How it works
Purito Seoul Azelaic Acid 10% Kojic Tea Tree Serum is the Korean-market formula Purito Seoul sells on shelves in Korea, built as a serum or ampoule rather than a US-shelf reformulation. Azelaic Acid is a brightening and texture-refining acid used for uneven-toned, blemish-prone skin. On this formula's own ingredient list it sits high on the ingredient list, among the formula's main working ingredients. Niacinamide is a tone and texture ingredient that is one of the most widely used actives in current Korean formulas. On this formula's own ingredient list it sits listed after the base and thickeners, still well within the formula's active portion. Kojic Acid is a brightening ingredient derived from fungal fermentation, used for tone-evening work. On this formula's own ingredient list it sits listed further down the ingredient panel, in a supporting amount. Adenosine is the anti-wrinkle functional ingredient Korea's own cosmetic regulator recognizes at this exact name. On this formula's own ingredient list it sits listed further down the ingredient panel, in a supporting amount. Together, Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide, Kojic Acid and Adenosine give this serum or ampoule its working character rather than any single ingredient carrying the formula alone.

How to use
- Use it in the evening, after toner and before moisturizer, on skin that is dry to the touch rather than dripping.
- Three or four drops covers the whole face. Press it in and give it a minute before the moisturizer goes over the top.
- Start at two nights a week and build up. Do not use it on the same night as a retinoid or a second acid.
- Wear sunscreen the following morning. An acid worn overnight belongs in a routine that ends with sunscreen in the day.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before full use, especially the first time.
- Introduce gradually alongside a moisturizer and daily sunscreen if adding an exfoliating or retinoid-family active to a new routine.
