Spot care

A two-layer spot treatment: a clear tea tree base and a pink calamine powder, dabbed onto troubled spots.

Dr. Jart+ Ctrl+A Teatreement Soothing Spot pairs a clear layer of Australian tea tree with a settled layer of pink calamine and zinc, plus salicylic acid and sulfur. It’s made for trouble-prone and sensitive skin, and has been dermatologist irritation tested and sensitivity panel tested, per Dr. Jart+.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Teatreement

    Dr. Jart+’s tea tree trio: leaf extract, leaf oil and terpinen-4-ol, the oil’s main active compound, to calm the look of troubled spots.

    No. 2, 25, 52 of 55 on the list

  • Calamine + zinc

    The pink powder that settles at the bottom of the jar, a classic soothing pair that helps soak up excess oil on the spot.

    No. 3, 5 of 55 on the list

  • Salicylic acid + sulfur

    A BHA that clears inside pores, and sulfur, a long-used spot-care ingredient.

    No. 32, 33 of 55 on the list

  • Niacinamide + green tea

    Support for an even-looking tone while the spot settles.

    No. 7, 9 of 55 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Witch hazel
  • Roman chamomile
  • Centella
  • Purslane
  • Licorice root
  • Pine bark

How to use

Two layers, two swabs

  1. 1

    Prep

    Cleanse and use your toner first.

  2. 2

    Don’t shake

    Keep the two layers separate: the clear base on top, the pink powder below.

  3. 3

    Clear layer

    Dip a cotton swab into the clear tea tree layer and dab it onto the troubled area.

  4. 4

    Pink layer

    With a fresh swab, reach down into the pink powder and dab it over the same spot.

Calm, one spot at a time

A targeted dab of tea tree and calamine for skin that looks calmer and clearer.

Good to know

  • Alcohol is first on the list; it’s a spot treatment for small areas, not for all over the face.
  • Contains salicylic acid (a BHA); wear sunscreen during the day.
  • Contains tea tree leaf oil, an essential oil, and camphor; patch test if your skin is reactive.
  • Sold in a 15 mL jar.
