Ctrl+A Teatreement Soothing Spot
Designed to stop the appearance of pimples, Dr. Jart+ Teatreement Soothing Spot is a targeted treatment packed with beneficial skin ingredients that offers almost instant relief from blemishes.
A pinkish, chalky liquid, Teatreement Soothing Spot gets its pretty pastel hue thanks to 9.9% calamine, which helps eliminate excessive sebum buildup, often the main cause of clogged pores and breakouts. Additionally, the brand's "Teatreetment™" solution uses Australian tea tree leaves to reduce inflammation and soothe redness, 2% niacinamide to help control oil production and brighten the skin, and glycerin to help moisturize and prevent the skin from drying out (this can cause unwanted scars in the long term).
