1. Cleanser: Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. DR.JART+ Ctrl+A Teatreatment Soothing Spot: Do not shake the bottle. Dip a clean cotton swab to the bottom, collecting the pink sediment. Dab directly onto the blemish.
3. Moisturiser (PM): Apply your moisturiser, avoiding the spot-treated area. Use this product at night as the final step of your skincare routine.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack).

This product is best used in the evening due to the visible pink calamine spot it leaves on the skin.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if wearing makeup/water-resistant SPF: oil cleanser → water-based cleanser) → 2) Moisturiser → 3) [THIS PRODUCT] (applied directly to blemishes as the very last step).
• Optional: After cleansing, you can use a hydrating toner or serum before your moisturiser for added hydration. Allow these layers to absorb fully before applying your moisturiser.
• Texture rule: Thinnest to thickest, with the spot treatment applied last to the affected areas only.

• Daily Use — PM:
  • Amount: Do not shake the bottle. Allow the pink powder to settle. Dip a clean cotton swab to the bottom of the bottle to saturate the tip with the pink sediment.
  • Apply to: Dab directly onto individual blemishes. Do not rub in.
  • Method: Apply as the very last step of your nighttime routine. Let it dry and leave it on overnight. Rinse off in the morning.
  • Frequency: Use nightly on active blemishes until they subside.
• If-This / Then-That:
  • If you have a large cluster of spots: Apply a thin layer of the pink sediment over the entire affected area.
  • If you have sensitive skin: Use on a single blemish first to test for any irritation.
  • If the spot is not coming to a head: The treatment can still help to reduce inflammation and redness.
• Watchouts: A slight tingling sensation upon application is normal. Discontinue use if you experience a strong burning sensation or rash. Avoid applying to broken or picked skin.
• Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

• Daily (PM): Use on active blemishes as the last step of your routine.
• Example week (PM focus): This product can be used nightly alongside your regular routine, including nights you use other actives like exfoliants or retinoids, as it is only applied to specific spots.
  • Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → Moisturiser → Spot Treatment
  • Tue: Hydrating Serum → Moisturiser → Spot Treatment
  • Wed: Retinoid → Moisturiser → Spot Treatment
  • Thu: Hydrating Serum → Moisturiser → Spot Treatment
  • Fri: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → Moisturiser → Spot Treatment
  • Sat: Hydrating Serum → Moisturiser → Spot Treatment
  • Sun: Retinoid → Moisturiser → Spot Treatment
• Safety: While it can be used with other actives, be mindful of overall skin irritation. If your skin feels overly dry or sensitive, reduce the frequency of your other actives.

• Immediate (Overnight): You may notice a reduction in redness and swelling of the blemish. The spot may appear smaller and less inflamed.
• 2–4 days: The blemish should continue to shrink and heal. For spots that have come to a head, this treatment will help to dry them out.
• 1 week+: Consistent use on new blemishes as they appear will help to manage breakouts and shorten their lifespan. This product is for treating active spots, not for preventing them or treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (the dark marks left after a spot heals).

• Why this, not toothpaste or DIY remedies? Unlike toothpaste, which can be irritating and disrupt the skin's pH balance, or harsh DIY concoctions, this spot treatment is specifically formulated with a balanced blend of effective ingredients like calamine and sulfur to calm inflammation and treat blemishes without causing further irritation or damage to the skin barrier.

• Works with: Gentle cleansers, hydrating toners and serums, and moisturisers. Can be used in a routine that also includes chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) and retinoids, as it is applied only to the blemish itself as the final step.
• Use carefully: If your skin is generally very sensitive or irritated, introduce this product slowly. While it's a spot treatment, be mindful of the cumulative effect of using multiple potent products.
• Avoid on: Do not apply all over the face. Avoid applying to broken skin, eczema, or dermatitis. Avoid the eye and lip area.

• Ideal for: Oily and acne-prone skin types who experience papules and pustules (red, inflamed blemishes).
• Suitable for: Combination skin types who have occasional breakouts in the T-zone.
• May not be suitable for: Very dry or extremely sensitive skin types, as the sulfur content can be drying. A patch test is highly recommended.

• Active acne blemishes (papules and pustules)
• Redness and inflammation associated with breakouts
• Excess sebum at the site of the blemish

• Patch Test Protocol:

• If irritation occurs: Discontinue use immediately. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.

• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains some ingredients that could potentially trigger fungal acne in highly susceptible individuals. It is best used as a spot treatment rather than over large areas if FA is a concern.

• Issue: The product doesn't seem to be working.
  Quick Fix: Ensure you are dipping the cotton swab all the way to the bottom to pick up the active pink sediment. Use it consistently on a blemish every night. Remember, it's for treating active spots, not preventing them or fading scars.
• Issue: My skin feels very dry where I applied it.
  Quick Fix: This is expected due to the sulfur and alcohol, which are meant to dry out the blemish. Ensure you are applying a good moisturizer to the rest of your face and only use the product on the spot itself. Reduce frequency if dryness is excessive.
• Issue: The bottle was shaken by mistake.
  Quick Fix: Simply let the bottle sit undisturbed on a flat surface for a few hours until the pink powder has fully settled at the bottom again.
