What does a formula designed specifically for acne-prone skin with post-acne hyperpigmentation look like? The Purito Seoul Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum provides a precise answer: a 20% total active concentration that combines three clinically supported actives — Azelaic Acid (10%), Tea Tree Leaf Water (10%), and Kojic Acid (1,000ppm) — in a formula with a unique micro-capsule delivery mechanism that holds the Tea Tree Oil in suspension until the serum is shaken, releasing a concentrated dose of the active upon application. Azelaic Acid at 10% is the therapeutic concentration for rosacea, chronic inflammation, acne, and post-breakout hyperpigmentation — gently exfoliating dead skin cells, providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity against acne-causing bacteria, and fading existing pigmentation through melanin inhibition. Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) Leaf Water as 10% of the base formula provides a continuous antimicrobial environment; the encapsulated Tea Tree Oil provides an additional burst of purifying activity when the capsules are broken during application. Kojic Acid at 1,000ppm inhibits the tyrosinase enzyme responsible for melanin production, specifically targeting the post-acne marks and sun spots that azelaic acid simultaneously fades through its own mechanism. Niacinamide supports barrier function and provides additional tone-evening activity; Glutathione adds antioxidant brightening; Bisabolol (from chamomile) provides calming support; Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone (a CoQ10 derivative) delivers premium antioxidant protection. The formula is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, vegan, and cruelty-free.

What's Special About Purito Seoul Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum

• 20% Total Active Concentration (10% Azelaic Acid + 10% Tea Tree Leaf Water + 1,000ppm Kojic Acid): A clinical-level triple-active formula — each ingredient targeting breakouts and pigmentation through a distinct mechanism for comprehensive clarity.
• Micro-Capsule Tea Tree Oil Delivery: Encapsulated tea tree oil is held in suspension until the serum is shaken — releasing a concentrated antimicrobial burst upon application, immediately addressing acne-causing impurities.
• Kojic Acid (1,000ppm): Inhibits tyrosinase to specifically target and fade post-acne marks and sun spots — complementing azelaic acid's melanin-inhibiting mechanism for accelerated dark spot correction.

• Fragrance-Free, Non-Comedogenic, Vegan: Clean formulation that treats and clarifies without introducing the comedogenic or sensitising ingredients that can perpetuate the breakout cycle.
