Dr. Jart+ eschews celebrity endorsements in favor of animation to communicate their brand. Dr. Jart+'s branding and packaging was refreshed by design firm Pentagram in 2018, starting with the international roll-out of their newly-created Ceramidin line. Dr. Jart+ is considered to be among the forefront of brands leading the Korean beauty wave. In an article for Racked, Ju Rhyu, a business-to-business consultant, believes that Dr. Jart+ is keen to "downplay" this angle, like competitors Amorepacific and Belif. These companies communicate a "very clear brand identity and the K-beauty message is more secondary," in an effort to secure brand loyalty and longevity.

Who do these kids think they are, The Beatles? Actually, Spurlock makes that connection more than once—first by noting that One Direction has conquered the world even faster than its Liverpool predecessors, second by casting the new British invaders in a loose "A Hard Day’s Night" homage." "Chicago Sun-Times"s Bill Zwecker felt "My major issue with “One Direction: This Is Us” is the use of distracting 3-D effects that feel forced. And the insertion of animation during some of the concert footage come off as jarring and kind of amateurish. That said, the film is a successful witness to the great charm possessed by all five members of One Direction.
