🔬 Ingredient Breakdown
🌿 Tea Tree Leaf Extract (Melaleuca Alternifolia) 81.5% Proven
The hero ingredient and first on the list. Australian tea tree extract provides powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties that help clear blemishes and soothe irritated skin.
- Antibacterial: Tea tree has demonstrated effectiveness against Cutibacterium acnes, the bacterium responsible for inflammatory acne.
- Anti-inflammatory: Terpinen-4-ol, the main active component, helps reduce redness and swelling associated with breakouts.
- Clinical: Studies show 5% tea tree oil is comparable to 5% benzoyl peroxide for acne with fewer side effects, though slower onset.
💎 Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) ~2% Proven
A multi-functional skincare superstar that helps regulate sebum, brighten dark spots, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce pore appearance.
- Sebum Control: At 2% concentration, niacinamide helps balance oil production and reduce shininess over time.
- Brightening: Inhibits melanin transfer to help fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne marks).
- Barrier Support: Increases ceramide synthesis, resulting in a stronger, more resilient moisture barrier.
💧 Glycerin ~5-8% Proven
One of the most effective and well-studied humectants in skincare. Draws moisture from the environment and deeper skin layers into the upper epidermis.
- Humectant: A 2016 study found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
- Skin-Identical: Naturally present in human skin, it helps maintain the lipid layer in a healthy liquid crystal state.
- Barrier: Effective from as low as 3%, with increased benefits at higher concentrations for dry skin.
🧴 Ceramide NP 0.20-0.35% Proven
A skin-identical lipid that reinforces the moisture barrier and prevents transepidermal water loss. Works synergistically with Linoleic Acid in this formula.
- Barrier Repair: Ceramides make up about 50% of the skin's lipid barrier. Topical application helps replenish depleted ceramide levels.
- Synergy: Combined with Linoleic Acid and Phospholipids in this formula for enhanced barrier support.
🌱 Centella Asiatica Extract Proven
A renowned healing botanical (also known as Cica) that soothes inflammation, supports collagen synthesis, and accelerates wound healing — ideal for acne-damaged skin.
- Soothing: Contains madecassoside and asiaticoside which calm redness and irritation.
- Healing: Promotes collagen production to help repair acne scars and compromised skin.
🧪 Salicylic Acid (BHA) Trace Proven
A beta-hydroxy acid included at a very low concentration for gentle pore-clearing action. Works with the Teatreement™ Solution to target areas of pH imbalance on the skin.
- Pore-Clearing: Oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate into pores to dissolve sebum plugs and prevent blackheads.
- Note: The concentration in this formula is too low for significant standalone exfoliation but contributes to the overall blemish-targeting complex.

🔄 Where It Fits in Your Routine
Use morning and night after cleansing and toning. In the AM, follow with sunscreen. Pairs well with the Teatreement Cleansing Foam and Teatreement Toner for a complete routine.
📝 How to Use
Cleanse & Prep
Start with a clean face. Use your cleanser and toner as usual. If applying serums or treatments, let them absorb fully first.
Dispense
Squeeze a dime-sized amount of the gel-cream moisturizer onto your fingertips.
Apply & Massage
Gently massage into the face using upward and outward motions. Lightly dab over blemish-prone areas for targeted absorption.
Follow Up (AM)
In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. At night, this can be your last step or layer a sleeping mask on top if needed.
👤 Who Is It For?

- You need a lightweight base under makeup or sunscreen
- You want to fade post-acne dark spots and even skin tone
- You use active ingredients (retinol, AHAs) and need a soothing moisturizer
❌ Consider alternatives if:
- You have very dry or flaky skin — this may not be hydrating enough on its own

- You are pregnant or breastfeeding — contains trace salicylic acid
- You are very sensitive to tea tree or essential oils
- You need a rich, occlusive night cream for winter dryness

