There has been no shortage of viral products and trends under the TikTok beauty umbrella. (This story, this story, and this story are proof!) But, amongst the thousands, Dr. Jart+’s redness-neutralizing Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 ($52) might just reign supreme. Even though the Cicapair range has been around for a while (it was launched in 2005 by dermatologist Dr. Jung Sung-Jae), the Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 went viral last October,  with over 90M views of #DrJart on the social media platform, ultimately triggering the #tiktokmademebuyit trend. So yeah, as far as TikTok-famous beauty products go, the Cicapair cream is pretty much the Queen Bee.

That said, the brand has always been beloved—even pre-TikTok obsession—and there is no shortage of truly effective formulas bearing the Dr. Jart+ name. The brand describes itself as a fusion between science and art, and while its signature packaging might be described as “loud” it’s also unequivocally effective, merging the most innovative of Korean skincare technology with modern dermatological science. Fun fact: Dr. Jart+ was one of the first brands to bring the concept of BB Cream stateside!

To celebrate Dr. Jart+'s amazing range of formulas and to help you navigate the offerings, I reached out to the brand for a list of its five all-time best-selling formulas, followed up by a list of ten additional fan favorites. Keep scrolling! The best Dr. Jart+ products are just below.

This cooling two-step mask is like the low-lift, but equally satisfying, equivalent of getting an expensive, in-office cryotherapy treatment. It lowers the skin's temperature, stimulates micro-circulation (hello, radiant glow!), and even improves how well your complexion will be able to absorb its potent skin-improving ingredients. At just $14, it's no wonder these fly off the shelves!

If you're someone who likes the idea of flawless, practically airbrushed skin with barely any makeup sitting on your face, you might want to consider this best-seller which the brand touts as a reigning "cult-favorite." It boasts a powerful anti-aging complex and will also shield your skin from the sun's damaging rays.

Dr. Jart+ is arguably the most famous for its ingenious color-correcting products. If you favor lightweight formulas and serums, these handy drops are enriched with SPF and will simultaneously boost your natural glow while stealthily neutralizing any stubborn redness. Apply a few drops after your serum of choice, and watch the green drops as they magically meld to the color of your skin. They're great on their own or before makeup.

Thirsty skin will thrive after being doused with Dr. Jart+'s best-selling Ceramidin Cream. Seriously, prepare for transformation! Rivaling some of the most iconic (and insanely expensive) formulas on the market, this moisture-locking cream brims with five types of barrier-strengthening ceramides to heal, rehydrate, and rejuvenate a stressed-out complexion.

And now, the most viral Dr. Jart+ product of all viral Dr. Jart+ products: the Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30. If you're curious to dip your toe into the brand and want one top-selling option to try, make it this fan favorite. The buzz and before and afters on TikTok speak for themselves, but in a nutshell, it's a green-to-beige color-correcting treatment that nixes redness while also staving off UV damage and other environmental factors that can threaten the integrity of your skin.

A great option before a special occasion or social engagement, this two-step mask instantly improves micro-circulation, lifting and tightening the complexion.

Peeps with especially sensitive skin, this soothing two-step mask is for you! After one application your complexion will feel—and look—as cool and calm as a cucumber.

A strategic, travel-friendly kit that allows you to dabble in four of the brand's most beloved products.

The ultimate pick if you're in the market for a mineral sunscreen that's waterproof and so lightweight it will feel practically invisible on your complexion.

This is brilliant—plop one of these pint-sized micro spot patches on top of a pimple instead of opting for an expensive micro-needling procedure. Each patch is infused with vitamin B3 and peptides which melt into the blemish and help clear excess sebum.

Spiked with the brand's signature ingredients, this moisturizing toner is the antithesis to other popular options that actually dry out and strip your skin.

Imagine the magic of Dr. Jart+'s best-selling creams (aka potent centella asiatica!) but in serum form, instead.

Finding an effective moisturizer that won't cause or worsen acne can feel nearly impossible. This formula is so popular it's often sold out (as it is currently), but it's one to keep your eye out for as it helps to re-balance the skin's pH without drying out or irritating sensitive areas or existing breakouts that can often be sore.

Even though this mask might look like a beverage you'd pick up at a convenience store, it's actually the most game-changing of vitamin cocktails (for your face, that is!) The formula penetrates more deeply than most masks on the market, and the mix and shake application process is the ultimate addition to a fun night of self-care. 

We're obsessed with this new addition—a delectably foamy cleanser—from Dr. Jart+'s iconic Cicapair collection. With hydrating glycerin that also eradicates impurities for smooth, more youthful-looking skin, it's the ultimate addition to any skincare routine. (Especially if you're already using some of the brand's other products!) Up next, We've Been Obsessed with Summer-Centric Beauty Products—Here Are Our July Faves
