If the THC and CBD in your new moisturizer didn’t impress you as the blogosphere told you it would, maybe this new herb on the market will do the job. Dr. Jart+ 's new innovation, the Cicapair Tiger Grass collection, is the first emerging product line to showcase the use of an Asian wetland perennial called Centella Asiatica, or Tiger Grass. For centuries it served as a staple in botanical medicine because of its natural abilities to decrease inflammation, but the leading Korean skincare line Dr. Jart+ has incorporated the flora’s talents into a game-changing and skin tone replicating formula!
The name “Tiger Grass” is no play on words. During the dry seasons, tigers will roll in fields of wild Centella Asiatica to heal their battle wounds since the plant’s chlorophyll stimulates skin cell growth. This can attest to why the Dr. Jart+ collection is promised to repair redness and uneven skin tones.
The most intriguing product in the collection is the Tiger Grass Color Corrector, which at one point was described as a “skin color matching” formula, but is now being defined as a “green to beige” color product. This revision is unfortunately accurate. The product does offer a generally opaque coverage, so any complexion darker than light to light/medium will probably not have much luck with this particular item. When applied with clean hands to the face, the cream starts as a pale green and blends out to a fair skin tone pigmentation. If by your own judgment you have a coloration that falls into this category then this CC-cream could be a new staple in your makeup bag. This will give you a light to medium coverage that feels light as air.
Although it’s not a recreational drug in disguise, the Tiger Grass innovation might have made a name for itself in the beauty community. Most reviewers are calling it the perfect “no-makeup” makeup product and a staple for use.
