Skin-Nomad's Take — At a Glance
- 10% Azelaic Acid, 10% Tea Tree Leaf Water, and Kojic Acid for clearer, more even skin
- Three-mechanism approach to active breakouts and post-acne pigmentation simultaneously
- Capsule format — shake to activate before each use
Azelaic Acid's clinical profile is unusual among cosmetic actives: it simultaneously inhibits melanin synthesis, suppresses the bacteria driving acne, and reduces the inflammatory cytokines responsible for post-blemish redness — addressing the current breakout and the marks it leaves behind from the same active. At 10%, the PURITO SEOUL Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum delivers Azelaic Acid at the concentration used in over-the-counter preparations with peer-reviewed evidence, alongside 10% Tea Tree Leaf Water and Kojic Acid (1,000 ppm) for complementary tyrosinase inhibition. PURITO SEOUL is a Seoul-based brand founded in 2017.
Key Benefits
- 10% Azelaic Acid for pigmentation, bacteria, and inflammation: Inhibits tyrosinase to reduce melanin synthesis, inhibits Cutibacterium acnes and related bacteria, and reduces the pro-inflammatory cytokines driving post-blemish redness and rosacea-adjacent flushing — all three simultaneously.
- Tea Tree Leaf Water (10%) and Leaf Oil (50 ppm) for antibacterial activity: Delivers terpinen-4-ol antibacterial activity that complements Azelaic Acid's own bacterial inhibition for more comprehensive coverage of acne-associated bacteria.
- Kojic Acid (1,000 ppm) for complementary tyrosinase inhibition: Inhibits tyrosinase through a different binding mechanism than Azelaic Acid, providing a second, non-competing brightening pathway for persistent post-inflammatory marks.
- Niacinamide for barrier support and additional brightening: A third brightening mechanism via melanosome transfer inhibition, plus ceramide synthesis support to maintain barrier integrity during consistent acid use.
Ideal For
- Skin types: All skin types, particularly oily, combination, and acne-prone skin dealing with both active congestion and post-inflammatory marks.
- Skin concerns: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, active breakouts, rosacea-adjacent redness, dark spots, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores.
FAQ
Q: Why do I need to shake this before use?
A: The Tea Tree Oil is encapsulated and settles between uses. Shaking 3 to 5 times before application disperses the capsules evenly so each application delivers consistent active coverage.
Q: Can I use this morning and evening?
A: Yes. Azelaic Acid is not photosensitising and is appropriate for twice-daily use. Morning application followed by SPF addresses both the active treatment and UV-driven pigmentation prevention simultaneously.
The daily serum for skin that needs to manage active breakouts and the discolouration they leave behind at the same time rather than sequentially.
