PRODUCT DETAILS

When one area needs a little more attention, this cream keeps care focused. Made for targeted areas, it is intended for active-looking spots rather than all-over application.

The formula combines 10% niacinamide and 7% zinc to help soothe the look of red spots and fade the appearance of dark marks. Tea tree oil and three Centella-associated compounds add to its blemish-focused ingredient story, while sea-sponge spicules help remove dead skin cells and clear pore buildup.

The cream is listed for all skin types, though its spicule formula may leave a stinging sensation after use. It is a focused option when you want care aimed at a spot and the visible marks it can leave behind.