💰 Budget-Friendly Alternatives (Dupes)
Larger size (100ml) at nearly half the price. Uses birch sap (70%) instead of tea tree for soothing, plus tea tree oil and allantoin. Lighter texture, better value per ml, but lacks niacinamide and ceramides.
More affordable with a higher salicylic acid concentration (0.5%) for active acne treatment. Contains niacinamide and cica. Oil-free with a satin-matte finish. Larger size (80ml) but lacks the tea tree-based spot-targeting technology.
Combines AHA, BHA, and PHA for multi-acid exfoliation alongside tea tree extract. More active exfoliation than the Teatreement but potentially more irritating. Contains niacinamide. 60ml size offers slightly better value.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Caution is advised. The formula contains Salicylic Acid (BHA), albeit at a very low, likely sub-therapeutic concentration. While topical salicylic acid at low concentrations is generally considered low-risk, many dermatologists recommend avoiding BHA products during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precaution. Consult your OB/GYN or dermatologist before incorporating this product into your routine during pregnancy or nursing. The formula does not contain retinoids, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens.
No, this product is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that may feed Malassezia yeast, including Ethylhexyl Stearate (an ester), Sorbitan Olivate (olive-derived emulsifier), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. If you have diagnosed fungal acne or pityrosporum folliculitis, look for alternatives specifically formulated without these triggers, such as products with a simplified ingredient list free of oils, esters, and fatty acids with carbon chain lengths of C11–C24.
Yes, this moisturizer pairs well with most actives. With retinol: apply retinol first, then layer this moisturizer on top — the soothing botanicals can help buffer irritation. With vitamin C: use vitamin C serum in the AM, then apply this moisturizer. With AHA/BHA: since this product contains only a trace amount of salicylic acid, layering with additional BHA or AHA is generally fine, but if you experience irritation or over-exfoliation, alternate usage days. Always listen to your skin and reduce frequency if redness or peeling occurs.
This moisturizer is best suited for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. It was specifically formulated with a lightweight gel-cream texture that delivers hydration without adding oil or heaviness. Clinical testing showed it reduced sebum levels by 18% after 4 weeks. It is less ideal as a standalone moisturizer for dry or very dehydrated skin, though it can be layered under a richer cream if you enjoy the blemish-targeting benefits. Those with very sensitive or eczema-prone skin should patch test first due to the tea tree content.
You should feel immediate hydration and comfort from the first application. Within 1–2 weeks of consistent use, most users notice reduced oiliness and fewer new breakouts. By week 4, clinical data shows measurable sebum reduction (18%). For fading dark spots and evening skin tone through niacinamide, expect 2–3 months of consistent daily use. Results vary depending on skin type, severity of concerns, and overall routine.
Apply as the moisturizer step in your routine: after cleansing, toning, and any treatment serums or essences. In the morning, follow with sunscreen (SPF 30+). At night, it can be your last step, or you can layer a sleeping mask on top if you need extra hydration. For a complete Dr. Jart+ Teatreement routine: Teatreement Cleansing Foam → Teatreement Toner → Serums (optional) → Teatreement Moisturizer → Sunscreen (AM).
No. This product is dermatologist tested and confirmed non-comedogenic by the brand. Our ingredient-level analysis gives it a comedogenic rating of 1/5, meaning it has a very low likelihood of clogging pores. The formula is designed specifically for blemish-prone skin and contains pore-clearing salicylic acid. However, individual skin responses vary — if you notice new breakouts after introduction, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for optimal efficacy and freshness. The 50ml tube typically lasts 4–6 weeks with twice-daily use (dime-sized amount each application). Store in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed. If the texture, color, or scent changes noticeably, discard the product even if within the PAO window.
Verdict: The Dr. Jart+ Teatreement™ Moisturizer is a well-formulated, lightweight gel-cream that delivers on its promise for oily and blemish-prone skin. The 81.5% tea tree extract combined with niacinamide and ceramides provides a thoughtful balance of blemish-fighting actives and barrier support. It excels as a daily moisturizer for oily-to-combination skin, offering fast absorption and a non-greasy finish that layers beautifully under makeup and SPF. The main drawbacks are the small 50ml size relative to the $29 price point, the fact that it is not fungal acne safe, and insufficient hydration for dry skin types. If you have oily, acne-prone skin and want a K-beauty moisturizer backed by dermatological testing, this is a strong choice — just know there are more affordable alternatives with larger volumes that offer similar benefits.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
