Dr.Jart+ Ctrl-A TeaTreement Soothing Spot 15ml
Description
Niacinamide, high enough on the list to say so.
What this spot treatment does
A 15 ml spot treatment built around Niacinamide, formulated to calm the look of redness, hold water in the surface and soften the surface.
The actives, near the top of the list
Zinc Oxide, Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid sit at number 6 and number 8 and number 13 of 60 — an ingredient list runs in order of quantity, so those are among the largest parts of what is in the bottle.
You can check it against the full list further down.
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Zinc Oxide | Inorganic UV filter. Listed as bulking agent, skin-protecting agent, UV filter. |
| Niacinamide | Nicotinamide (vitamin B3). Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top; studied for evening out tone; studied for breakout-prone skin. |
| Salicylic Acid | Beta hydroxy acid, oil-soluble. Listed as denaturant, keratolytic, fragrance, hair-conditioning agent. |
| Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid | Hyaluronic acid of reduced molecular weight. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Sodium Hyaluronate | Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Allantoin | Heterocyclic diureide. Used to calm irritation. |
| Centella Asiatica Extract | Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Beta-Glucan | Polysaccharide from yeast or oat. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Portulaca Oleracea Extract | Extract of Portulaca oleracea (purslane). Listed as skin-conditioning agent (humectant). |
| Ceramide NP | Ceramide 3. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own. |
| Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride | Medium-chain triglyceride from coconut. Used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells. |
| Glycerin | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Calming ingredients — Allantoin, Centella Asiatica Extract and Beta-Glucan — work on the look of redness. Humectants — Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin — draw water into the surface. Emollients and lipids — Ceramide NP and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride — sit on top and slow how fast that water leaves.
Humectants and emollients and lipids are the pairing that matters here: water pulled in by one, held there by the other. That is the difference between skin that feels comfortable an hour after application and skin that feels comfortable at bedtime.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin type.
Worth checking before you buy: contains essential oils.
How to use it
- Dip in a cotton swab without shaking the bottle, then gently dab onto the specific area you want to target.
