healing. Dr.Jart+'s Cicabond complex uses all four at balanced ratios. Panthenol and hyaluronic acid add hydration. The milky texture absorbs cleanly under SPF and makeup.

Who It's For

• Reactive or rosacea-prone skin: Calms redness.
• Post-procedure recovery: Laser, peels, microneedling aftercare.
• Oily-sensitive skin: Light texture, effective calming.
• Dr.Jart+ routine users: Fits the full Cicapair line.
• Daily sensitivity management: Year-round use.

FAQ

Is this worth it over COSRX Cica products?

If cheaper cica doesn't work for you, the Cicabond complex at higher concentration often delivers visible results COSRX's cheaper versions don't. For users who respond to basic cica, COSRX is enough.

Will it help with rosacea?

Rosacea is medical; topicals don't cure it. But daily cica use can reduce flares and redness over 4 to 8 weeks. Pair with dermatology care for active rosacea.

Can I use with retinol?

Yes. Apply retinol first, let absorb, then cica lotion as a calming buffer.

Is it tinted?

No. The Cicapair Tiger Grass CREAM has a slight green-then-beige color correction. The Milky Lotion is untinted.

How long does 100ml last?

3 to 4 months at twice-daily face use.
