How it works
Sea Water (Maris Aqua) leads the ingredient panel on this cream. Sea Water is filtered and desalinated seawater used in place of plain water. It carries magnesium, calcium and potassium, so it brings the mineral balance of the base closer to skin's own. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Ecklonia Cava Extract and Laminaria Japonica Extract. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

Key actives
Sea Water (Maris Aqua)
Sea Water is filtered and desalinated seawater used in place of plain water. It carries magnesium, calcium and potassium, so it brings the mineral balance of the base closer to skin's own.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Ecklonia Cava Extract
Ecklonia Cava is gamtae, a brown seaweed harvested off Jeju. It carries phlorotannins, an antioxidant group found only in brown algae, and it is used as a marine antioxidant extract.
Laminaria Japonica Extract
Laminaria Japonica is kombu kelp. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and iodine, and it is used as a hydrating, mineral-rich ingredient.

What does Niacinamide do in this formula?
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.
Is this the Korean-market formula or a US version?
This is the Korean-market formula Purito Seoul sells on shelves in Korea, not a version reformulated for the US shelf.
What step does this cream go in a routine?
Smooth over the face as one of the last steps of a routine, morning or night.
Can I use this with other actives in my routine?
Niacinamide generally layers well alongside a normal routine; introduce any new active gradually and watch how your skin responds over the first week or two.

How to use
- AM and PM, as the last step of your routine before sunscreen in the morning.
- A pea-sized amount, pressed evenly over the face and neck rather than rubbed in.
- Let it fully absorb, roughly a minute, before the next layer.
- On dry areas or in winter, layer a richer cream on top if this gel-cream alone is not enough.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before full use, especially the first time.
