Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment

Targeted blemish care powered by tea tree-derived 4-Terpineol

A spot treatment designed to be applied directly onto active breakouts. Formulated with 4-Terpineol extracted from tea tree as the hero ingredient, plus 2% niacinamide and AHA and BHA—chemical exfoliants that help dissolve pore-clogging debris. AHA gently resurfaces dead skin cells on the surface, while BHA penetrates deeper into pores to help clear excess sebum and impurities. A blend of six plant-based ingredients—including licorice root, green tea leaf, and watermint extracts—soothes irritated skin while delivering a boost of hydration.

Clinical results confirmed after 4 weeks of use

A human application test conducted on 20 participants showed meaningful improvements.

• 24.17% reduction in acne severity
• 35.36% improvement in inflammatory condition
• 48.72% reduction in sebum levels

In a 24-hour closed patch test, all 31 participants received an excellent rating, confirming the formula is suitable for use without skin irritation.

Vegan formula designed for blemish-prone skin

Certified vegan and formulated without mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, synthetic colorants, alcohol, or parabens. Also PETA Cruelty-Free certified, meaning it was developed without animal testing. Contains 1% Phyto-Oligo—a blend of marshmallow and aloe vera extracts—that delivers moisture to sensitized skin while minimizing irritation. Recommended for those struggling with recurring breakouts and excess sebum, or anyone looking to refine pores and even out skin tone at the same time.

Targeted spot care step for breakout-prone areas

This is a localized treatment designed to be used during your serum or essence step. After toning, apply it directly and sparingly to areas where breakouts have appeared. It's not meant for all-over facial application — use it as a targeted treatment only where needed.

Safe for AM and PM use, but take precautions

Because it contains AHA and BHA, always follow with SPF if using in the morning. If you're new to this product, we recommend starting with your evening routine first to monitor how your skin responds.

Apply directly to breakout areas using the dropper

After cleansing and toning, use the dropper to dispense a small amount directly onto the affected area. Gently pat it in with your fingertip until absorbed, then continue with the rest of your skincare routine. For best results, focus on localized application rather than spreading it over large areas.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• For frequent breakouts: Follow a calming toner with this spot treatment, then finish with a lightweight hydrating cream
• For excess sebum and visible pores: Use after a lightweight water-based toner, applying only to breakout-prone areas in the T-zone
• For post-breakout marks: The 2% niacinamide helps support a more even-toned complexion over time

Precautions when using acid-based products

This formula contains AHA (an exfoliating ingredient) and BHA (which helps dissolve buildup inside pores), so layering it with retinol or other exfoliating treatments on the same day may cause irritation. Skip application on days when your skin feels particularly sensitive. If redness, stinging, or dryness persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
