Dealing with sudden, angry pimples can be frustrating, especially in warm, humid weather. This spot cream is an SOS treatment designed for rapid, gentle relief.

• Who it's for: Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types needing a targeted solution for active blemishes.
• What it does: Quickly calms inflammation, reduces the redness and tenderness of pimples, and supports the healing process without harsh drying effects.
• Texture: A lightweight, non-sticky cream that absorbs quickly into the specific spot without leaving a heavy film.
• Key Ingredients: Centella Asiatica Extract, Tea Tree Leaf Water, Pine Tree Complex, Niacinamide, Ceramides.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. Toner/Serum: Apply your usual hydrating steps.
3. Moisturiser: Hydrate your skin as normal.
4. [THIS PRODUCT]: As the final step in your routine (before sunscreen in AM), dab a small amount directly onto the active blemish.

Note: This is a targeted treatment. Use it only on spots, not all over the face.

Minimalist (4-5 steps):

1. Cleanser
2. Hydrating Toner
3. Moisturiser
4. [THIS PRODUCT] (on spots only)
5. Sunscreen SPF 30+ (critical last step)

Wait times: Allow the spot cream to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent smudging.

Minimalist (4 steps):

1. Cleanser (double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant SPF)
2. Toner/Serum
3. Moisturiser
4. [THIS PRODUCT] (dab onto blemishes as the final step)

Texture rule: Apply this spot cream last, as it creates a focused treatment layer on the blemish.

Daily Use — On Blemishes as Needed:

• Amount: A small dab, just enough to cover the surface of the pimple. A little goes a long way.
• Apply to: Directly onto the active blemish or inflamed spot. Avoid spreading it over clear skin.
• Method: Use a clean fingertip or a cotton swab to gently pat the cream onto the spot. Do not rub vigorously.
• Frequency: Apply once or twice daily to active spots until they have calmed down.

If-This / Then-That:

• If a pimple feels tender and red: Apply immediately to help reduce inflammation.
• If you've picked at a spot (try not to!): Apply a dab to help soothe the area and support healing.
• If using under makeup: Apply a very thin layer and allow it to dry completely before applying concealer to minimize pilling.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not apply to broken, weeping, or infected skin. Discontinue use if a widespread rash or irritation occurs.

• Immediate (First 12 hours): A noticeable calming and soothing effect on the blemish. Redness and tenderness may begin to decrease. (Ingredient Rationale)
• 1-3 Days: The size and inflammation of the pimple should be visibly reduced. The blemish may heal more quickly and with less irritation than if left alone. (Ingredient Rationale)
• 1 Week: Consistent use helps manage the lifecycle of a breakout, promoting faster healing and potentially reducing the chances of severe post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) by controlling the initial inflammation. (Ingredient Rationale)

Why use the Tea-Trica Spot Cream, not toothpaste or pure alcohol?

Many DIY "remedies" for pimples, like dabbing on toothpaste or neat alcohol, are extremely harsh. They aggressively dry out the skin, which can damage your skin's protective barrier, increase inflammation, and lead to worse dark marks (PIH) that last for months. This spot cream uses a targeted, evidence-based approach: calming ingredients like Centella and Tea Tree reduce the inflammation at the source without causing collateral damage to the surrounding healthy skin.

• Works Well With: Hydrating toners, gentle cleansers, barrier-supporting moisturisers (containing ingredients like ceramides or panthenol), and daily sunscreen.
• Use Carefully With: Other potent spot treatments (like high-concentration benzoyl peroxide or sulfur). It's best to use one targeted spot treatment at a time on a blemish to avoid irritation.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to large areas of the face. It is not an all-over acne prevention serum. Avoid use on open or weeping wounds.

• Oily / Acne-Prone: Excellent. Specifically designed to address the inflammatory breakouts common with this skin type.
• Combination: Ideal for targeting breakouts in the T-zone without affecting drier areas.
• Sensitive: Generally well-tolerated, as it focuses on calming ingredients. However, a patch test is always recommended due to the presence of natural extracts.
• Dry / Normal: Suitable for occasional pimples, but ensure the rest of the skin remains well-hydrated.

• Active inflammatory acne (papules and pustules)
• Redness and tenderness associated with new blemishes
• Sudden, unexpected pimples (SOS treatment)
• Managing breakouts in a humid climate

SKIN1004 (pronounced "Skin Cheon-sa," meaning "Skin Angel" in Korean) is a natural skincare brand dedicated to sourcing the highest quality ingredients from untouched nature. Their core philosophy revolves around the potent Centella Asiatica sourced from Madagascar, a region known for its pure and powerful botanicals. They prioritize gentle, effective, and clean formulations suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

Centella Asiatica

A medicinal herb known as "Gotu Kola" or "Tiger Grass," prized for its powerful anti-inflammatory, soothing, and wound-healing properties.

Tea Tree

An extract from the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, well-known for its natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, making it a popular ingredient for acne-prone skin.

Niacinamide

A form of Vitamin B3 that helps regulate oil production, improve the skin's barrier, reduce redness, and fade dark spots (PIH).

Ceramides

Lipid molecules naturally found in the skin that are crucial for maintaining the skin's barrier and retaining moisture.

PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)

The dark marks or spots left on the skin after a pimple or other inflammation has healed. It is more common and persistent in melanin-rich skin.

At Adilsons, every product is curated with care, ensuring it meets our high standards for truth, fairness, and efficacy. We promise 100% authenticity, sourcing directly from trusted brands and distributors in South Korea. Our goal is to protect and empower you, the consumer, with clear, honest information for a mindful skincare journey.

1. Can I use this cream all over my face?
It is not recommended. This is a concentrated spot cream designed for targeted application on blemishes only. Using it all over may be wasteful and is not its intended purpose.

2. How is this different from a pimple patch?
This is a cream that delivers soothing ingredients to reduce inflammation and redness. A pimple patch is typically a hydrocolloid sticker that absorbs fluid and pus from a surfaced whitehead and provides a physical barrier. They can be used together; apply the cream first, let it dry, then apply a patch over it if desired.

3. Will this dry out my skin?
Unlike many harsh spot treatments, this cream is formulated with barrier-supporting ingredients like Ceramides to be calming and non-drying. However, as it's a treatment product, it's best to apply it only to the spot and ensure the rest of your face is well-moisturized.
