Spicule Spot Treatments

The AC Fighting Spot RX Cream Features Sea Sponge-Derived Microneedles

— February 17, 2023 — Fashion
The TIA’M AC Fighting Spot RX Cream is a spot treatment that's formulated to soothe blemishes and breakouts, rid the skin of dead cells, fade hyperpigmentation and unclog pores. The hard-working, oil-free formula contains not only 10% niacinamide and 7% zinc but also soothing cica, tea tree extract and spicules to target blemishes and acne.

A new wave of skincare is being made with micro-spicules, the small, needle-shaped structures sourced from marine sponges. These natural "needles" are now being included in everything from skincare masks and serums to creams.

As the brand notes, "natural spicules may cause an initial tingling sensation to the skin." Suitable for all skin types, this ointment-style cream is meant to be used as the last step in a skincare routine.
Trend Themes
1. Micro-spicule Skincare - Incorporating marine sponges into skincare products provides an opportunity for natural and innovative acne treatments that unclog pores and soothe the skin.
2. Spot Treatment Revolution - Developing new spot treatment formulas with unique ingredients will disrupt the existing market and allow for consumer-focused, efficient solutions for blemish-prone skin.
3. Hyperpigmentation Removal - Developing new formulas that combine natural and chemical ingredients that reduce hyperpigmentation will revolutionize the skincare industry's fight against discoloration.
Industry Implications
1. Skincare Industry - Incorporating unique, natural and effective ingredients like spicules present a new opportunity for companies trying to disrupt the skincare industry.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry - Combining ingredients such as niacinamide and zinc with spicules provides opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to develop new and innovative formulas for various skin problems.
3. Beauty Industry - Targeting blemishes and acne with innovative and natural ingredients like spicules provides the beauty industry with new opportunities to create natural, effective, and consumer-focused skincare solutions.
