PURITO Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum (30ml)

The serum layers up several actives, each doing something a bit different:

• 10% Azelaic Acid: exfoliates, unclogs pores, smooths bumpy texture, and helps fade post-acne marks and redness
• Kojic Acid: reduces dark spots and uneven tone by slowing melanin production
• Niacinamide: brightens, supports the skin barrier, and helps minimise the look of pores
• Tea Tree (water and oil): antibacterial and soothing for acne-prone or inflamed skin
• CoQ10 (Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone): antioxidant that helps protect against environmental damage
• Glutathione and Vitamin E (Tocopherol): antioxidants that support brightening and overall skin health
• Bisabolol and Coptis Japonica Root Extract: calming ingredients that help reduce redness, good for sensitive skin
• Sunflower Seed Oil and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: lightweight emollients that nourish without feeling heavy

Overall, it's a good fit for oily, combination, acne-prone, or redness-prone skin that also wants some brightening and pore care.

It works on both at once:

• Azelaic acid exfoliates and unclogs pores to help prevent new breakouts, and its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help calm redness and inflamed pimples.
• It also slows down melanin production, which over time helps fade the dark marks left by old spots.
• A soothing complex (hyaluronic acid, cica, green tea) supports the skin barrier so skin heals more evenly.

Yes, it's suitable for all skin types, with a particular focus on oily and acne-prone skin. Sensitive skin types can use it too, though a patch test on a small area first is always a sensible step when trying a new active serum.

Yes. The azelaic acid in this serum has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe residual redness and irritation from healed spots, and smooth out post-acne bumpiness over time. Supporting ingredients like cica, aloe, and green tea add an extra layer of calming to help skin look more even.

Azelaic acid is the star ingredient here and works on a few fronts:

• Gently exfoliates inside pores to keep them clearer and help with breakouts
• Calms redness and reduces the bumpiness that often lingers after spots
• Slows excess melanin production, so post-acne dark marks fade more evenly over time

All three help with brightening and evening out skin tone, but each works a little differently:

• Kojic acid blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for producing melanin, which helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation over time.
• Niacinamide supports the skin barrier, calms inflammation, and helps reduce the look of post-acne marks and dullness.
• Glutathione works as an antioxidant, reduces melanin production, and helps protect skin from environmental damage that can worsen uneven tone.

Together, they support a more uniform complexion, particularly where post-acne marks are a concern.
